Censorship is a real problem, but you don’t have to embrace it. That’s just making the problem worse.

    I agree, I don’t like all the self censorship that I think comes about from algorithms like tiktok - I’m not talking about ideas, but instead about literal words replacement censorship like “unalive” “seggs” and that like

    I want people to be bold enough to use the real word - at least in irl conversation.

    It feels way too much like Orwell’s Newspeak

        Bootlickers love corpos doing this and they enable it.

        Kinda like boomers provided political cover for corpos to duck us over.

        Plenty of people don’t fall in line, but those aren’t the ones you’ll see on your social media feeds. The perception filter works two ways, only the kids stuck online for too long seriously start using that type of language and shitty social media can trick you into thinking it’s a universal thing.
