They’re doing it for me. I thrive off of seeing people get irrational over things entirely inconsequential. It’s the ultimate bait, always gets people so f*cking mad in the comments.
Which ones?! Not once in my life have I ever been censored for using profanity on the internet. I’ve been banned for random death threats and inciting violent insurrection, sure- saying “butt”? Hell no. Shit, I get PMs asking me for more details when I mention my butt.
Well ain’t you just the most enlightened ‘lil woodchuck in the whole big wide forest! Go on lil’ woodchuck, tell them how foolish they’re being!
In the main, it’s not rage bait. It’s an overreaction to automatic content moderation that really does demand censorship of terms like ‘suicide’ and ‘pedophile’ or mention of violent topics.
Does this need to be carried out to the commonly seen extreme? No, and of course some people do it for the lulz. Does that mean it’s all just ragebait? Very much also no. It’s almost entirely people being stupid, and a small number leaning into the irritating meme. Expressing frustration with that isn’t a bad thing to do, especially if you ever want it to change, even if it might feed a small handful of offsite trolls.
THANK YOU
FUCK CENSORED SHIT
I don’t even know who the centering is even for, since we all know what it says.

Platforms with algorithms that will not let you post stuff with these words

Wait what’s censored? Is this that UK DNS shit again?
In the original post ‘butt’ and ‘sex’ are censored
And it works every time when you and others get all riled up about it. Just like they want you to be. It’s called rage bait.

That is an excellent example of ragebaiting.
