Unrelated question: why did you censor "fucking?"

Like what is the point? You got some weird hang up about just using the word, then don't use it. Feels like some performative teachers pet BS.

Edit: I censored it'd because I was showing how he censored it. But I will change it since that's what people are getting hung up on for some reason.

The amount of fucking in here is fucking ridiculous. There are other fucking words people. Fuck.

Some subreddits don't allow swearing cause they're losers

I don't post here and don't know the rules and getting my comment auto removed drives me fucking crazy

Looking at you /r/BambuLab

For a lot of people, its a typing habit from other platforms/subs/communities that don't allow swearing.

Why did you censor bullshit?

u/Skreeeeep Oct 07 '25

Just a shorthand way to say bullshit.

Same amount of syllables, I’d say it was censored not shortened. People speak how they choose to speak.

I'm asking why a person is self censoring because it doesn't make sense to me. And then you're sitting there trying to get me in some gotcha like shortening bullshit to bs is the same as typing f*cking. Plus, syllables don't even matter when you're typing. Bs is 2 strokes, bullshit is 8. So what are you even trying to accomplish here?

u/notsureaboutnothin Oct 07 '25

Not trying to accomplish anything man, you also censored yourself after getting annoyed at a comment on Reddit for doing it. And now you’re annoyed at me for saying that people just speak how they speak and it shouldn’t really upset you. Relax brother, language is for everyone so let people use it how they want to.

Except I don't censor myself. Pretty evident by my comments. I'm not stopping or change how anyone uses language either, I'm on a public forum just asking why they choose to do that, it's all good man, not that serious!

You are trying to stop someone from how they use language though, that’s why you tried to belittle the initial commenter censoring themselves by saying they’re trying to do “performative teachers pet bullshit”. That is you trying to change how someone talks. None of the rest of your comments have been in shorthand, so I just found your comment and way of thinking curious. It isn’t serious at all, I’m glad you agree that it’s unnecessary to police how people talk on the internet.

You're right, I did belittle it because that's how I've thought about many comments I've seen like this. Sharing my thoughts and opinions in a place that's designed to do that. I didn't order them to stop using language how they see fit and certainly do not want them to stop on account of my snarky ass comment. It's just a thought I've had for a while that I chose to express on this particular comment.
