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

That’s what I would think but how do you tiptoe in context of really intense issues like suicide, rape, abuse? If you reference it I feel like it would trigger any bad emotions just on the topic not the specific word
I thought it was just about not triggering a word filter
I think that's what is happening. It's to prevent the algorithms from hiding away their post due to controversial topics.
There's no way any modern word filter doesn't have a common symbol substitution list
If tiktok has banned those words, then maybe tiktok is not the right forum for the topic?
By tiptoe, they might mean tiktok?
Correct and I didn't even realize after reading their reply lol.
