    Why do people need to censor words? We know it means “shit.” We all saw the movie or understand what it implies.

    Stop. It’s idiotic.

      We know it means “shit”.

      Then why are you so bothered?

      No, seriously. I legitimately don’t get this complaint. It could have been censored for a whole host of reasons but they don’t matter. The facts are that, like you said, you know exactly what is being said. Why does a single letter being replaced bother you so much that you call it idiotic?

      Could have been made by someone who doesn’t like to swear. Could have been originally made to share in public areas where kids might be around. Could have been made by a kid. There could be a whole host of different reasons that it was censored. Do they seriously matter so little to you that you’re going to get angry over a letter being replaced with an asterisk? More over, why does your personal preference of no censoring get to take precedence?

      Just live and let live dude. Not everything is going to go your way. Not everything is going to be made how you want it. Spending time getting upset over a missing letter does literally nothing other than frustrate you. Doesn’t matter who says it, people aren’t going to stop censoring. Way easier to just shrug and move on than lashing out at a meme for not being written the way you’d prefer.

        I’m not the one who wrote a wall of text. Who’s truly bothered here?

        Anyway, your logic isn’t sound. They obviously find the use of the word funny. Do you think they cover their ears or blush? Doubtful.

          Who’s truly bothered here?

          You. People who are unbothered don’t respond to criticism by being dismissive and insulting. They actually engage with good faith and have a discussion.

          I dub thee bothered. Have fun with getting angry over memes.
