As a way to show off the capability of ligatures, more power to them. As an effort to censor, why in the ever loving fuck nuggets would you ever actually do that? I have young kids and a large family. We all curse periodically. Instead of telling the kids that these are bad words, we told them they are adult words. As in, when you are old enough you can curse all you want, but as a kid you can’t. We felt that this wa…

I had known few kids who didn't know what swearing was and they never did anything similar to swearing. Is there value in swearing? If not, what's the argument for letting kids learn about it?
It's an interesting thought. Would limiting the vocabulary lead to people expressing less.
Is there any controlled experiment on similar? Can this affect complex thoughts or they can still be conveyed?

Inspired by you, I grepped my system words file in search of words containing fuck. What I didn't expect is Apple's /usr/share/dict/words comes pre-censored. > grep fuck /usr/share/dict/words > grep '^shit$' /usr/share/dict/words > grep '^dick$' /usr/share/dict/words dick > grep '^cunt$' /usr/share/dict/words > grep '^bitch$' /usr/share/dict/words bitch Wow.

> (This comment doesn't reflect well on me. Fortunately, this is a pseudonymous account.) If anyone thinks less of you because you simply know five swearwords, it's pretty much their problem.
If I remember correctly, it included a twitter account that was not obviously linked to the persons name.
There was an entry for every (re-)tweet that contained swearing, associated with a negative score.
Also, if you're swearing on public platforms, you almost never know if/how the platform itself may react. Maybe it affects the likelyhood of your contribution(s) being shown to others.

Much like funny film clips where people bleep innocuous phrases to make them sound sweary. That's the joke, see?

I can't find it now, but there was a post on HN where someone shared a report regarding their social media activity. It was compiled by a firm that offers to "research" potential employees. If I remember correctly, it included a twitter account that was not obviously linked to the persons name. There was an entry for every (re-)tweet that contained swearing, associated with a negative score. Also, if you're swearing…
In that regard, adding more motherfucking swearwords in my bullshit comments serves as a great fucking way to deter any asshole cunt that thinks such metrics are a good goddamn idea. Dick pussy ass.
There is a video [0] about this censoring-"problem" by Youtuber Tom Scott. He talks about how it's impossible to implement with all edge-cases, easy to circumvent and thus usually not a good idea. Fittingly, the video is filmed in Peniston. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcZdwX4noCE
All these large companies Riot, Blizzard, Valve, etc implement censoring tools. People just swear over voice or add random characters to swear words or swear in different languages.
It really doesn't matter what they do, people will still swear.

While I am not for any kind of censorship, if someone doesn't know swear words, would they be able to use them? Is swearing orthogonal to human nature? I had known few kids who didn't know what swearing was and they never did anything similar to swearing. Is there value in swearing? If not, what's the argument for letting kids learn about it? It's an interesting thought. Would limiting the vocabulary lead to people e…
I love this. I particularly like that arsenal is censored to a___nal.
