MODERATORS
Anyone think this is some independently verified fact?
THEY’RE CLAIMING THIS TO GET OUT OF PAYING ALL THE LAWSUITS they get because of all the r4pe & 4bus3 of little children
You can say rape and abuse
But me triggered from reading a word!
At that point avoiding using those words entirely seems like a better way. Could have just stopped at lawsuits. The rest is implied and considering the source most people are very aware.
It is a cowardly act to not use words when they are useable and applicable, especially when discussing heinous actions. To not is to brush such actions under the rug.
And plenty of people are cowards.
But then they wouldn't get to talk in 1337speak like a cool cyberpunk hacker.
Ah yes, all those cool hackers back from the faraway times of the early 2000's. I distinctly remember attempting to not use any letters at all, but throw the entire suite of symbols out there in hopes I was leet enough.
Just as they can choose not to. That's the beauty of free will.
