Notice how neither the OP, nor anyone else asked for your unnecessary objection. So it's very much you forcing yourself and your unwanted opinions wherever you feel like.

You don't bring anything to the discussion on this forum. You instead change the topic to nitpick on someone's wording, completely disrespecting their argument.

I mention "today's society" because this push to force everyone to swear (or make them feel bad for not doing so) is a recent development I noticed on this platform in particular.

It's also ironic how you seemingly argue for freedom of expression, yet can't fathom that someone wants to use language in a way that differs from you.

I'd recommend working on your impulse control. Though it feels like you just like to hear yourself talk. Just let other people be.

Says the person who injected themself into the conversation over 24h later when everyone else had moved on ๐Ÿ™„

Again, my stance against self-censorship is well-funded and thoroughly explained. It's not just a completely subjective pet peeve of mine that I've decided to foist on anyone, much less nitpicking, try as you might to make it appear so.

As for "completely disrespecting their argument", not every argument deserves respect, and "I'm gonna mangle a perfectly good word due to the not at all certain possibility of external censorship" is barely a justification, much less a valid argument for the necessity of such a mangling.

Yeah, because saying that censorship getting in the way of free expression is bad is censorship! Give me a fucking break ๐Ÿคฆ

Again with the projection.

I'm not the one who inserted myself into a conversation that was already over. That was you.

I'm also not the one who has nothing to say except "I don't like your perspective" and I haven't tried to forbid anyone from anything. That's also you.

Doesn't it get exhausting in the long run to be such a tryhard hypocrite protector of the unvictimized?
