I find it outrageous and incredibly offensive how often subtitles are censored.

I've experienced it on broadcast TV. On Amazon. On YouTube. And elsewhere.

Deaf people do not need swear words hidden. Those of us with hearing loss don't suddenly decide, "Ah, yes, because I can't hear fully, I don't want to experience swearing anymore."

Stop censoring our content!

@localzuk Is this in situations where the audio is not bleeped? If so, that's as offensive as H-E-double-hockey-sticks. 😠

@linguacaps yup. Uncensored audio, censored captions. Happens a lot.
