An appeal to social media users everywhere:
Just say the goddamn word you're trying to say. Whether it's "rape" or "suicide" or "pedophile".
The reason YouTubers avoid it is because they're poorly attempting filter evasion to keep the ad bucks rolling in.
You're not going to get penalized for saying the word "rape". You don't need to censor it as "r*pe".
In fact, it's worse that you do, because it will bypass people's mute lists. Use a content warning if you're worried about triggering anyone.
This is starting to become a pet peeve of mine.
