why are kill and violence censored?
It’s a thing that has started to appear because of mainstream social media deleting post with “bad vibes”. Kill, suicide, and such vocabulary are actively repressed to “ensure happiness”
Yeah they don’t like when people talk about mental health issues. Go kill yourself in private and stop getting your bad vibes all over my nice, clean website.
Oh shit, it’s the thought police!
That makes sense. Avoiding censorship is reasonable. I was thinking some people did it to avoid triggers, as if seeing ‘r*pe’ or ‘k!ll’ isn’t the exact same thing as seeing the words spelled out.
It’s more of a demonetization thing. I see it all over the YouTube videos of homicide investigation police interviews, which makes no sense.
Yea YouTube and TikToks automated demonetization is definitely a big part to blame for this stupid trend. It also annoys me as an enjoyer of YouTube murder porn.
It’s especially dumb because there is some extremely heinous stuff on YouTube that is still monetized, and when a video is demonetized for a channel they still play ads all over it, too.
I don’t know, but watch out for anybody wearing a red asterisk.
bruh was planning on posting this on roblox or some shit
I litterally frowned at that
My mum might see it and take away my Xbox.
What the frick?!
understandable, have a nice day 🫂
Why is the meme censored?
I guess the weird censorship shows that op or whoever the hell made this are litteral children.
It’s to get around auto-censorship on social media sites.
What are these awful web sites?
TikTok.
So far as I know Facebook and Instagram.
You can’t say “kill” or “violence” on Facebook and Instagram? That’s some pretty heavy-handed censorship.
If it gets reported it can get taken down, yes.
But this is Lemmy so why are they still posting them?
It’s called a repost. People are allowed to repost stuff they find on other sites.
Doesn’t mean they should repost censored content. Respect that this is a different, freer format and go find the uncensored version.
Such a version may not exist if the meme was originally posted to Facebook.
That’s troubling.
Make your own. Become god.
So, you can’t use the word “kill” or “violence”? Or show a swastika? Even if it’s anti-Nazi?
Sounds like the solution is to just not use that social network.
Man, the Diaspora project has really gone to a weird place.
Lot of enlightened centrists showing up to comment on this like
People don’t have a problem with tankies because they want to use violence against fascists. Violence against fascists is fine.People dislike tankies because they’re reactionary assholes. They dislike them for cheer-leading unjustifiable abuses and failures because they believe we’re in some zero-sum game that excuses it. Because they’re extremists, oppressive authoritarians, and want to use violence against all of their ideological enemies, including the “wrong kinds” of communist.The good things they believe in and do aren’t what people have an issue with: it’s the inexcusably bad parts of their ideology people don’t like, and the fact they’re obnoxious about it.Edit: I stand by what I said, but apparently its easier to recognize flags when you expand the image … and my rant had nothing to do with the post.
Its not even their ideology, its the fact they defend murderous tyranical regimes and try to be apologetic, defensive or straight up deny that shit.
And again, that’s enough internet for today. I’ll see you tomorrow, with hopefully better content
Good thing you censored those naughty words, everyone on the internet are children and it’s not appropriate for them to know such no-no words.
I’m glad no child knows the word “kill”. Phew.
the algorithms like to censor certain words and symbols
The real version is the first guy says he won’t bake a cake for a gay couple, which is shitty, but his right. Then the second guy comes along and says he wants to kill the first guy because nazis also wouldn’t bake cakes for gay people, so the first guy must also be a nazi, and nazis all deserve to die, so this guy does too.
Then a rational person comes along and points out that both of them are being shitty and everyone loses their goddamned mind over it.
I’m no historian, but I have a feeling there isn’t a lot of scholarship on Nazi bakers.
I dunno about you, my dude, but the only people I’ve seen fucked up by antifascists were not saying that they didn’t want to bake a gay cake.
But I’ve seen the people who didn’t want to bake a gay cake be called pieces of shit who should do better. And I think that’s just called social consequences.
Yes, very black and white.
Now, is Russia the first or the second guy? China? NK?
The first guy is Russia (the bad one), the second guy is also Russia (the good one), and the third guy is China.
I don’t think any of those are the first guy and I’m pretty damn sure they’re not the second.
