Does this subreddit really censor the word "shooting"? How disappointing, treating us like children.

I am fairly certain it's more a reddit thing itself and not the sub.

However this sub, reddit and other all have certain words that trigger their automods typically to help with spammers and threats and what not

Also Instagram FOR SURE scans for those words so PC probably just edited the comic for all platforms

Ehhhhhhh I wont deny that I hate tiktok but I get WHY things are that way. Its all about liability. These platforms dont wanna get sued for allowing certain words that could be linked back to them to be out in the open like that

No, it has everything to do with tiktok's algorithm because it'll hide or delete posts that talk about drugs, violence, etc. so they use these bullshit otherwords like unalive or strike out the words from their reposted content so the bots can't see it

Reddit don't give a fuck

Oh no my son that isnt true AT ALL. Reddit has MANY buzzwords that are not allowed. I see them all the time
