i'm curious now

usually censorship is used to replace a strong word with a milder one, or to change the meaning of the text

what word in this meme was so egregious that OP saw fit to replace it with "fucking"

My best guess is that it originally was "fucking," someone censored it to something like "hecking," then someone else censored the censor back to "fucking"

I kinda love this journey though
