  • Local superhero mitigates critical trauma risk by replacing "a" with "@". I'm hearing reports that the statue-building is currently underway

    Excuse me, a st@tue fell on my great, great grandfather who I never met. Please watch your language.

    “St@ue” would’ve also been an acceptable answer.

    So you are saying i can complain about how s& is coarse & rough & irratating & gets everywhere.

    precisely. God i h@e s&

    Omg I can't believe you didn't censor l@ngu@ge!

  • it's a triggering and offensive word

    So instead of typing it normally, where it's just another word in a sentence they replace a letter with an @ so it not only draws attention to the word, it also makes anyone who has a word filtering browser extension (as in someone who would actually be triggered or offended) see it.

    Imagine if we did that with every traumatic word bruh. abus3, bully1ing, k1ll, d3pr3ss1on, etc. It just seems like it's ironically trivializing the actual issues that are complicated with said act, and as you said, doesn't even work.

    You you seen YouTube lately? This is what they do. It's insane.

    The most egregious though is boredpanda articles. They do it on their own website, so they can't blame algorithms of social media.

    I think youtubers are excused because demonetization genuinely sucks
