My mum might see it and take away my Xbox.
understandable, have a nice day 🫂
What the frick?!
It's a thing that has started to appear because of mainstream social media deleting post with "bad vibes". Kill, suicide, and such vocabulary are actively repressed to "ensure happiness"
That makes sense. Avoiding censorship is reasonable. I was thinking some people did it to avoid triggers, as if seeing 'r*pe' or 'k!ll' isn't the exact same thing as seeing the words spelled out.
It's more of a demonetization thing. I see it all over the YouTube videos of homicide investigation police interviews, which makes no sense.

Yeah that would be a pretty poor trigger warning.
Yeah they don't like when people talk about mental health issues. Go kill yourself in private and stop getting your bad vibes all over my nice, clean website.
Oh shit, it's the thought police!
bruh was planning on posting this on roblox or some shit
I don't know, but watch out for anybody wearing a red asterisk.

Good thing you censored those naughty words, everyone on the internet are children and it's not appropriate for them to know such no-no words.
I'm glad no child knows the word "kill". Phew.
My business website has “kill” in it, and the business bankers at my bank can not view it on their work computers. Its blocked because of that string in the URL.

Solved simply by treating tolerance as a social contract instead of an absolute moral doctrine.
Break the contract, lose the protections.
Well put.
It really is just as simple as "don't do mental gymnastics", there's only a paradox here if you make one

Why is the meme censored?
To get around automated censors I imagine
I guess the weird censorship shows that op or whoever the hell made this are litteral children.
It's to get around auto-censorship on social media sites.
What are these awful web sites?
TikTok.

~~People don't have a problem with tankies because they want to use violence against fascists. Violence against fascists is fine.~~
~~People dislike tankies because they're reactionary assholes. They dislike them for cheer-leading unjustifiable abuses and failures because they believe we're in some zero-sum game that excuses it. Because they're extremists, oppressive authoritarians, and want to use violence against all of their ideological enemies, including the "wrong kinds" of communist.~~
~~The good things they believe in and do aren't what people have an issue with: it's the inexcusably bad parts of their ideology people don't like, and the fact they're obnoxious about it.~~
Edit: I stand by what I said, but apparently its easier to recognize flags when you expand the image ... and my rant had nothing to do with the post.
