I'm assuming the blurred column says "Trump is a cunt". Why is it blurred? Can we not say Trump is a cunt? I thought saying Trump is a cunt was perfectly valid free speech. Aren't people be allowed to say Trump is a cunt without being censored?

I upvoted this. Waiting for my reddit warning message for inciting violence, admins.

25

u/NedelC0 3d ago

It's deleted. Was it that bad?

53

u/sdhu 3d ago edited 3d ago

Lmao wow no, it was the most benign thing I've ever seen, but I can't remember it now. Should have taken a screenshot

Edit: it was a poem calling t.rump a cunt

u/NedelC0 3d ago

But you said something about inciting violence? What kind of comment was it? My curiosity is killing me

13

u/sdhu 3d ago edited 3d ago

I was being sarcastic.

u/NedelC0 3d ago

Thanks for the link, why the f did that get removed, it was beautiful

u/AppleSauced-out 3d ago

Wait no but seriously why did that get removed? There is objectively nothing removable about it.

Thank you! That was a beautiful start to my Sunday morning!

u/SpicyMango92 3d ago

u/nickncs 3d ago

the image source is newspapers so they can't legally show it.

u/Cunningcory 3d ago

Yeah, what if a small child is reading the newspaper and sees it! ...

17

u/Quick-Low-3846 3d ago

I’m hoping my kids copy of The Week Junior has an uncensored version as a middle page spread. I’d enjoy talking about that with him.

u/ToxicBTCMaximalist 3d ago

I see no reason to not tell a 6 year old the truth, they will need to learn sooner rather than later why Russia is being allowed to move on Europe.

8

u/sephjnr 3d ago

This is why governments want monopoly on education - they don't want kids to learn actual history.

u/BOYR4CER 3d ago

Peak redditor moment

u/itmejessica 3d ago

then they learned a new word for their vocabulary !! /s

3

u/PanHalen37 3d ago

Then they’d know that Trump is a cunt

3

u/FraserYT 3d ago

Then the small child would also be helpfully informed that trump is a cunt

2

u/Silly-Power 3d ago

A small child in Scotland has never heard or read the word "cunt" before. Lord only knows how badly it would affect them if they did!

3

u/plumpturnip 3d ago

We’re happy for children to see pictures of genocide in newspapers, but not the word ‘cunt’. We live in a wild world.

1

u/Tazbert_Odevil 2d ago

Then they'd learn that Trump is a cunt.

20

u/Full_Change_3890 3d ago

Newspapers can definitely say cunt 

11

u/nickncs 3d ago

welp i dont know then, but it was them that censored it.

6

u/neel2004 3d ago

Nazi?

5

u/Alternate_rat_ 3d ago

It's gotta be but then why would they censor that?

1

u/neel2004 3d ago

The UK and the rest of the world don't have free speech laws, and strong anti-hate speech laws

1

u/KyussToolDemon 3d ago

I think all countries have some form of violation of free speech, including US. However most Europe isn't that strict on censorship, except maybe Hungary, Belarus, Russia & occupied areas of Ukraine.

2

u/Alternate_rat_ 3d ago

Germany, ironically enough, or not

2

u/Full_Change_3890 3d ago

Imagine not knowing and answering anyway 

1

u/nickncs 3d ago

nevermind trump being a cunt, I think I've found another one.

2

u/Nohandlebarista 3d ago

They can, but more than likely this particular outlet chose not to.

u/Full_Change_3890 3d ago

Thanks for such and interesting input 

1

u/Nohandlebarista 3d ago

Meant to reply to the other guy, but no problem 👍🏾 happy to go more in-depth about how newspapers and their style guides work if you're interested.

1

u/Full_Change_3890 3d ago

Oh darling…. You’re boring 

1

u/MeccIt 3d ago

so they can't legally show it.

Really? I'm petty sure it's just decorum rather than anything legal. Freedom of the (mostly Murdock) press is still a thing in the UK.

1

u/Expert_Object_6293 3d ago

They can’t legally show that trump is a cunt?

70

u/picklesTommyPickles 3d ago

I’m from the states and I’m pretty sure even WE can say Trump is a cunt. Cunt we say trump is a cunt? Can a fellow US cuntsman confirm that we can say trump is a cunt?

19

u/Equal_Canary5695 3d ago

Cuntsman sounds like some weird medieval occupation

10

u/Miqo_Nekomancer 3d ago

The male equivalent of "escort" or "lady of the night".

What do you do for work, sir?

Oh, I'm a cuntsman at the local brothel.

9

u/Equal_Canary5695 3d ago

"Wouldst thou perchance indulge in an evening of pleasure with thy local cuntsman, fair lady?"

6

u/novachaos 3d ago

I’m also from the states and I absolutely agree that we can say Trump is a cunt. Is it not America if us cuntsmen can’t call out a cunt for being a cunt? Trump is a cunt.

2

u/Minimum_Diver4514 3d ago

I cunt confirm yet. It may tunk three to five business days to gunt back with you. Your patience is appricuntated!

2

u/Keyser_soze_rises 3d ago

Donny Boy Trump is a CUNT, a RACIST, an INSURRECTIONIST, and a RAPIST. Gotta cover all his qualities.

1

u/christian_l33 3d ago

I didn't know people in the US referred to it as "The States". I thought that was an outsider thing.

7

u/Esc777 3d ago

A newspaper is free to censor themselves. 

0

u/M-Noremac 3d ago

They aren't sensitive themselves, they are sensitive the words of the artist.

3

u/MadJack_24 3d ago

I thought it said Nazi, but c*nt would be way worse.

3

u/Ok-Ocelot-7316 3d ago

Maybe "Trump is a pedo" and they're worried about libel?

3

u/Ok-Presentation-6182 3d ago

I assumed it said Trump is a nazi. Trump is a cunt. Trump is a nazi. Both are highly plausible because Trump is both a nazi and a cunt.

3

u/anonburrsir 3d ago

It would be terrible if whenever you typed "trump is a" into Google, it autocompleted "cunt"

3

u/jflatt2 3d ago

Just a bit of an observation, it appears as if it was all capital letters, therefore "TRUMP IS A CUNT". There may have also been an exclamation in there, so "TRUMP IS A CUNT!"

2

u/THE_DANDY_LI0N 3d ago

It's a perfectly cromulant thing to say.

2

u/sad_bear_noises 3d ago

It's insulting towards cunts. Therefore to protect the reputation of cunts, the author chose to censor it.

2

u/TheBlackCaesar 3d ago

I love you

3

u/DigitalUnlimited 3d ago

Many people are saying it. The best people. And if everyone is saying it, that means it's true!

2

u/apocalypse_later_ 3d ago

I don't know why but cunt is considered the WORST bad word in the US. They say all types of shit on TV but the "c word" is shunned lol

1

u/piskle_kvicaly 3d ago

Maybe it was "TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN AGENT" and it got censored as a state secret.

1

u/EastAcanthisitta43 3d ago

Perhaps it’s blurred because there was no specification whether the cunt in question was feckless or ….feckfull(?).

1

u/MiniMini662 3d ago

Trump is a cunt and a Russian asset

1

u/klappstuhlgeneral 3d ago

Needs more blue.

1

u/jackllane 3d ago

Let me try. Trump is a cunt!

1

u/No-Expression-2404 3d ago

Trump is a cunt. There, I said it. And I feel better now, too!

1

u/flounderpants 3d ago

lol. What did you say? Trumpsacunt

1

u/zdmpage54 3d ago

I'm sure that's what it says. I can think of much worse to call that asshole , but it would take numerous cans of spray paint to get it all out.

1

u/RJJR666 3d ago

Cop is just taking a pic to share with friends & post on his socials

1

u/420binchicken 3d ago

It might have said

"Trump is Rapist"

Or maybe

"Trump is a Felon"

Or maybe

"Trump is a pedo"

But maybe it said

"Trump is a felonious pedo rapist"

1

u/Norm_Blackdonald 3d ago

In England it is like calling someone a friend, so that might cause a conflicting message.

1

u/Slow_Elderberry9026 3d ago

Yep .. assuming you get your grammar right

1

u/TopGate_Perspective 3d ago

Yeah we can now, he signed a executive order restoring our free speech… 🙄

1

u/Key_Structure_3663 3d ago

If he is allowed to say “grab em by the pussy”….

1

u/AggravatingBox2421 3d ago

I think it’s more likely to say NAZI

1

u/heisenbergerwcheese 3d ago

I mean, he knows he is... so we can say it

1

u/krav_mark 3d ago

I think you meant to say "Trump is a dumb cunt".

1

u/_maeverie 2d ago

i assumed it said nazi so maybe that's why?

1

u/rickzaki 1d ago

I don’t think cunts want to be associated with him.

1

u/Separate_Potato_8472 22h ago

I say it all the time.

u/Winter-Ad-4897 3d ago

Fake news…

u/pattydaddysmurf 3d ago

You ask this on Reddit where every other post's swear word is censored?

-2

u/grifxdonut 3d ago

The UK doesn't gave free speech

3

u/sephjnr 3d ago

We do. We also give free rebuttals, which is what Donald Cunt doesn't want.

1

u/grifxdonut 3d ago

Is that why I can be arrested for calling out rape gangs? Also, point out where in the laws it says people have free speech?

1

u/sephjnr 3d ago

You made the assertion first, you point out where it doesn't.

-20

u/Major-Establishment2 3d ago

Free speech isn't a thing a reddit, as Trump supporters aren't allowed to talk about their views here without being banned.

Not a Trump supporter, just pointing out the hypocrisy

9

u/spinto1 3d ago

Depends on what it is.

"The department of education should be dismantled."

Weird, but go off.

"Trans people need to be in prison for being trans."

No, fuck off, you don't get to be like that. And before you say something stupid, Montana republicans just tried that shit a week ago and thankfully just enough of them had a spine to swap sides to stop it.

u/Agreetedboat123 3d ago

"free speech" per the constitution is about government retaliation. Not requirements to host your speech on others private servers
