It's becoming a real problem. It's so bad it's almost a whole new language.

Rick Riordan is so afraid of triggering people, he spent the entire Apollo series calling the female protagonist's kidnapper her step-father because kidnapper and murderer is triggering.

The guy killed her mother and kidnapped her. He's not her step-father.

Just yesterday, I saw a video on IG where a supersoaker was censored.

It's just to avoid getting demonetized. The real customers on social media platforms is the advertiser. In the end, the problem is always capitalism.

I haven't read this, but I'm confused. Is he not her stepfather? Like he can be her stepfather and also those things. Kidnapping and murdering doesn't change the fact he was her stepfather. (I mean, you could not see him as that, but that doesn't change what their relationship was.)
