You’re saying it again, “oh no we must ban bad words!!”.
Do you think hyper violent language does not fall under bad behaviour if it isn’t a transcript for example? Should hyper violent language be banned so that you can’t talk about it?
No, the nuance is that I think that in the current state of social media, as shitty as it is, a blanket unbanning of bad words would be a net negative.
I do not think that bad words should be banned generally. In quotes/transcripts etc it should be fine.
I know they currently aren’t and I agree that’s a problem.
Also, of course, in small, self-moderated communities bad words are fine if everyone there is ok with that.
But OP isn’t arguing for that. They just argued that we should blindly add hyper-violent language (back) to the systems we currently have. And not only regarding transcriptions/etc. And I think that will lead to a way worse outcome that the current status quo.
Again, I do not think bad words in a transcription/quoting/discussing should be banned because that’s ridiculous. But, on large social media platforms, they should stay banned when being directed at individuals, because yes, calling Elon an asshole to his face is carthatic, but you are buying that freedom with the price of bigots calling everyone slurs. And I simply don’t think that’s worth it, nothing more.
The issues we face with capitalized social media can only be solved by forming smaller circles again.
Not by adding slurs into the mix and hoping they will only benefit you and won’t make the place a miserable hellhole.

You’re just digging in.
