I just adore the little white line through "butt". It's ironically adorable and performative. That's like in the 80-90's when they'd censor movies on regular TV when they'd bleep over "hole" but not actually censor "ass".

Makes me giggle everytime.

Even trying to censor or substitute any word for the sake of it being problematic is just stupid in my opinion. We all know the word it is you're trying to say anyway. The substitute is just as triggering because it is the principle, the ideal, that is triggering, not the actual word itself.

Words have power when you give them power regardless of how vulgar, crass, or respectful you're trying to be.

I always think of Michael Scott and one or two of his great lines when I have occasion to think/discuss this particular point. Honestly, I won't even quote it. There're actually two that fit perfectly, one being a single quote and one being a dialog.

I'd have to censor myself because I'm still not quite sure of the rules and guidelines. I'd be hypocritical by censoring it. It would also just be fun to draw out The Office (US) fans by letting them do it for me.

Surely we have one gyno on Lemmy to chime in with a charming story we will be referencing for months?

~~butthole~~

Again, FFS, do a quick search and post the uncensored version! It's not hard!

Haha OP is a ***** for censoring ******. How did the internet became like this?

This is what they call a pro ~~gamer~~ gyno move.

Now I really want to know the answer though

I can't tell what that word is before plug. Would the drain plug from my sink work?
