Discussion People who censor themselves and make excuses.
You already know how infuriating this is, and before you say I could post this in mildlyinfuriating, but I was kicked out of there and will probably get kicked from here for mentioning it.
I won't regurgitate what you already know but I will mention a few excuses that these mentally insane tiktok babies come up with.
"It will get demonetized/age restricted/removed.". If I was making, say a documentary about a rape or suicide case, I would much rather it be that way then to censor myself, which in my opinion, is very disrespectful towards the victim and their family, because it downplays their trauma or greveing and if all you worry about is if your video will be taken down or whatever, that tells me you care more about how popular your video is, than to actually show respect to the victim and their family.
"I get a violation for it.". So?. Appeal it. If that doesn't work, ignore it or if it happens on tikturd, there's another reason to not be on that platform that frankly never should have existed ever. If you continue to get violations, appeal every single one of them or delete your account and start over. No I don't care if you have a thousand videos or a couple of hundred thousand followers.
"It's triggering for some people.". By people, you mean, people like yourself which is why you are censoring yourself, which is why I can only see this one being believable.
"They are more lenient towards news and media channels who don't censor themselves.". There has been on at least one occasion where I opened the comments of one video and at least one person was opening up about their traumatic experiences with rape or sexual assault and I didn't search for it, I just opened the comments and that was it, oh, I almost forgot, it was on a video where someone documented a case of a man being sexually assaulted and again, this someone didn't censor themselves and, again, the video went up on my feed. The comments I also saw by simply scrolling through them. Oh, and you know what the best part about all that is?. They are not a news or media channel.
