You Know, I Find It Odd That People On TikTok Use That Censored Language As Much As They Do.

You know, I find it odd that people on TikTok use that censored language as much as they do.

Personally, when I comment, I can say things like "sex"/"sexuality," "porn," "kill," "rape," etc just fine and still get the usual amount of engagement/not receive any type of warning. Sure, the censorship is there based on the hidden comments feature, but it's flaky at best, ( and really odd cuz I've seen comments like "Hot" be censored, ) so the prominent word censorship culture on there is just really useless half of the time.

I've also seen this one specific creator reading the takes of pro-lifers, and she doesn't censor the words used either. I see her content just fine, even if she says shit like "rape"/"raped" multiple times. Not sure if her engagement takes a hit for it or if she gets warnings, but the content is still viewable to me, and I've seen her multiple times on my FYP ( as recent as just a day or so ago. ) Though do note that censorship is a lot harsher on creators from what I've seen, so I can give them leeway in some cases.

I guess it's a linguistic thing where a word over time changes meaning due to the original one being "bad," so people find a "less bad" word to replace it with until that new word also becomes "bad." But either way, it's annoying as fuck and pretty much pointless.

Just saw a person in a TikTok comment section with all the "proship" emoji combos. People were saying to check the person's search history and hard drive, but in the same comment section replies the person said they only use all the combos to mock proshippers.

Idk I just find it kinda comical that antis didn't even stop to think "hey, maybe this person using 6+ proship emoji combos in their username is trolling" which ended up with the emoji combo person being harrassed by, like, 10+ people if not more.

I just want to say thanks for your blog! It's not usual to find stuff like this!

It's no problem, really! I mean, I literally just like to yap for most of my post, sometimes partake in the selfship stuff by either reblogging posts or making my own imagines, and also like to keep the balance between discourse talk and positivity/acceptance.

Like, personally if I partake in too much discourse, then my mental health start to decline, even if I only stay on the proship side of things. That's kind of why I tend to reblog/post positivity, too, every now and then.

Though I do wonder what you mean with "not usual to find stuff like this," since from what I've seen there's a good handful of blogs like mine. Idk maybe I'm wrong lmao.

My best guess is that you're referring to the proship/pro-kink/pro-para positivity and/or the fact my blog is selfship and proship at the same time, since those are decently rare I think? Idk feel free to elaborate/correct me or not, anon.

Update on this: I'd commented on a TikTok just yesterday where the creator was talking about how censoring on TikTok is stupid, and how it waters down the situations that are actually going on.

The comment I left on the TikTok featured words such as kill, rape, and porn without any censoring, and I have yet to receive any warnings about it.

Maybe it has something to do with the app picking up on the words used in certain contexts ( fx. threats, ) but you can certainly say them in some cases either way.

I was rereading my previous post about the TikTok censorship culture/thing, and it made me wonder what part of it isn't actually censorship, but in reality the algorithm doing it's thing.

I mean, it's already known how flaky and unreliable the TikTok censoring is at times, and also known that the algorithm on TikTok can get really specific, too.

So if that's the case, who's to say that the censoring "trend" isn't just people engaging more with the censored content, which then pushes more censored content to those people?

Who's to say that it isn't because they use those censored words in comments/videos, which is then picked up on by the app, and then has the algorithm show more content using that language to them?

Watch time could also be a factor since TikTok also picks up on that. So if a word like "rape" makes a person uncomfortable and scroll as a result, then that could also affect it in one way or another.

I don't know lmao maybe I'm just reaching, or this is a really obvious thing I'm realizing only now.

I just found out that I ( most likely ) have an allergy for grapes, which I think is gonna be really kinda funny if an anti tells me they wish I'll be "graped."

So, let me get this right:

Being attracted to fictional serial murderers is okay,

Being attracted to fictional terrorists is okay,

Being attracted to fictional monsters is okay,

But being attracted to fictional children is wrong?

Hm, noted.
