It’s not that I agree that such words should be censored. But I’m like whatever, I can still read the post. But then I go to the comments, and instead of useful comments there’s always people whining about the censored word. To me, that’s more annoying than the censorship itself. So I decided to ask why this is such a big deal, and I haven’t really gotten a sensible answer yet.
I mean, I’m glad you agree. As a community the only thing people can do is make posting censored content something taboo. Hopefully after enough of this people will get the hint. I mean, it’s working, if you’re annoyed by it then just engage with content that doesn’t have this unnecessary censorship and downvote and move on from posts that do. That way you’ll avoid people whining about censored words, there’s a whole genre of posts that have exactly none of that.
There’s plenty of reasons why in these posts. Hell, you ostensibly agree that these words shouldn’t be censored but you come to the posts and ask why it’s a big deal? The reaction isn’t too extreme, it’s simply the only thing to do if we want to keep the community clear of this without trying to get the mods to censor the post themselves or something. So it’s quite literally the least big deal to make while still trying to shape the community.
As I mentioned, the only reason to try to get these posts to stop is either you’re in favor of censorship or you’re in favor of maintaining the status quo in order to not see these comments, which is tacitly in favor of the censorship as that is the norm right now.

I’m in favour of just letting people post what they want to post with or without censorship
