Makes me wonder if it was for engagement bait somewhere along the repost chain. I don't want to believe that somebody thinks "wicked" is worth censoring.
It's typically because the big social media sites will soft-censor your post, if it contains words that advertisers don't enjoy being displayed next to. Soft-censor, as in the algorithm will mysteriously not show your post to a whole lot of people. So, it's also hard to say, whether some advertising company genuinely thinks "wicked" is a double-plus ungood word, or if the social media operator blocked it out of caution, or if the person who shared this screenshot on another platform just censored it, because they couldn't be sure that it wouldn't get them soft-censored.
