Why censor 4-Chan bad language in a 4-chan community. We can handle reading “normalfag”

It seems to be taken from a platform that scans for bad language in pictures and demonetises/restricts access to these posts.

The image was like this when I saved it. I’m not going to take the time to censor bad words.

I thought that might be the case :) Censored for Reddit

Frankly censoring that word would have been better done by the user who typed itz

Drag doesn’t want to handle it. Drag wants to read greentexts without seeing slurs. Drag can handle it, but doesn’t think drag should.

Americans are fragile snowflakes who cannot handle seeing bad words regardless of context and intention. Their freedom of speech is severely restricted as a result.

“Not using slurs is woke and that’s bad” shut the hell up, loser.

This is not what I said. Using slurs is bad. Censoring slurs when quoting is also bad and useless. Only Americans are afraid of words in such a way.

I mean I do agree with the first part but that’s not what freedom of speech is in a legal sense

In a literal sense or do you mean in a legal sense?

That’s another thing - Americans seem to be convinced that “free speech” is a legal concept and nothing else.

I think it’s pretty funny that someone felt the need to censor “normalfag” but not “sperglord”

Sperg is short for Asperger.

At least the latter is more of a self-label. The former is just nonsense for the sake of it, especially when “normie” already exists and is popular.

Everyone on 4chan is some xfag

Honest question, are you familiar with 4chan at all?

It doesn’t really matter, if they want to censor it that shouldn’t bother anyone except the people who’s a halfway well-adjusted member of society. It’s not some commentary on the death of free speech to opt to censor out a slur, chill.

Why did normalfags get censored? Who’s comfortable mining content from 4chan but not seeing the word “fag”?

How fucking wild would that be. Corporate bots scraping content off 4chan only to then edit and sanitise it for advertisers before posting it to a 4chan thread

I do not know whether that guy sits alone because he likes it that way…or maybe we won’t have anything to talk about and it’ll be awkward…? No use in risking it…

I am working on my mental health but this and much more was absolutely normal thought process I had before. I still have some leftovers. Yuck.

The other dude:

“Why the fuck is he waving and smiling at me each day? This is awkward? What should I do? Maybe just smile and wave back to make it less awkward.”
