Iv seen posts with people substituting rape with r@pe. Other than bypassing filters I can’t see a reason to censor just 1 letter that doesn’t actually censor the word? I see if you fully censor the word, but even still context completely ruins the censorship.
It’s really shitty for people that actually want to filter triggering stuff out of their feed.
Putting in stupid characters doesn’t make it any less upsetting for the people it upsets, but it does force them to see it because fuck them, apparently.
It’s a shitty, entitled thing to do, and people who do it should feel bad about themselves.
Exactly what I’m thinking, it solves nothing but does create a problem.
