"Oh no, a bad word!
Better cross it out so no-one thinks I'm using bad words.
But not all the way, so everyone still knows what the bad word is but also recognises my attempt to save them from seeing a bad word!
I'm such a good person (but also cool ๐)!"
Apparently the reason people started doing this was because the algorithms would recognize the word and demote them on other sites, but a simple strike through or messy crossout would not get the same treatment. If it's dumb but it works, it's not dumb?
Learn algospeek is humans already getting twisted by pretzels.
That said we should have a better way to deal with racial slurs than ostracization.
Because I might have never died before but I used to be a kid and we loved all the no no words. That means probably todays kids are hyperaware of them and I can't think of a better way to perpetuate racist thoughts than to teach their words to all the kids via reverse psychology.
Guess what I'm saying is that I rather the kids learn slurs in a safe space than behind the neighbour's shed and come back preganement with brain racism !
