    Saying words like that on some platforms makes the algorithm that distribute content distribute it less. People will also talk about the censor in the comments creating more engagement and so the algorithm will promote further. It has absolutely nothing to do with being kind and respectful to people who might be triggered and is infact exploiting their negative reaction to generate fake internet points

    My crackpot theory anyway
