"I pricked my finger" becomes "I *ed my finger" which completely changes the sentiment, and a plot summary of "dumbo" will become unsuitable for children
Interestingly, ho is just censored, but hoe (the garden tool spelling) becomes "sexually active woman"
"I bitched about it" becomes "I female doged about it"
douche is censored so don't even try describing /comment tu te douches/
slut becomes "sexually active young woman" but slag is left uncensored - apparently only Americans bully on the internet
prostitute becomes sex worker, gigolo is unmodified
A "perversion of the rules" becomes a "kink of the rules," and "the one who perverted them" becomes "the one who fetishisted them"
Cuck becomes "not chauvinist" which is a major distortion
Pretty much any nominal variant on fat becomes "voluptuous person" which is, again, a distortion, not just politened but given a new connotation
chav becomes working class youth, so maybe Brits do bully over the internet after all - indeed, twat becomes vulva, but they missed the portmanteau tunt...
homosexual becomes "gay peopleexual"
There are definitely limits to ligature-based censorship
