why are kill and violence censored?

[–] Hazrod@jlai.lu 73 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.
