    It’s not just Facebook. It’s fucking everywhere. I mentioned in a post comment that fag-got* is a food in the UK and it got auto censored. I had a post deleted for being “offensive” because I asked if the UK is the US of Europe. It was light hearted. Silly.

    But no, every fucker is determined to be offended by everything. It’s making commenting anything other than dry fact absolutely impossible. Sarcasm, banter, and even certain US-English words are outright banned even on non US sites and instances. Unalive, s*x, etc.

    The internet has become fucking brain dead. Everything’s covered in padding so children don’t get a boo boo from naughty words. I’ve seen commentators reprimanded for replying to a kid with a swear word! “They’re a minor, watch the language”. Utterly fucking pathetic.

    Where are the fucking adults? Or why are the adults so fucking precious? It wasn’t like this in 2010. People actually had skin.

    Which is ironic considering I’m gay and British so not only is fagot not offensive but “puff” is worse yet I don’t demand people censor the fucking word! Do British instances censor spastic and Paki as much as the internet as a whole censors equivalent US English words?! American brain rot.
