Yes, I'm aware I can curse on the internet - it's not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I'm more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with "fucks". Stop word-policing me (and others).

Edited to add alt text.

Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can't say is not lost on me.

It is also someone's prerogative to criticise it if they want to. Stop word policing people, OP.

For the sake of being doubly contrary, I'm going to say that it's perfectly acceptable to say "fork" because that is a euphemism that you could verbalise, but saying "f--k" is bad because it isn't. /s

It sounds shucking idiomic.

I see the complaint mainly in relation to memes that are taken from another platform with tighter restrictions. It would be nice if people uncensored the meme instead of lowering us to that standard but aye who really gives a fuck at the end of the day. Censor or not we all know whats being said. We aint free until I can drop a full uncensored hard R nword (in a non racist context) without being banned.

When I was at school they enforced a rule that hair must be no shorter than 1cm. Naturally the rule was bullshit, and naturally the kids rebelled in various risque ways to assert their individuality against it.

Detentions were handed out, parents got involved, a big hoo-ha over absolutely nothing. But, our school had one of the lowest cases of drug-use compared to neighboring schools.

The kids were too busy rebelling against an obviously unjust rule, that they didn't bother to rebel the more traditional way through sex and drugs.

it's fk stupid that people get triggered over this, even saying 'ahh' in place of 'ass' makes them mad

I don't think anyone in this thread ever watched the good place.
