I suspect the meme has likely been pulled from elsewhere else (looking at you, Meta) and posted as-is with specific words remaining partially censored because of the Zucc. It’s stupid, but the meme might not exist in another format.

This is the most likely reason. While I die a little each time it comes up as a reminder of how much of the internet is sanitized in the stupidest possible ways, at least the half assed way means I can still easy read whatever was 'censored' to appease the sanitation departments.
I think the unnecessary censorship is silly in most cases, but I think the linked example is actually meant to be part of the meme over all.
I just picked an arbitrary example, but it is only one of maaaaaany that do this.
Yes. The comments bitching about the words being cross out should be modded. They're the ones ruining everything and making mountains out of molehills and derailing any discussion stemming from the actual post.
Thank you for pointing out a real problem.
