Iv seen posts with people substituting rape with r@pe. Other than bypassing filters I can’t see a reason to censor just 1 letter that doesn’t actually censor the word? I see if you fully censor the word, but even still context completely ruins the censorship.

    Isn’t that because of tiktok* and stuff. Like unalive?

      That’s what I would think but how do you tiptoe in context of really intense issues like suicide, rape, abuse? If you reference it I feel like it would trigger any bad emotions just on the topic not the specific word

        I thought it was just about not triggering a word filter

          I think that’s what is happening. It’s to prevent the algorithms from hiding away their post due to controversial topics.

            There’s no way any modern word filter doesn’t have a common symbol substitution list

        If tiktok has banned those words, then maybe tiktok is not the right forum for the topic?
