    If you are a history buff, read up on the aventine secession on Wikipedia.

    The TL;DR is that in 1924 Giacomo Matteotti, a member of the house of representative who was outspoken against Mussolini, was killed and no charges were brought forward. That even is what transition Italy from a semi-working democracy to a one-party dictatorship.

          I hate that people are starting to actually use these censor-bypass words in real life… makes adults sound like children!

            So, kinda like how all slang and colloquial language sounds at first? Not like prefixes aren’t a part of our language either.

            Besides, there’s plenty of words that get changed or replaced because what society considers offensive changes.

            We don’t use “cripple”, “retard”, or many other words.

              People also say LOL instead of laughing. Kids are weird. I just hope it doesn’t go into the mainstream.
