why is the "Viole" in "Violence" crossed out?
I assume getting around TikTok and Meta algorithms that would automatically filter this image from public view.
Gotta make it safe and corpo friendly for the advertisers! 🙄
Imagine being a child and seeing the word violence or ass. I would kill myself
You would what yourself? Up 'til now you'd have been shielded from that scary word!
imagine it was really fine ass, and you never saw ass that fine again
I would literally shake
It probably just gets tagged as "spicy meme someone tried to censor", and still gets tracked and targeted the same way as the rest of the content. They know fully well what kind of post it is, a line is not going to break the algorithm
Engagement bait
Maybe to get past software that would screen out political violence posts? To be transparent, I didn't make the meme but the hypocrisy is worth pointing out.
Are you ok, though? Is someone threatening you if you don't post nonsensical memes to Lemmy? Should we call the police?
You should have removed it. It's being done as engagement bait a LOT, same with misspelling words. Just the fact that it can be that should be enough to either not share anything that has it or to take a few seconds to edit it out.

They're not a fan of Tower of God and hate any reference to Ju Viole Grace.
Engagement bait to increase comments, this getting an algorithm boost. Report and move on.
You'll be happy to know that comments don't matter to the Lemmy algorithm.

The ranking is basically (upvotes-downvotes)/time. I don't know whether this is intended as "engagement bait", but it doesn't work.
You mean to prevent algorithmic censorship on other platforms where this may be crossposted.
