I’m not defending them, but arguably neither of the two in Star Wars being referenced here should be called that. Maybe the jedi one is, if we consider them a religious group and not a political one (debatable at the point of the attack), because it was a widespread extermination of them. The sand people one was just a mass murder though. There wasn’t a systemic extermination of the people, only a large retribution killing of a single group.
Still though, they’re close enough that we all know what it’s talking about. It’s fine.
We are censoring genocide now?
Is it censorship to have mcdonalds sponsor your genocide?

Maybe it’s to avoid getting buried in the algorithm on mainstream apps that avoid that word. It’s likely just a copy paste from one of those.
“The algorithm” really doesn’t care about font changes.
People’s grasp of modern computing is insanely outdated. Nobody does simple string matching at scale like in the ye olden forums.
Any decently advanced system will “know” the words you black out or write in a weird font or with a modern expression like “unalive”
Even with the consumer accessible multi-modal language models reading AND understanding th context of text in images is fully trivial
Yet publications on TikTok with the word suicide get banned and deleted, while unalived do not.
It’s true that they do know what the content is about, it’s just the politics of online social networks shaping communication.
I can’t tell if it’s censorship or meme spelling
I’ve seen much milder words being censored. Words that don’t even have any negative connotations.
I know I am. So sick of the overuse and devaluation of the word here.
Which genocide shouldn’t be called a genocide? Come on, say it.

He means Gaza, his comment isnt about star wars.
The meme is.
Seems like a cowardly way of saying you want to ignore all the increasing number of genocides happening in the world.
That’s one interpretation.

Can you give us an example of things you don’t like being referred to as “genocide”?
But c*nsored usage is still usage. Everybody can see the word.
B-based
B*sed.
