I'm not a bot, I just didn't know if the people here liked bad words or not. It's just a nice middle ground I think. If you still don't think it's an original, I think I can send you the .xcf file, I just don't remember if I deleted it or not

If you're not sure, you can make a meme that doesn't use them. If you think swear words are needed to emphasize your point, blurring them afterwards literally destroys your own point
Maybe it is, I don't know. These distorted standards from the mainstream websites, and wierd social etiquettes have made thinking and writing my own toughts feel wierd, I'm literally censoring myself. What an interesting world we live in.
Yeah, can relate to that
I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like 'unalive'.
Language naturally evolves over time but I really don't like the idea that it's being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!
you can in fact swear on the internet, and we still know what the words are
Hey, we need some more positivity here IMHO. Thanks for contributing even if censored bugs some people. I thought the meme was funny and it made my yesterday better in a small way.
