I think the ‘problem’ the meme is referencing is supporting centralized social media run by corporations. I think the ‘problem’ you are talking about is more along the lines of tech addiction. Something can fix one problem without fixing every problem.

Damn, I just shaved my legs for the first time because I thought it would be fun (It definitely is interesting) like a week ago and missed the opportunity to do something like this for a laugh.

Hatsune Miku

Neco-Arc who is a character in a few Type Moon games in the Tsukihime universe.

Neco-Arc is a tiny gremlin catgirl version of one of the main cast Arcueid Brunestud who only shows up in what are essentially ‘hint’ scenes after the player has fucked up and needs to retry in order to progress the story.

IMO it would make sense if their professor knew Neco-Arc and wasn’t just accidentally using a meme character, because Tsukihime is an adult visiual novel (There’s really not a lot of sex in the main story, call it 30 minutes out of a 12 hour visual novel, and the remake removes it entirely if it’s not your thing) that came out in 2000.

If you’re at all into visual novels, I highly recommend it, the story is good (even the side characters stories) and its one of the few VNs where I finished it and didn’t despise the main character for being a complete idiot.

Oh and for what the joke is? Uhh she’s kinda a meme on her own, and an annoying moron.

Edit : Actually as another commenter pointed out, it’s a Neco-Arc version of Astolfo who is from the Fate VN series by the same devs. I haven’t read Fate yet (it is on my list though) so I can’t really say more about them.

ちがう - Isn’t it? / Wasn’t it?

I like your comment and I want to posit this.

If you want to swear then swear. Cool, I agree with this as it’s following a simple ‘Do what you want’ kinda thing.

If you don’t want to swear, don’t swear. Again sweet, do what you want.

But what if I want to swear, but I want to censor the swear word, even superficially (replace a vowel with something else, leaving the swear entirely readable where everyone can easily tell what swear is being used)? This is where I’m seeing a ton of people suddenly not as okay with people doing what they want, and that’s what I was trying to get at with this comment chain. Why are people so upset at people censoring themselves in this way?

And I’m not even suggesting that I do this all the time, just in some cases where I specifically want to swear, but softer. Like when I’m trying to make it abundantly clear that I’m not swearing at someone, I’m just swearing in general.

I really hope this doesn’t come across as confrontational and I appreciate that you took the time to reply. This just really feels like something that harms no one but for some reason makes a lot of people mad.

I just feel like people can choose for themselves. As another commenter said it takes a lot of the ‘oomph’ out of the swear which I believe does have a time and place. But many people seem to be over the top ofended if you choose to do so.

I’m certainly not suggesting that ‘everyone needs to censor their swears, think of the women and children!’ But lemmy seems to get more angry than I would consider reasonable if someone does censor themselves.

Best anti-censor swears argument I keep seeing is that people are doing it to be more advertiser friendly which is making the internet worse overall, and I whole heartedly agree with that, but sometimes with no other motive than I would prefer it, I like to say fxck instead of fuck.

We’ve gone all the way around so now censoring a swear makes people more upset than actually saying it and I really don’t understand why.

Year 2000

Say ‘fuck’

People get irrationally mad

Year 2024

Say ‘fxck’

People get irrationally mad

What happened?
