In internet slang, rage-baiting (also rage-farming) is the manipulative tactic of eliciting outrage with the goal of increasing internet traffic, online engagement, revenue and support.
Censoring shit that doesn’t need to be censored (i.e. swear words, and more recently any word like “kill”, “died”, “murdered”, “raped”, etc.) is likely the cheapest form of ragebait. You automatically trigger a bunch of engagement through responses of “you’re allowed to say X on the internet”. Engagement = More views, so throwing asterisks or blurring random words is proliferating.
Ragebait is something said or written intentionally wrong to get people to engage by “correcting” it. A good example is a video where someone mispronounces a word most everyone knows. Another, which this is, is censoring something for no reason.

I personally don’t have an opinion on this, but the implied tension is “Wild animals are not pets” and the woman befriending a wild animal.

Huh, interesting and surprisingly logical. I am way out of touch with the current state of tiktok, Facebook and I don’t know what.
You’re good. Very good.
Answer the question? Where is it?

So the censoring here, yes?

It’s over there, in a box.
