Breaking news: words with profanity IN them does NOT equal profanity

Here at Bumblefucked we have been fortunate enough to make it into a few carnivals. Thus far two of those carnivals have felt it necessary to censor the blog name. One made us known as “Bumble****ed” or something silly like that while the other simply called us “Bumble.”

I find the censorship more offensive than any profanity. (Never mind the fact that I would never call a site “bumble”, wtf?)

It is also quite absurd.

Profanity in a word does not make that work profanity by association. For instance, the word “embarrass” is never thought of as profanity, even though it clearly has the word “ass” in it.

In fact, choosing to clearly censor the word makes it more profanity than not as it makes it seem taboo or something.

And now, back to the regularly scheduled programming here at “Bumble”
