      Holy fuckin shit it’s this one comment every single post. You know exactly why words are censored on social media sites.

        You know exactly why words are censored on social media sites.

        I actually don’t know why mild swear words like “bastard” are self-censored on the neo-Nazi social media website like a superstitious 12-year-old on XBL who thinks their parents might be home so whispers “you’re a dumbass bitch” 2 centimeters from the mic.

        Please, enlighten us with what would happen to this user if they said “bastard” without the asterisk like it makes any difference to “dah algurathamm!!1”

        My question is more why are they censoring themselves when the person they’re parodying didn’t? When the person they are parodying holds likely the highest office in the world today and they themselves are just some random poster?

        Right. This place had like ten things it talks about and is a subset of the most insufferable of us from Reddit. It has a great benefit though, in that I spend vastly less time online these days.
