It's probably from the era of content silo algorithms that really do not like and punish your content for saying certain words, like COVID-19 in mid 2020, or "dead" today (I seem to recall a YouTuber having to beep himself saying that word very recently)

I'm not blaming zoomers, no more than I am blaming chinese youth who have to talk about "aquatic producers" to avoid being censored for even discussing censorship.
Ironically I tried looking for a list of officially banned words on twitch. All I found was journalist spam 'summarising' and telling me how I should feel about it.
One site had a list of 50 words, all of which they censored, literally:
- N-word
- F-word
- C-word
- S-word
- T-word
When I scrolled to the end ( "A*kissing" ), I got a newsletter popup.
