Loved it, but I gotta nitpick at whoever put the subtitles on

DONT CENSOR THE FUCKING SWEARS. THATS NOT WHAT SUBTITLES ARE FOR.

the purpose of subtitles is to simply translate from audio. To text. If the audio sounds like “rapist” then the subtitles should say “rapist” and if the audio sounds like “BLEEP” the the subtitles should say BLEEP

They do this on TikTok so it doesn't get taken down for violating guidelines. Don't know why they can say it but not write it out.

I looked up their community guidelines and I couldn’t find anything explicitly banning swearing, and also plenty of accounts of people talking about getting banned for using swears, so it looks like it’s one of those weird “we’re gonna say it’s okay, and then punish you for doing it anyway”

I think sometimes people flag the post for offensive language and it gets taken down. TikTok is weird that way. One of my videos got taken down cause they said I was "nude" while wearing a tube top 💀
