Yes, I’m aware I can curse on the internet - it’s not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I’m more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with “fucks”. Stop word-policing me (and others).

Edited to add alt text.

Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can’t say is not lost on me.

    I don’t care if someone wants to say fork, that’s fine, and there aren’t many people that have a problem with that, and if they do, they can’t force you to say things differently anyway. At worst you get a post complaining

    The real problem is the other way around; that major internet sites are word policing the crap out of everyone else to the point where you cannot even say words like “death”. You have to say dumb shit like “unalive” and they do put real consequences to disobedience like being demonitized
