Heard this gotcha thousands of times. I do not personally use these words and haven’t for many years. Believe it or not they’re unnecessary. Furthermore, not all words have equal strength. The R slur is notoriously more extreme and just promotes more hatred. Not to mention since it is so powerful it is well known to be a trigger word for people suffering from PTSD. Censoring the word “fuck” is entirely different. This is about basic kindness and learning to be compassionate. Reflect on your privilege for not having to deal with everytime you see a certain slur on the internet that it reminds you of a terrible event in your life. Everyone is at different stages of their life and sometimes doing the best they can everyday to get to a point where a word doesn’t have the same power of them as it used to. And even then, for some, it never fully can deminish to be how unimpressive the word is to you.

Everyone who downvoted you here are the people actively ruining the internet.

Do you drop the hard r as well and celebrate it for doing the opposite of ruining the internet?

How big of a difference is the power draw?
