why are kill and violence censored?
My mum might see it and take away my Xbox.
understandable, have a nice day 🫂
What the frick?!
It’s a thing that has started to appear because of mainstream social media deleting post with “bad vibes”. Kill, suicide, and such vocabulary are actively repressed to “ensure happiness”
That makes sense. Avoiding censorship is reasonable. I was thinking some people did it to avoid triggers, as if seeing ‘r*pe’ or ‘k!ll’ isn’t the exact same thing as seeing the words spelled out.
Yeah that would be a pretty poor trigger warning.
It’s more of a demonetization thing. I see it all over the YouTube videos of homicide investigation police interviews, which makes no sense.
bruh was planning on posting this on roblox or some shit
I litterally frowned at that
Solved simply by treating tolerance as a social contract instead of an absolute moral doctrine.
Break the contract, lose the protections.
Well put.
It really is just as simple as “don’t do mental gymnastics”, there’s only a paradox here if you make one
Human rights should always be universal and immutable, we can’t go around deciding who does or doesn’t have basic human rights. Antifa has to be the better people because unfortunately we have to be the adults in the room and show the children what it means to be a decent human being. But, having your human rights respected doesn’t mean that you’re immune to the consequences of your actions like getting the shit kicked out of you for being a Nazi prick, or getting locked up in prison for the rest of your life.
The paradox of tolerance can only apply to actions though, otherwise you just become the intolerant one that should be ostracized.
We have to be tolerant to the intolerant, otherwise, who defines what tolerance is?
No we don’t. Fuck the intolerant
Tolerating the intolerant is the price we have to pay to live in a just society.

You really should read the article that [email protected] posted (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance#:~:text=The%20paradox%20of%20tolerance%20states,or%20destroyed%20by%20the%20intolerant.)
The TL;DR is that in order to create a tolerant society, ironically, the only thing that cannot be tolerated is intolerance. The paradox comes from the idea that if intolerance is tolerated and allowed to gain any kind of a foothold then the society is no longer tolerant, but if we stamp it out and nip it at the bud then that’s also intolerant.
However, the paradox obviously has one preferred outcome which is that intolerance of intolerance is the only way to maintain a (mostly) tolerant society. The other option is letting the Nazis win.
Is this… is this satire?
It’s blatant troll bait is what it is.
Why don’t mods delete this stuff?
And again, that’s enough internet for today. I’ll see you tomorrow, with hopefully better content
Why is the meme censored?
Yes, very black and white.
Now, is Russia the first or the second guy? China? NK?
The first guy is Russia (the bad one), the second guy is also Russia (the good one), and the third guy is China.
Lot of enlightened centrists showing up to comment on this like
Yes, officer, this comment right here.
The real version is the first guy says he won’t bake a cake for a gay couple, which is shitty, but his right. Then the second guy comes along and says he wants to kill the first guy because nazis also wouldn’t bake cakes for gay people, so the first guy must also be a nazi, and nazis all deserve to die, so this guy does too.
Then a rational person comes along and points out that both of them are being shitty and everyone loses their goddamned mind over it.
I guess the weird censorship shows that op or whoever the hell made this are litteral children.
It’s to get around auto-censorship on social media sites.
What are these awful web sites?
TikTok.
But this is Lemmy so why are they still posting them?
It’s called a repost. People are allowed to repost stuff they find on other sites.
Doesn’t mean they should repost censored content. Respect that this is a different, freer format and go find the uncensored version.
Such a version may not exist if the meme was originally posted to Facebook.
Make your own. Become god.
Good thing you censored those naughty words, everyone on the internet are children and it’s not appropriate for them to know such no-no words.
I’m glad no child knows the word “kill”. Phew.

People don’t have a problem with tankies because they want to use violence against fascists. Violence against fascists is fine.
People dislike tankies because they’re reactionary assholes. They dislike them for cheer-leading unjustifiable abuses and failures because they believe we’re in some zero-sum game that excuses it. Because they’re extremists, oppressive authoritarians, and want to use violence against all of their ideological enemies, including the “wrong kinds” of communist.
The good things they believe in and do aren’t what people have an issue with: it’s the inexcusably bad parts of their ideology people don’t like, and the fact they’re obnoxious about it.
Its not even their ideology, its the fact they defend murderous tyranical regimes and try to be apologetic, defensive or straight up deny that shit.
