Did you draw a little blob on the U in case we were scared of the word fucking?

and it remains precisely as pointless as replacing letters with stars, as if i'm too dumb to figure out what is meant by f****ing

censoring swears will never make sense

It's really sad to see someone self-censoring, what shit platforms have they been using that have made them afraid of using the naughty naughty words?

I've noticed so many people self censor so much on tiktok that it's legit changing how they speak. Crazy.

Thought that was a mouse cursor unfortunate enough to have been caught in the screenshot.

[–] PatMustard 5 points 8 months ago

No I just took this off the Internet as is.
