THESE WORDS ARE NOT JUSTICE DEPARTMENT APPROVED

[Someone's been doing some reading in her off-time. After a bit of discussion with unnamed parties, a change suddenly goes into effect in the networks. Suddenly, all profanity on the networks, as well as clever attempts to dance around said profanity by spacing it out, switching to a foreign language, or using symbols, has been replaced by cutesy terms such as gently caressing, lovely, fluffy bunny, sweater sniffer, and kitten huffing. And more along those lines.

It goes through on voice and video, as well, updating the Legionnaire's words in real time. Any attempts to mouth it out or write it down has a United Planets logo stamped over the offending words, as well as a short snippet of text underneath the logo explaining that they're in violation of the Government Agency Profanity Prohibition Act of 2917. It's an archaic law, over a hundred years old, that never quite got repealed. It tried to push professionalism by banning profane and blasphemous language within official channels.

For her part, America's pleased to watch the chaos happen. She's sitting back in her room, popping salted blurple berries into her mouth, and waiting. It probably won't last long before someone resets the entire network or convinces Brainiac 5 to undo her silent partner's work, but it would be entertaining and informative to see how far her teammates take things.

well i guess thats one point in favor of terrible parenting
bro never cared what i did or said so i guess the silver lining of that cloud of neglect is that i pretty much skipped the teen rebellion bit
hard to rebel without any authority figures who actually care whether or not you turn into a decent human being to rebel against right

Mother cares about you, Dave.

And you're already a better than decent human being.

too real dude
this isnt the time or place for a feelings jam
this is purely about our presumed need for profanity and the complete futility of this brainless attempt to prevent it
my dedication to this fight is a fire that burns hotter than the alternian sun and is as undying as a sorority girls thirst
