      The statement becomes hard to understand if you just censored Vivian’s old name.

      If you replaced it with “Vivian”, and “she”, then you change it so much that it becomes confusing what point Musk was trying to drive at, and/or diminish exactly how vile his statement was.

        Just blank out her dead name. People have been doing that on other platforms and it is clear enough what type of harrasment it is. Otherwise, you are just spreading the harm.

          yeah that fucking sucks to read. you can half assedly scribble it out, you can white it out and put “deadname” over it. it’s just lazy not to.
