    I mean, you still “cussed”. Switching two letters around doesn’t change the meaning and the original word doesn’t hold any special powers.

    I agree it’s not much to make a reply about.

    I think the attitude stems from the view that using placeholder words for swear words is often associated with religious/puritanical attitudes since there’s not really a reason to do it so the user reacts as they would to puritanical people invading their community i.e. hostile.

    I think that’s not as true today but that’s where the backlash comes from.

      You know, God forbid somebody uses voice dictation which bleeps it out or has to switch between work chats and social media.

      Fuck, Even if it is somebody puritanical quoting on something they’ve got 70 up votes and somebody else has to come in and bitch at them because they might have sellf censored a word.

      I think I’m just going to do the same rant every time someone plays that shit.
