why are words like Rape and fuck only censored with one letter being omitted?
why are words like Rape and fuck only censored with one letter being omitted?
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Why would anyone sensor the "rape" word?
Shitty word filters
Some people would rather not see that word. And importantly some algorithms don't want people to see that word.
Unless you are hiding the word entirely behind a spoiler tag every common substitution list would account for this and it doesn't look visually different enough to just not think "rape"
I've been raped and it's hard to have honest conversations now days because of this superficial escapism. It's definitely not an easy subject to discuss but hearing people say shit like "They've been graped" or "r@ped" seems to cheapen the gravity of the word and the experience. It's a word and topic that should make people uneasy and uncomfortable. On the same token people should be mature enough to see and hear these things or mature enough to leave, move on or skip it if they aren't able to handle it.
people should be mature enough
there's your first mistake.
I've know a few disabled people and they always tell the best disabled jokes ... so, do you know any good rape jokes?

I do agree that it's not really effective in either case.
