  • I think it’s generally a culture thing; you don’t eat your beasts of burden (oxen, horses, etc) and you don’t eat your animaux de compagnie. Not just because they’re useful and you would more than likely have a connection to them, but generally speaking, these are very lean animals, barely any fat on them, plus the fact that unless you know what you’re doing and make the slaughtering of your animal quick and painless, endocrines get released into the muscle tissue, making the meat bitter.





  • In adult-facing parts of the internet, including here, swears are typically used for an extra bit of “oomph” to spice up a sentence or make a point clear. (I know that there’s an actual word for this but I can’t think of it currently.) It’s generally considered neutering that spice if you censor it; case in point is this meme. It just tends to look childish or dumb, especially if the word is just vaguely censored like this meme here again. At least Grawlixes (“$#@&!”) have some mystery as to the word being said.
