Why do people censor fuck or other profanity on the internet? I don't get it, and until now, I've been too afraid to ask.

Because not everyone is comfortable with swears

I understand that and I prefer to not swear most of the time as well. But these "I'll leave out the vowels" edits don't change the number of swearwords in the sentence.
