    But does censoring a letter change anything? Does reading f*ck read any different to fuck? Does the reader get more or less offense from it?

    Censorship doesn’t really seem to accomplish much and if anything draws extra attention to the censored word. I wouldn’t have given it a second thought without it.

    Who’s benefiting?

      Frankly, I think single-letter censoring like that is silly. It really doesn’t achieve anything and nobody benefits from it
