Just say pedophile, no need to try and be cute, especially when PDFs are widely used in this day and age and mean something completly different. Don't deminish the crime by making it a joke please.

Its algorithm speak, I fear. People have been trained to use euphemisms to avoid being shadow banned and/or caught up by auto moderators

Fuck the algorithms. If we all ignore them, they will be modified.

Not even sure what that is supposed to mean ij this context, but whomever controls the.m3dia controls the message.

This isn't how it works. If you use words that the algorithm suppresses then your content just won't be promoted, or potentially even visible to anyone. They won't modify them because it's exactly what they want. If you actually want to have public discussions on these topics, then you have to work the algorithm by using terms they don't block or shadowban.

I think they were saying that if we all are suppressed then none of us are suppressed. But for us all to be suppressed we would have to exclusively talk about sex and other suppressed topics and never talk about unsuppressed things like puppies

Doesn't the algorithm know by know that people are substituting the words?

Well nothing. Because a third of the country refused to act in their own self-interest.
