I only have one comment and it refers to the F-slur of gay men. There seems to be an extremely established fork whether that word is okay. On this sub, it's considered a slur. Unlike the n-word, not even the gay men use variants of it. Meanwhile, on imageboard communities including those dedicated to lgbt, it's used to the point of becoming a suffix to mean "that one in our site community that likes (topic/brand/object)" regardless of sexuality.

That's true, that pops up anytime you leave the mainstream internet. I see people calling themselves magafags even (Trump supporters.)

As for the censorship, I thought it was a sub rule. I see people who didn't delete a vowel who still have their posts up so maybe it's done by usage rather than discussing the terms.
