is the censoring of "kill" part of the meme? don't worry, lemmy isn't twitch or youtube or american tv or whatever where everything is magically made family friendly by bleeping things out.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's mildly annoyed by needless censorship
Seems like they took this meme, censored it, and shared it here? https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/34854572
american tv
I'm not Murikan, but I think kill is ok, it's the nipples that lewd that nation.
Make love, marry, unalive
This community is on Lemmy.world though
I don't think there's any rule that says you can't mention the word "kill" in a meme like this. There's no way to interpret it as a call of violence.
True, but Lemmy world is acting a bit like the other services mentioned above.
Maybe they are scared that the Vatican will send them to El Salvador for their thought crimes? Or worse.... send a priest to rape him.
dont worry, no platform requires you to censor "kill", but everyone for some reason does it anyway
Seen tjhat before without censoring. Thanks for your effort to post and so, but fuck that shit.
... ok, but y'all would also complain if he would have killed the couch & fucked the Pope, so ...
You are doing the lord's work 🙇
Needlessly censoring memes? Nah
