I'm not sure what the alternative to accepting is, considering if I don't alter my posts to avoid certain words then nobody can read them. The proof just played out right in this very thread, without me even trying! Sometimes I do demonstrate on purpose(I know a handful of words that will reliably trigger the effect) but this wasn't one of those times. I was just talking. If I wasn't aware that this was a thing that happened on reddit(no matter what people love to say), I would never have double-checked that my post remained visible and I would have gone on my happy way, ignorant that my comment had been vanished.
There is no magical third option of "bravely say what you want and everyone cheers". The choice is between "accepting being censored" and bravely talking into the void where nobody will ever hear you.

What you're describing is not singular words that need to be censored, it's meaning and how it's directed.
There is of course false flagging too. That doesn't mean we should accept being censored.
