I like the profanity, only some Christian Conservative from the 1980's would argue against it

Can't say fuck, but totally okay to see someone's brains bashed out! It's so idiotic and illogical...

Even worse than that is acceptance of "freaking" in place of "fucking". The words are internalized inside the brain to have the same exact meaning in this context, it's just they take offense to certain arrangements of consonants andd vowel combinations to deliver the same message. It's like they think their god is stupid enough to fall for a semantical trick.

To be fair, both Christians and their God are fucking pants on head retarded

Pants on head removed? I'm not sure what removed means here?

Sorry autocorrect got me

Meant to say pants on head retarded

Either auto correct failed you again or there's a profanity filter on lemmy that I wasn't aware of

Are there per-instance filters? I'm seeing what was intended.

Yeah, lemmy.ml admins are removed.

I was using lemmy.ml because the other instances I was using was constantly down but if there's a global swear filter like that I'll have to start using another instance. This is ridiculous. Even reddit didn't do that.

This is one of my favorite fallacies to call them out on...it wasn't god who made man in his image...man made god in man's image...and therefore their god suffers from all the same flaws that man suffers from, which are vast.

Yeah I know, they love gore and violence but the second they see a nipple it's like we're back in Puritan New England or something

You could use the same technology to add extra profanities into the dialogue as well.

Charlton Heston in the 10 Commandments, except everyone's swearing like a sailor the whole time.

Yeah, to be honest I'm a bit worried studios might use this technology to start changing lines in already released movies, so subtly only film buffs who know the film line-for-line would ever notice.

Even done for well-intentioned reasons (like removing slurs from old-timey movies) it would open up a whole moral and ethical can of worms about whitewashing the past. And I have zero faith in studios to do it for well-intentioned reasons-- especially not when they're under pressure by religious fanatics, authoritarian governments, etc.

Same thing for books, and once they’re all digital, it will be far worse..

The only good use for blockchain I’ve heard of is publishing important works to it, so there is an immutable record.
