minor tomfoolery š»šØš¶

I edited the post, thanks for taking the time to Photoshop this!
My pleasure, thanks for the quick edit.

it was pretty fucking obvious, maybe it was not the element here that was dumb.
Cursing online ā going somewhere and yelling obscenities at strangers. You're an idiot if you think it's salient, but hey ā I'm not the one agreeing to throating my corporate overlords so maybe it's just something I won't ever understand.

Even the undercarriage looks like it hasn't fully loaded into the environment.
They didnt shade all the underside vertex you arent supposed to see.

I always find it funny how cursing used to be "contrary to polite speech", and in doing so you were asserting your freedom of speech.
But now, on the internet, self-censorship is considered "uncouth", freedom of expression be damned. So now you will be attacked if you say "I'll F*%Kin talk however the f$$k I wan't Sh*thead!"
that's kinda disingenous, the thing about censorship is that it's inherently submitting to a higher authority, which for obvious reasons people have started realizing fucking sucks actually.
censoring yourself is giving power to the platforms and people who want to run our lives and make people suffer for their own profit.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Depending on the circumstance, I completely agree. There are certainly many cases where censoring yourself is giving away your power and freedom of expression.
However, it's not disingenuous to say that if I want to censor myself, for any reason, on the internet I will likely be shamed by folks who want to assert their values over mine. And as such, acquiescing means I am once again giving away my power to the people who want to dictate what I do with my life.
Perhaps I want to do it because I find it funny. Or perhaps I want to do it because I'm trying to emulate a classic comic book speech style, which often had to use censorship because they were being controlled, but now has become a recognizable convention. Or perhaps, as I already mentioned, I simply want to do it to assert my right to speak how I choose,despite the "higher authority" of the crowd.
For whatever reason, giving up my freedom of expression, as you already mentioned, f*%king sucks actually.
For example, take this post. OP didn't care if it was censored or not, they just wanted to share something funny and didn't want to work to do it. Yet most of the comments are about the rage felt by folks who wanted OP to do more work so they didn't have to see a black bar.

You took an analogy literally, and you don't seem to understand the difference between accepting something, and knowing keyboard warrior behavior is useless.

I've had to bring this up elsewhere, but could we please stop making and reposting unnecessarily censored memes? The obscured word here is 'FKN', not even 'fucking'. This isn't Tiktok, these alterations are kind of gratuitous...
Iām so depressed I want to self harmonica now. Maybe even Kermit sewer slide.

obligatory copypasta
Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn't know it's fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone blurred a very small part of there of five letters making it impossible to read the word "shit". I was about to shit a fucking brick.
fuck
edit: @[email protected] took the time to edit it to remove the censor, so I changed the image in the post to that. Thanks!

Jax you rebel, you should show them what you think of censorship by yelling ten times bad word in public. You have my full support, hero.
You are fucking stupid

wrote on last edited by [email protected]If you don't want to swear, don't swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to "f*ck" doesn't accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like "!@#*", now you're just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldn't you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)
Edit: Oh, and this is missing the original point entirely: the original post said "fkn". That is their freedom of speech. Someone else decided to censor it before sharing. That is not covered under their freedom of speech (well, technically it is, but it's also a clear case of censorship.) If the original post didn't contain any censorable words, that is completely up to the author. But if you share a post and felt the need to inject your personal belief that "fkn" is a no-no word? Nobody asked.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]What if I don't "not want to swear", what if I want to used self-censored curse words?
Should I sacrifice my freedom of speech to appease others? Cuz that sounds an awful lot like censorship to me.
Edit to answer your edit: Oh, and this is not missing the original point... at all. It is more than fair to say who ever originally censored the post was doing so against whoever originally posted it's wishes and that's obviously uncalled for and uncool.
But when that was screen capped and posted here, OP didn't care to un-censor it or look for an uncensored version. They were forced to preform a kind of "Topsy-turvy" censorship, in which their original post was considered "offensive language", and had to re-upload the image to appease the crowd (though OP clearly appreciated the effort the other lemming put into changing it, so it's not like they were "un-censored against their will". So not really a big deal frankly). Still, that leads very nicely into my original (and thus the original) point.
My original point is just that I find it funny how censorship used to be polite speech, and is now considered impolite in circles such as these. And that point is aging like fine wine with how much people are trying to tell me that my freedom of speech is offensive to them. (Sure, you could say you don't find it technically offensive, but you are asking me to change it or otherwise telling me it's the "wrong" way to speak).

What is your point? You don't want to swear, but you don't not want to swear either? Maybe sort out your beliefs then.

I've got my beliefs sorted, I want to be able to express myself however I choose. Including using censored curse words if I so choose.
And my point is, as I've said a few times, that I find it funny how censorship has gone from "polite" to "offensive".

What I'm about to say is probably the worst horrible take a self-proclaimed sapient lifeform could have, and I never thought I would ever say such a thing, but...
The MTV version fucking sent me and I'm glad a television channel heavily censored it so they could air it
