abnormal asked in PetsDogs · 1 decade ago

why can't I say "*****" in the dog section?

*****, being a technical term amongst dog breeders, should not be filtered. What If I need to say *****? I notice that I can say "bitches" but I can't say *****. I shouldn't be forced to always use the plural form of "*****" whenever I need to say "*****" even when i'm only referring to a singular *****.

    It is because some overly sensitive people with no real right to an opinion may get offended....

    because i would be difficult for YA to filter when a user is using ***** as a diragatory term or in it's proper use. however i do agree that in a perfect world where everything is possible this should be the case.

    because this program sucks a lot and this message will probably be deleted but somebodys gotta fight the censorship.

    anyway, just use it with a sign instead of a letter. It's that easy.

    Just put an asterisk (*) in place of the "i", so it reads "b*tch".
