THESE WORDS ARE NOT JUSTICE DEPARTMENT APPROVED

[thedreamisdead]

[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attempts to dance around said profanity by spacing it out, switching to a foreign language, or using symbols, has been replaced by cutesy terms such as gently caressing, lovely, fluffy bunny, sweater sniffer, and kitten huffing.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 It's an archaic law, over a hundred years old, that never quite got repealed.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.]

Yes, but it was... [the early 80s, so who knows how effective it was?] Essentially not something politely spoken of.

[turntex]

well people care less about that kind of thing these days
normally i wouldnt call it a polite topic regardless but hey mr censorship has ensured that it can only be polite
because of course the curse words themselves are the heart and soul of vulgarity and taking those away will make us all model citizens
so yeah politely speaking
what part of prostitutes and phalluses are you not understanding

[ghost_bait]

It was less the words themselves, but rather the way you applied them.

[turntex]

i mean i could get into the applications of these things but i promise you it would be an even less polite conversation

[ghost_bait]

Please, I am perfectly fine not knowing.
