My daughter once asked me, "Do rainbows stop the rain?"
She was three and, in my opinion, very insightful. These rainbows keep showing up right about the time the rain stops. A little too convenient to be a coincidence, right?

But what is he addicted to? We'll never know!
This new coddled baby internet for children where you can't say adult words is getting tiring.
When does the adult internet come back?

This isn't Tiktok, stop censoring shit.
did he just say her**n 😳 dude chill ☹
Good thing I was protected from that last word.
They left "her", which changes the poor lad from a humble druggie to an obsessive creep.

He's addicted to her. Hear that? Women are addictive, and make you a junkie! /s
He's protected from Her? It's a sex thing.
No wait, he's protected from He - it's even more of a sex thing.
Is this stupid trend of censoring words a USA thing? And why is it so popular? I'm legit wondering since I cannot understand.
Honestly at this point it's just engagement bait. Yes, the trend is awful and terrible and stupid, but also people cannot resist the temptation of calling that out as well, so now it serves double-duty of being easy comment farming (note: this applies more to places like reddit than here on Lemmy, but I'm speaking in generalities here).
It's a kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't thing in terms of responding to this stupid self-censorship.
Lots of social media now deprioritizes "advertiser unfriendly" content. Especially TikTok. So, the response to that is to self-censor so that you still reach full engagement. It's an arms race to keep swearing without the algorithms silencing you for doing so.

It's a social media thing. Supposedly posts get deprioritized by the algorithm if they contain "family unfriendly" words like kill or drug references. No idea if it's actually true or just a myth, but it's why users edit out innocuous words in these screenshots.
I think the correct term is "advertiser unfriendly".
I wouldn't be surprised if that was true though.

Depends, actual censorship of words exist worldwide.
Pointless censorship however i have only seen in US and Japan, but both for very different types of content.
