      You can actually say “ass” here, btw.

      Fuckin’ mainstream social media-ass comment.

        “ahh” has a better ring to it than “ass”

          I’m not going to downvote you for this, because you’re allowed to think that, but I want you to know that I want to because you’re wrong. Lol

        Yeah but saying ahh is funny

        Ass is just crass (also, this has the same energy as redditors who complain about emojis)

          I mean, if the specific word you want to use seems to be an inappropriate tone, maybe find a different way to say what you’re trying to say instead of injecting a filter-bypass replacement for the same word you didn’t feel was an appropriate tone?

          Betterhelp-coded therapist

          Sounds like Betterhelp’s caliber of therapists

          Lemme guess, this “therapist” was via Betterhelp

          For a couple of examples

          Edit: I see you didn’t post the original comment. Oops!

        I read it as “better help uhh therapist” because of the stupid ass self censorship. I’m not blaming the user for doing it, just annoyed for natural real world language getting hamstrung to satisfy advertisers. How long until “tisk tisk tisk! You can’t say ‘ahh’, that’s a naughty word!”?

          That’s really, genuinely never made sense to me. If I’m going to say “freaking cold” it has the exact same meaning as “fucking cold”. So what’s the difference? Yet one is acceptable and one is, *clutches pearls*, a bad word. :O
