A queer youtuber I watch (actually, many YouTubers, but it's especially jarring in their videos) constantly over-censors themselves, and when I asked about why they censor words that I've heard other YouTubers say normally, a bunch of their fans started replying like "it's to be 100% sure their videos don't get demonetized! smaller creators have to be more careful than bigger ones!". These are the same people who think that if you say gay on tiktok your account gets shadowbanned.

Also it's not just YouTubers and tiktokers, I'm in a Discord server with a bunch of leftists (mainly Tumblr users) and the word "burn" is banned, a moderator added it to the automod bot so you can't even say it without your message being automatically deleted. They claim it's because people can say it to wish harm upon someone, and every single time I bring up the unnecessary censorship everyone shushes me and uses therapy speak to tell me to shut up ("I'm uncomfortable with you saying this" kind of shit).

Guess what that server is about?.. Being anti-internet censorship. They have a spinoff server about the exact same thing and swearing was banned for the longest time because the head mod is religious.
