It's a thing that has started to appear because of mainstream social media deleting post with "bad vibes". Kill, suicide, and such vocabulary are actively repressed to "ensure happiness"
That makes sense. Avoiding censorship is reasonable. I was thinking some people did it to avoid triggers, as if seeing 'r*pe' or 'k!ll' isn't the exact same thing as seeing the words spelled out.
It's more of a demonetization thing. I see it all over the YouTube videos of homicide investigation police interviews, which makes no sense.
Yeah that would be a pretty poor trigger warning.
bruh was planning on posting this on roblox or some shit
I don't know, but watch out for anybody wearing a red asterisk.

Why is the meme censored?
~~People don't have a problem with tankies because they want to use violence against fascists. Violence against fascists is fine.~~
~~People dislike tankies because they're reactionary assholes. They dislike them for cheer-leading unjustifiable abuses and failures because they believe we're in some zero-sum game that excuses it. Because they're extremists, oppressive authoritarians, and want to use violence against all of their ideological enemies, including the "wrong kinds" of communist.~~
~~The good things they believe in and do aren't what people have an issue with: it's the inexcusably bad parts of their ideology people don't like, and the fact they're obnoxious about it.~~
Edit: I stand by what I said, but apparently its easier to recognize flags when you expand the image ... and my rant had nothing to do with the post.
The real version is the first guy says he won't bake a cake for a gay couple, which is shitty, but his right. Then the second guy comes along and says he wants to kill the first guy because nazis also wouldn't bake cakes for gay people, so the first guy must also be a nazi, and nazis all deserve to die, so this guy does too.
Then a rational person comes along and points out that both of them are being shitty and everyone loses their goddamned mind over it.
I dunno about you, my dude, but the only people I've seen fucked up by antifascists were not saying that they didn't want to bake a gay cake.
But I've seen the people who didn't want to bake a gay cake be called pieces of shit who should do better. And I think that's just called social consequences.
I'm no historian, but I have a feeling there isn't a lot of scholarship on Nazi bakers.
And again, that’s enough internet for today. I’ll see you tomorrow, with hopefully better content
Yes, very black and white.
Now, is Russia the first or the second guy? China? NK?
Man, the Diaspora project has really gone to a weird place.
