★ ۰ ໋࣭ why and how you should censor the names of kp0p !d0ls or an!m€ characters on edtwt - a thread bc some of you clearly need it
let’s be honest. 90% of edtwt users don’t just tweet about their eds. we all like to tweet about our interests or what not. however, im noticing most of you do not bother to censor names or purposefully want the wrong side of twt to find your tweet!
this is wrong for many, MANY reasons! you should always try to censor names or sources no matter what!! the consequences are so much worse than st4ns making fun of you in the replies.
1. Triggering others. You all LOVE to claim how pro-recovery you are. you all LOVE to attack tiktok for not putts tws or publicly posting ed content because **anyone** can see that. and you know what?? you are being a hypocrite of that if you don’t censor names.
similar to edtiktok publicly posting edtwt conten anyone can see, your tweet that has an uncensored name (if you’re public) can be seen by anyone.
Imagine being 7 months into restrictive eating disorder recovery and also being a bl!/nk. you search up r0s€’s name on twitter because she’s your bias.
Imagine that the very first tweet you see is someone from edtwt talking about how skinny and tiny she is. How underweight she is. You would automatically question relapsing, right?
Imagine having recently gotten into 4n1me and you search up the name of your favorite one. you scroll a bit and you find a “____ thinspo thread.” you’ve never had a disordered thought before, but now you wish you could be as tiny as these characters.
You all agree that publicly posting ed content on tiktok is horrible because anyone can see it. Do you now see how an innocent person can see your triggering content?
Its not just about “I can take it idc if st@ns attack me.” Its about keeping this deadly community and the others SEPARATE. Do you remember developing your disorder for the first time? It wasn’t just a sudden decision. It was also the things you see on social media.
2. Inviting yourself and others to get attacked. This is a more specific situation. When you purposefully tweet uncensored names so that you can get in fights with people.
If you believe the worst that can happen if you uncensor names is someone telling you to k¥s go back to reason one. Not only can you trigger those that are innocent but you are setting yourself up to be attacked by ruthless fan bases.
Why do we not learn from our mistakes? The first time we got attacked as a whole by bl!/nks. and now @/rm¥s??? When those massive numbers of people see that one god awful tweet dissing their faves, they will OBVIOUSLY generalize the entire ed community as a whole.
Your one bad action will now represent ALL OF US. this is the EXACT reason everyone calls edtwt disgusting and horrible. your tweet that got 1k qrts from 5t@ntwt is obviously going to represent us more than a tweet that got 1 like venting abt their ed.
You all love to complain about how everyone thinks we’re evil and talks shit about us, acting like we’re satan and then make us look jokes, wanting people to fight us.
You never deserve to get your eating disorder mocked by st@ns. however, I want you to understand how things will look from their perspective. Our image as a community has been ruined by uncensored names. If you tweet that you want them to fight them then of course they’re going
to fight you???? I hope what I said made sense and did not come off as insensitive. Just understand that whenever you say you want to fight a community and purposefully uncensor names, you represent us all. and as a result, we will get stigmatized as well.
I really hope this didn’t come off as victim-blaming. Im saying that if you directly state “(twt community” fight me” know that you’re representing all of us and that you WILL get fought by that community.
So please! Keep our community safe by censoring. Remember that we ALL can get affected by any uncensored words you post. You’re not the only one getting the consequences. Thank you <3
3. How to censor!! Its fine if you forget to censor a tweet. it’d be best if you delete the tweet though and just repost it censored <3
What should i censor?
-kp0p !d0l names
-names of sources
-names of 4n1m€ characters
-celebrity names
-books, tv shows, etc!
-kp0p !d0l names
-names of sources
-names of 4n1m€ characters

-books, tv shows, etc!
How can I censor?
o -> 0, ()
a -> 4, @, /\\
i -> !, ¡, 1,
L -> capital i, 1
u -> v
s -> $, 5
b -> |3
y -> ¥
e -> €, £
and etc!

However, sometimes a simple 1 (i) or 4 (a) isn’t enough. For fandoms like bl!/nk$ or 4rm¥$ i like to be more elaborate because sometimes those st@ns get around the simpler censors to “sniff us out.”
End of the thread! This is all /lh and /nm. Im not trying to start anything with anyone on edtwt and I hope you all understand why I made this thread.
I saw someone ask the tl how the found out abt edtwt and 90% of the replies were “people didnt censor an id0l$ name” and i thought it was really sad. Please understand that you can trigger people like this. Thank you <3
