Because everything has to be PG or people throw a fucking snowflake temper tantrum. Even though everyone knows the words they’re obviously saying. It’s like bleeping out cuas words on the radio. It’s not like anyone over 4 doesn’t know what they’re saying.
As a side note I was an elementary teacher for a decade, your kids are sailors at school, even if you think they’re angels.
Idk where you got the idea that it is the people who want this bullshit. Literally everywhere you see this kind of censorship, people are complaining that it’s there.
It’s fucking corporate run spaces and their AI moderation that will stifle the reach of posts or just straight up remove them if they don’t follow the arbitrary censorship rules that is forcing content creators to self censor themselves in order to have their posts be visible on the major social media platforms.
The artist spoke about this on Reddit. Social media outlets automatically remove content with rape and ban the artists. She said she just can’t be bothered with the hassle so even though she dislikes doing it, she started self-censoring to comply.
As someone who has been browsing the web since the very beginning, young peoples’ obsession with only using the same five websites and nothing else is so fucking bizarre to me. Don’t like a particular platform’s censorship? Use a different fucking platform! We’ve never had more options!
If it’s really that way, then it really sucks. Tho I cannot blame the artist, they gotta get this thing across somehow. I just wished the artist would at least create an alternate uncensored version or something…
i mean i don’t like it either but I’m glad the artist is able to spread their work so I can see it, if they insisted on taking a stand and stubbornly kept making art that was immediately censored I don’t think this post would exist and that’s worse than the current situation

Good comic with good message, but why do we censor the word rape like we’re trying to avert our eyes from the truth?

I agree as someone who held onto reddit for far too long. But if you’re trying to reach a wide audience Lemmy doesn’t really work for that.
network effect
“I don’t mind, I just do as I’m told, that’s how you know the content is fresh af”
That’s what you choose to take away?

I mean, yeah. When you’re on a platform you have to abide by that platform’s rules if you want to be able to keep posting on that platform.

You can spread any message you like, as long as it is censored in compliance with the ministry of truth.
