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

EmperorGormet@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 53 points –

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.
