Current Events > I'd like to talk about the giant elephant in the room

(+) Yeah! (+)

So we can freely say many things now, like fuck, including shut the fuck up, shit, among various other profane words.

So why is the word that you can't spell out in d-bag completely prohibited? Is it that bad of a word that it's considered worse than fuck?

I understand that C word being locked down for sure. But the D word, and it's not dick?

Why? WHY?

Douche?

Yeah, we can't even talk about the protag from South Park: The Stick of Truth? That's BULLSHIT.

Well I'll be damned.

lol

I've never seen it written so neatly before

I realized this when I wanted to make a political thread

I'm dumbfounded

We also cant use swears when tagging someone. We can call someone batshit insane in a thread for all to see, but we cant privately indicate they are for future reference.

Weird. But to be fair its also weird that c******* is banned. Ive never heard that as an insult.

Clitoris

lets try: frenulum labia

wait nevermind i dont know why i thought that was banned. Carry on.

Yes a good many tags I have attempted were rejected. We need to open these things up more mods.

Someone get SBAllen on the phone. I'd like a word.

I don't even understand the c word being blocked. I mean there is a profanity filter. Put it in there and so the people who don't want to see it won't and the people who don't care either way can say whatever they want.

See you next Tuesday doesn't make sense to me

It's basically something you just don't say in the USA, I don't know where you are from, but it's a more common insult in other places, same with the T word describing the same body part.

You watch British videos of guys in pubs watching football and they drop the C word like it's nothing. I don't know why it's a more divided term depending on the region but it is.

Same. Dont get the random distinction between titles and posts. You either have censoring on or dont.

Also i fucking swear clitoris was once not allowed in posts either. It came up once and i dont remember why but it wouldnt let me say it.
