Is it just me, or are people becoming more prudish? (feddit.org)

Pornography restrictions being codified into law, adult art being restricted from most Lemmy instances, Tarot readers blotting out the nudity on their cards on Reddit.

I'm watching the Magicians, on Amazon, and I use subtitles. All the curse words are purposefully filled in with random letters, so as not to offend the reader.

What's up with all the prudishness? Can people knock it off, please?

People have vaginas. And titties. And dicks. And asses. They swear. They drink. They fuck. Why is this generation afraid of that? Acknowledging these things isn't going to increase your chances of being sexually violated. So, what's the deal?

Oh no. Who gives a sh**

Seems like you're making a big deal about nothing...

I've probably come more people whining about this and pretending like it's about government control or whatever, as people getting offended by swear words

It's just as bad, if not worse because you're trying to control freedom of speech. People can choose to censor if they wish.

You can choose to use an uncensored source

I'm not dictating terms. I'm asking a question.

No, you're telling people how they should communicate, because you're (ironically) getting offended that some people are self-censoring.. Hence the "Can people knock it off, please?". That sure sounds like an attack...

Just because a lot of us swear, doesn't mean we feel we have to write swear words everywhere where kids might be reading it.

And, what annoys me, is that, if you weren't the one who told me off long ago about this, then there is more than 1 person here who are basically trying belittle people who don't communicate in a way that they approve..

In another one of your posts, you're also attacking younger people who follow rules...
