Why in front of the kid? With the r*ling? All ya gotta do is say "earmuffs" to him.. "earmuffs". Then you can say "Fuck, shit, rule" whatever you want!

Speaking of which, I meant to post more things to c/uncensor to get it some more content.

Good. Keep it up.

Are the n-word and r-word swears? I'm all for censoring those.

[–] lurklurk@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's pretty silly that using them in a discussion about slurs would upset enough people that it's better not to.

If you actually use them as slurs, censoring doesn't really make you a better person. Telling someone "you're a fucking r-word" isn't really all that much nicer than writing out the full thing...

I could see someone posting a screen grab where another used a slur and censoring it accordingly.

[–] lurklurk@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I guess there are two ways to view these words...

In one you see the use of the word as a slur as a bad act, in the other you see the word as damaging in itself, like having to watch nsfl gore or something.

If you feel the word itself is damaging to see, censoring it makes sense. If you just care about people not using slurs, seeing the word itself is fine.
