Yeah, it’s an unfortunate case of the mods deciding the ends justifies the means, but in effect their ends are not met and the means are damaging.

This misses the point.

The censorship is done in a manner that doesn’t prevent the message from being delivered. The only thing it accomplishes is the obfuscation of a word. It doesn’t stop you from knowing the word, or interpreting the word, or being affected by the word, it only acts as a facade of moderation, it’s “Moderation Theater”.

It’s been implemented with all the intent of censoring the speech, but only censors the word, so they’re either implementing their censorship poorly, or they’re implementing it disingenuously. Ask the moderators which, but the only effect their attempt at censorship has had is to limit legitimate speech as evidenced by the comment with the broken links showing the collateral damage.

Stumbled upon it in another thread, I don’t know how many other words are also banned.

Yep. It does.

Test post to see if it breaks links:

Eh, offence is taken, don’t take offence from people who’s opinions don’t deserve your respect.

I’ve been working at new job for a month, this week is the first week I remembered all 5 of my immediate co-worker’s names. It took me three weeks before I got a grasp on my boss’ name.

No it doesn’t they come from the same Abrahamic source, your fairytale is no more real than theirs.

That’s why we needs Athiest to push unsuspecting religious people out of planes so their gods can’t claim this.

Or you know, don’t hide if you want to be a celebrity. God seems kinda stupid. Maybe he should have eaten from the tree of knowledge.

You can’t offend me, I don’t know you well enough to respect your opinions.

Gone; wild.

Same in POMDSA, PODMAS, BOMDSA, PEMDAS, BEMDSA, et al.

I could go on, but it starts to get sad.

If I slap you there’s a non-zero chance Steve Job’s cock falls out of your mouth.

Elon Musk is a wannabe Steve Jobs, it all makes sense.

You should check out their healthcare system, $50 to hold their new born baby for skin to skin contact.

Wait till you hear how much mandatory paid maternal/paternal leave they’re ‘entitled’ to. I’ll save you the time, also zero. But at least they get 12 weeks, unpaid.

And unless you have a couple thousand to drop on a special induction setup, good luck cooking anything with a wok.
