why are words like Rape and fuck only censored with one letter being omitted? - eviltoast

Iv seen posts with people substituting rape with r@pe. Other than bypassing filters I can’t see a reason to censor just 1 letter that doesn’t actually censor the word? I see if you fully censor the word, but even still context completely ruins the censorship.

    Makes sense, figured it was filter dodging. The fact it’s has made its way outside of those places is slightly annoying
