as always isn't it obvious-
My reasons is that if a kid who doesn't know what it means and comes across it on the website, they'll search it up and learn a bad word (sob sob like me)

I recall this was rejected at some stage, but I couldn't find the listing in TOLORS

Support. I couldnt find any words with this specific four-letter combination and its highly inappropriate.

I removed it (along with the other “censor mildly bad word” suggestions) because folks were using the TOLORS quote to justify that saying those words is allowed in any context. (This is in fact not true; when used disrespectfully, those words are not allowed.)

I've historically agreed that it should be censored, but maybe why it isn't censored is a result of language evolving. I kinda feel like this particular word is a word itself, almost … yes, it originated as an acronym, but these days it's kinda used as an emoticon but with letters instead. idk man

Semi-support. It has a bad word in it, but it's not considered offensive enough. This is also rejected.

Wow, society really needs to reconsider what words the true bad words and not true bad words.

No support. The filter prevents you from saying the full meaning of “lmao”.

I mean as in saying just lmao

No support
Literally in this day of age, most kids know cuss words. Why remove it when kids would search it up and already know what the cuss word means?

Because there are some kids who dont know and we dont want it spreading to them?

-nvm/

the a in lmao may mean something else depending on what the commenter interprets it as
if the viewer is thinking about the inappropriate one, then thats their problem

and if someone is using lmao in a disrespecc-ful way
report button exists

But it is mostly used for the cuss word

Laughing my arm off.
What if I were to say lmao but I meant a different body part?

Yeah right!

no support for reasons above. I can see idk's meaning better than lol or lmao's meaning. it takes a second to process. plus, I've never had a problem with anyone saying it.

Support!
also ROFL is a safe version of that means rolling on (the) floor laughing

I mean, honestly, even if you do take swear words seriously/offensively, the full version of lmao is so mild, and the abbreviated version is even more ngl. I mean honestly, if parents don't want their kids learning swear words, they shouldn't have internet access, I mean it's pretty simple in my opinion. You can't really expect to expose a child to the global web and not have them pick up words like that, and lmao is genuinely so miniscule and inconsequential in my opinion, that I really don't think it matters.

suggestions about the filter should go through contact us (i think??)
