    Because it makes victims of sexual assault feel better and is easy as shit to do as the most basic level of courtesy you fucking abominable failure of a human being.

      It also makes it harder for victims of sexual assault to use word filters to hide posts about topics they find triggering.

        The reason I’m hostile is caused by:

        Is Tor the only way to avoid this shit? Jfc

        I will absolutely show hostility to anyone acting like reading a censored word is somehow worth this reaction

          We dont know if the person was unaware of our policy on language use or being deliberately insensitive. Assuming a perosn is malicious in questioning censorship on the internet when we are in the middle of a corporate enforced culture of saying “unalived” and “pdf-file downloader” is jumping to conclusions.

        Victims: “This helps us”

        You: “Get over yourselves”

        I am literally one such victim. You are a massive piece of shit and are completely dismissive of other people’s feelings. It costs you literally nothing and seethe to ever have to think about moderating yourself for the sake of literally anyone else.

        If you ever have a daughter that becomes a victim you’re going to learn that saying these words around her is going to make her freak the fuck out and ANY amount of consideration is going to lessen that effect. I however sincerely hope you never have children because you are clearly too fucking selfish and shitty to put others first even when the only fucking thing being asked of you is to be considerate of others when saying certain words.

        And nobody even asked YOU to use an asterisk. SOMEONE ELSE voluntarily did it and it made your blood boil just to see someone else being a significantly better person than you will ever be in the rest of your miserable pathetic life.
