Self-censoring swearing and serious topics will never not be ridiculous to me. I especially dislike the trend if censoring them by replacing letters with numbers/symbols, because I don’t see that well…
I’m fine with self-censorship so long as it’s also self-aware and funny, llike that D&D group on youtube where they replace penis with “schmenis”, that outright elevates things.
Ideally take the opportunity to be creative with euphemisms, blur the line between censorship and art.

I loved how Blade Trinity at least recognized the absurdity (for TV channels that required censorship)…

This is also exactly why I was never interested in places like TikTok even befitting they bent the knee to the US, not gonna lie.
