Because the platform’s algorithms block or delete your posts if you use certain words. They’re not “scared”, it just becomes habit to use alternative words to avoid censorship.
I’d put that in a different category, since forever words that used to be accurate medical conditions have been slowly transformed into slurs. Idiot used to be one, for example. Now whether we need to censor these new slurs is a different matter, I’m all for polite discourse but also for freely being able to use swear words, so I guess I’m 50/50 on the issue.
