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.

    Why can’t it be normal for everyone just to use the correct words (to me it feels like it’d be kinda insulting to substitute a word like rape because it feels like then you’re putting the platform above the very serious topic), then people be able to set up their own filters to filter out words like rape if they don’t want to see them.
