Modern corporate internet speak is censored speech. Can’t upset advertisers. The worst thing about it is that people are starting to do it on their own unprompted, being good conditioned consumers.
If this is actually a thing (and noone has proven it is) then there is no fucking way that the same penalties don’t apply to “censored” content like this.
It’s for appeasing advertisers. People assume their posts are being disadvantaged by the algorithms on social media, and in consequence fewer people will see the posts and engage with them. The algorithms eventually do what ad companies want from them.
It’s a trick to drive engagement. Posts with a tame word like this censored gets posts from people who object to or are confused by the censorship. Then others start responding saying that the censorship makes sense or doesn’t undermine the basic point of the post. It doesn’t really matter on a site like lemmy, but on a Meta platform it increases clicks and therefore income.
probably harvested from reddit and repost here. which is fine, I do that myself for some comms sometimes, but inevitably it will get comments like yours
What the fuck is it with the censoring of words in these images? Can’t “vagina” be said anymore?
Vagina.
But it looks like she’s showing her vulva
Edit to add, I just noticed how tiny her feet are
Glad someone corrected this pet peeve
I think her toes are covered by the caps of her sandals.
Even so, her palm is about as wide as her foot long, it’s probably 10cm heel to toe

Yep, I hate it.
The word itself makes some men uncomfortable.
It’s supposed to be vulva anyways.
Could also be labia.
Vulva denotes the entirety of external female genitalia, this includes the labiae.

Best part is this demon wouldn’t even be setting her vagina. He would be seeing her vulva
