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.
I’ve been raped and it’s hard to have honest conversations now days because of this superficial escapism. It’s definitely not an easy subject to discuss but hearing people say shit like “They’ve been graped” or “r@ped” seems to cheapen the gravity of the word and the experience. It’s a word and topic that should make people uneasy and uncomfortable. On the same token people should be mature enough to see and hear these things or mature enough to leave, move on or skip it if they aren’t able to handle it.

This is the root of why words get censored. Not because it’s triggering to those who have experienced real harm, but because it makes other people uncomfortable and it gives them a way to pretend like they care.
Edit: and to have some level of power by policing others.
We are censoring that might make somebody uncomfortable now? What about satanism, war, murder, hell, bleeding, communism … I am sure these words make some people uncomfortable. Should they be censored too? What a nonsense!
