And why would they censor that and not “fag”, when the former are also used as neutral descriptions while the latter is almost exclusively used in a derogatory way?
And also, do I even have to point out how ridiculous it is to promote freedom of information while simultaneously selectively censoring certain words? That’s literally Russia levels of hypocrisy right there.
Also, nobody on 4chan actually censors that word, it must have been OP who did it, meaning they're afraid their mother is on Lemmy reading 4chan greentexts.
Being unable to find a group of enablers to reinforce each other's insanity is a good thing.
Having to have actual, real life humans as your social circle helps in actually socializing people. Like kittens who need other cats around to learn how to properly cat themselves. Without it they develop social issues or worse.
You see, the thing about that is you always hear about the guy who jerks off to r/dragonsfuckingcars and then does a mass shooting, but you never hear about the guy who goes to work in the morning, does an adequate job, comes home, jerks off to r/dragonsfuckingcars and then goes peacefully to sleep
and so many others online. there are so many very tight and close echo chambers, where people outright invent a new reality for themselves, and get angry, antagonistic towards actual reality
See: AntiVaxxers, NeoNazi's, and Flat Earthers.
at least before social media these nutbars stayed isolated and alone and couldn't get together and recruit / spread their messages easily.
It's an allegory for any "extremely niche" interest that would have been considered super weird before these people could easily find eachother, although OP probably had furries and people like that in mind.
Yeah, I've mostly heard this mentioned in reference to really obscure fetishes that you'd probably never have a chance to indulge in if it weren't for the internet.
I remember an early wtf Internet moment for me on fark.com someone linked a car-fucking forum complete with diy "muffler cosies", etc. Probably at least half joking, right??
It showed up on the front page. Doesn't change the fact that every post for the past 3 months from OP are shitty reddit reposts. Whatever. Continue to celebrate mediocrity.

I can’t think of anything more 2024 than openly talking about having sexual intercourse with household objects but censoring the word “retard”.

I switched over from your instance because of the censorship. It's infantilizing to cross out or add asterisks to such words.

Nah that's your instance. It shows up fine when I view it on mine, but when I go on your it does indeed say removed.

.world censored the full fag word

You mean gay? Or homosexual?
And why would they censor that and not “fag”, when the former are also used as neutral descriptions while the latter is almost exclusively used in a derogatory way?

No I mean f a g g o t is censored. Which is doubly ironic since fag isn't

Perhaps because it would upset British folks talking about their cigarettes?

Because 4chan is almost exclusively populated by 12-year-olds who think they're edgy but also don't want to upset mother
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today · 53 pts · 2y
They're mother isn't on 4chan and they know it.
Also, nobody on 4chan actually censors that word, it must have been OP who did it, meaning they're afraid their mother is on Lemmy reading 4chan greentexts.

By 12 year olds do you mean ACTUAL 12 year olds? Or 30 year old men who never mentally progressed past 12?

They went from 'toasters' to 'a toaster'. OP stopped slutting it up and found the toaster for them. How wholesome

Sure, but it was internet that made these tiny scattered groups into large findable ones
Before the internet you would need to live near a proud and loud toaster fucker to find a group

They probably have a good collection they want to share.
Do you enjoy telling people that their tastes are wrong? That doesn't seem a wholesome way of viewing other people.
It's especially odd to think someone's taste is wrong when it reaches the front page, indicating it's a popular taste.
I find it unremarkable that a person who created a greentext community likes greentext
