Because it causes you to think differently - i couldn’t care less about the corpos. It makes verbal dissent something to be ashamed of, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of here outside of not having an additional nickname to throw on the pile.
I’m ashamed :-(
Edit: No trap meant by me, and it wasn’t criticism of you in any way or form! I just hate how people nowadays are censuring themselves out of a misplaced feeling of shame.

I’m sorry, but do you really think shaming people for sharing memes that are censored is going to help?
I’m not trying to be annoying - but i also want to make it clear that self-censoring (or censoring of OOP by whoever took the screenshot in this case) is a really bad thing to take hold in society. Sure, i could just let it stand and ignore it. But the amount of pressure towards censoring speech that the big social media platforms police is something out of fucking 1984.
The amount of things i can accomplish in my surroundings is vanishingly small, but at least i can open my mouth when i see something like that to make sure others realize that this is not ok.

I just asked this is another comment, but do you really think that shaming others for sharing memes they’ve found already censored is going to help here?
Miisha didn’t censor the meme herself. She just didn’t edit it back. You could have edited it back in and shared instead of wagging your finger at her.
That’s why i critizised whoever took the screenshot and not Miisha, please read carefully. I never wanted to critizise Miisha in any way - the amount of great content coming in is staggering!
Yeah, I know, there are people who try to drag the people posting memes who had no hand in the act of removing “harmful language” into the discussion. That really wasn’t my intention, just wanted to make people realize that this was very superfluous especially in the context of the meme, and to raise a bit of awareness that they do not have to do this themselves here.
I love how free we can speak on this medium, and i wouldn’t trade it for any of the other corpo-platforms. We should never forget how great it is that we do not have to twist our words here to make sure our posts do not disappear in the digital void (as long as you are not somewhere in .ml territory at least).
Wanted to add that i am not offended by anything Miisha posts! Just wanted to make sure people realize that we do not have to play by corpo playbooks here, and that’s a great thing.
Nah, not just yet, I won’t get rid of a great source of humor for myself :3
Hands down, you have made me laugh more than anything else today. I find your immaturity hilarious. Congrats!
Personally I think it actually makes some posts, more funny. Like this one, I feel like showing it would take away from the impact of the word. Now it is kinda ironic even.
Thanks for giving us permission! /s
Seriously, why do people care so much? I just genuinely don’t understand…
I know I’m falling into a trap just by replying to this, but like come on.

same answer here: i shamed the person editing the screenshot, not Miisha.
They’re gonna come back and say some shit like we shouldn’t censor ourselves for corporate interests, but also who gives a fuck?
Never gonna hold it against someone if they don’t want to edit each and every meme before reposting.
Actual dumb take, seeing as people do actually give a fuck.
Lol as if they’re doing anything but being annoying on the internet.

She’s pretty great, I love having her perspective here.
Sorry to group you in with the other people being jerks about it. I do chuckle a little to see these same comments every time.

Self awareness needs to be taught in schools.
Indeed. You’re proving that with every additional comment you make 😂
Thought you were gonna block me?
You’re the one offended at seeing censored memes from Miisha. Block her yourself instead of making women do your work for you.
