The absolute low of this for me is that I've noticed people censoring the word 'porn'. You're obscuring the word that describes the already censored thing, why censor the word itself? It's not even a swear word (which to me don't make much sense in censoring in the first place)

We have to remove the Christians from power and refuse to give them moral authority over us, formally or otherwise. We can't let them oppress us any longer

I'm pretty unimpressed seeing christians embrace metal while they reignite the satanic panic

Off topic: As someone who just got a verbal reprimand at work for "language" due to having an outburst of irritation where an
explosiveexpletive was used (which is a common enough occurrence in the hangar where I work), I'm seriously about to start auto censoring everything in the most gen Alpha way possible just to annoy the others.Duamerthrax@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
I once swore infront a bunch of other adults in a non-work, but professional setting and someone stopped me to point it out. I paused, looked around for any kids and when I didn't see any, pointed out it was fine. They were on the conservative side, but I'm not bending at the knee for that shit.

When I run a social media site, it will be a rule to use uncensored terms, and any use of asterisks or alt-words like “unalive” will result in a warning or suspension.

Hopefully this will result in more people hosting their own games.

This is going to hurt indie devs who have little budget for their games.

Those Collective Shout assholes show that petitions work. Now we have to petition to make it safe for NSFW games to be allowed to sell their product.
This censorship means more censorship is coming, we must fight back against this

there is a lesson in this, never trust corporations or you will get ruined by them eventually. Either we learn to survive without them or just silently go into the night.
