i'm not actively thinking about it but when the word is spelled out I don't see how anyone's brain can censor it

I hear all words out loud in my head when I read them

I usually say any word I read in my head. I also sing the n word in my head when I skip it in a song. I don't really feel guilty about it because I never say it out loud or type it. It's just how my brain works

Right that’s what I’m thinking too. Like who are you offending by thinking it

No lol I mean like if you think it while reading it, there’s no way anybody would know. I guess it’s more a question of the principle vs the effect on people ykwim? Cause on principle someone might say “I know that it’s wrong to say so I make an effort not to even think it” but some may say “I know I’m not affecting anyone’s life by thinking it because I have no bad intentions, so whatever”

I just kinda skip over it in my head even with song lyrics idk how to describe it, I know I’m not offending anyone by thinking it and I don’t do it on purpose even, that’s just what happens
