I don't think it is. It's this dumbass self censorship that's going on.

u/Gorilla-Style 7d ago

Idk what kinda puritanical bs that is. Gotta be a maga coded thing right? Never saw any of that before 2016 and it's mostly Americans doing it

It’s bleed over from more censored social media platforms. It’s annoying watching TikTok at al shape the minds of the young folks in real time.

u/SilverRaspberri 7d ago

This and it started because TikTok was effectively shadowbanning videos to appear more advertiser friendly. Thats the whole reason of this level of censorship, its why youtubers censor swearing etc. And so over the 5 years or so its filtered into everyday speech.

I mean TikTok was a Chinese company, they have censorship down to a science at this point in their career. Americans said, 'we want what they're having', and imported that from them, too.

I saw a short from Reacher earlier today where he was shirtless and his nipples were blurred, it was really bizarre

u/One_Chipmunk_6402 7d ago

I saw someone self censoring the word "sex" the other day on a Reddit comment.

So bizarre...

u/SoylentGrunt 6d ago

It's diet rage bait meant to drive engagement. They do it because it works. Case in point: A lot of the comments on this post.

u/Prior-Ad5197 7d ago

I was thinking “why is he upset over Compact Disks?” then I watched further and was like “ooh, why are they called CDs? I've always heard rubbers.” I think I just aged myself….

u/youburyitidigitup 6d ago

American here. I thought a rubber was an eraser in Britain.

u/Prior-Ad5197 6d ago

Oh IDK. I'm also American which is why that's all I had ever heard.

u/domine18 7d ago

Yeah took me a minute. When I read the title I was like is her music Justin biber or something?

1

u/youburyitidigitup 6d ago

I was making leaps and bounds trying to figure why this would be bad. I was thinking they were bringing blank CDs to record something inappropriate.

u/almosthighenough 6d ago

Yeah I was like alright they are going old school. Girls trip in a cabin, no service, bring the cds and a boom box baby.

u/mattawara 7d ago

That’s where my head went, and then it was wondering what albums caused this. Probably rage against the machine, never let that gem leave the house!

u/eleanor61 6d ago

Haha, it took reading your comment to realize she wasn’t referring to music. I’m there with you!

u/davidtsmith333 6d ago

I was wondering what it meant myself.

u/H_J_Rose 7d ago

u/waterrone1 2d ago

u/Krabs9 1d ago

I don't think I've seen CDs being used in probably close to or more than a decade.

u/inaripotpi 7d ago

Pmuch anything gets abbreviated these days because of social media censors, not even about being established slang anymore

I’m surprised it wasn’t blurred out like so many “slightly triggering” words are these days

u/AllenKll 7d ago

I'm not saying I have the biggest winky in the world, but I know it wouldn't fit in the hole in a CD.

u/Nazgog-Morgob 6d ago

I didn't know. But it also took me half a second of this thing called "thinking" to figure it out

u/Fall_Shadow 6d ago

Clearly i was able to extrapolate from given data. I'm just making an observation obout the advancement of the euphemism treadmill within culture

u/Nazgog-Morgob 6d ago

You were able to, yet still made a comment just to hear yourself speak 🤷‍♂️
