Does A Word Filter Restrict Your Freedom Of Speech?

'fanny' gets through because it means something different in the US.

 

They can't even spell colour lol! And where they've lost their pants it's not as big an issue

 

I always smile when I hear them say 'anesthesiologist' instead of anesthetist - 7 syllables rather than 4? Bless 'em.

 

Wow.

 

That's Muhammed under the censored block, they really did draw him and then censor it!

South Park already had done an episode with Muhammed a few years before in and no one cared where he was uncensored.


I adore South Park and being a die hard fan for 20 years has really shaped my POV. Although I may be more Cartman than I like to admit lol but then who isn't.

 

I voted ''no", because, if you can't understand the emphasis that use of filtered words add, even though they are filtered, you can go **** yourself.

 

Filtered words tend to make everyone PC. PC is for fools who want regime thinking or hive mind.

 

Here on PF, it's not just profanity that gets filtered out.

 

exactly. Yes its no coincidence the same people who love word filters have no problem wearing masks and clubbing people with bats if they dont like what they say. Its hilarious.

 

**** arse **** ***.

seems arse is ok.

 

I cant say Forrest Gum* without being infracted. Sad but True. Some people can say and post anything they want against Trump supporters though like call them idiots, imbeciles etc., Wonder how that works in the filters rules.

 

That's arse I would say **** but that's censored.

Oh **** I just said ****!

Still it appears I can say wank.

Which means I can at least say arse wank fanny bollock batter.

 

oh god my eyes....my parents never taught me how to handle swear words...i need the closest safe space!!!

 

I shat in it! It might not be as safe now

 

While I agree, and I think the concept of a word filter is stupid and unnecessary, it's existence doesn't constitute any limitations on my free speech... Because I can still tell folks to **** off if I want to, and they still understand exactly what that means.

If, on the other hand, the forum summarily deleted posts containing ''bad words", then you might have a free speech argument.

 

You mean I can say the N word


N-I-C-E

 

omg thankfully the filter worked and you said shat, otherwise I wouldnt be able to handle the actual word. I feel safe in moms basement

 

if you are going to fight PC, its an all or nothing fight. And PC is the cornerstone of the liberal agenda, not that they useit.

 

The Brits have words for normal items that may not pass, ******
The Brit slang word for smokes does not make it.

 

When I need a cigarette I will say I'm dying for a ***.

Also can I bum a *** is a popular uk phrase when requesting a cigarette from a friend.

I would imagine that has a different meaning in the USA lol.

 

First time I heard that term was from a woman who said she did not feel worth a damn until she had her f-a-g

 

Yes, it does.

I don't swear, but other people do, and I want to be able to quote them without getting censored.

***************** word filters.
