Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.

    I have been watching Rick and Morty lately and every now and then I have to change the site to find a version of the episode I’m watching where swear words aren’t censored. Like, it’s a show made for adults full of violent and sexual themes, so I think that most viewers have heard the word “fuck” before. I hate it so much when people censor “bad words”, even though nothing prevents them from saying them.

      One show where removing the censor was a detriment: Metalocalypse. They used a guitar sound on our first few seasons, and replacing that with the actual a wear words was just… less funny? I’ve never felt that way about a show before, or since.
