I swear to god, more and more I keep having ‘clean’ versions play on Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer - despite the song being marked as ‘Explicit’.

And no, I definitely do not have the setting checked for only playing clean versions.

It’s not just me - is it?

    I predict we won’t be able to properly express how someone looks in 5 years, because all words will be offensive.

    White/Black/Asian. Fat. Bald. Skinny. Women/Man. Probably all offensive soon.

      Oh come on. Extremists gonna extreme. Some will try to make a bunch of words offensive, the others will keep fighting for their right to use these words. The vast majority of the rest of people will just keep living their lives and just use whatever’s the most appropriate word at a given time with the language evolving. It used not to be considered really offensive to insult people with gay slurs when I was in high school. Languages evolve with their times, and that’s perfectly fine.
