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).

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.
