       I find it outrageous and incredibly offensive how often subtitles are censored. I've experienced it on broadcast TV. On Amazon. On YouTube. And elsewhere. Deaf people do not need swear words hidden. Those of us with hearing loss don't suddenly decide, "Ah, yes, because I can't hear fully, I don't want to experience swearing anymore."Stop censoring our content!#Subtitles #ClosedCaption #Censorship

       @localzuk You know, there was device from the late 1980s or early 1990s which used the closed captions to mute swearwords (during which it'd show the subtitles with a euphemism).Ironically prudish captions like you're rightly complaining about would break this prudish settop box...Not that I see any point in this tech, it comes from the same misguided place...

       @localzuk I think the only one where it could make sense is like "f*beep*ing *beep*" but I'd much prefer putting the actual words and crossing them out (given actual text formatting support, not one of those unicode hacks).
