people search up specific phrases or names on twitter and harass people, so bleeping letters is a way around that. But I think it's also perceived as a thing Woke Libs do performatively, so it becomes its own bit.
twitter libs also did it to talk shit on b*rnie to (1) not get caught by searchers and (2) not give him credit by saying his name
Sorry, I was trying to add to the bit, but I used too many asterixis and it broke the formatting of the post, so I deleted it
Well you see, they did a bad formatting. They did a poorly thought out bit. They did a weak apology. They did a no growth. This makes it abundantly clear they don’t understand the intersectional nature of the multiplicity of their offenses

tumblr users started bleeping key words that would get them spammed by people searching for specific phrases
it's a joke that's worn out its welcome months if not years ago. can we please stop doing in, it's really not funny anymore and it makes you look like a loser
I sometimes censor/misspell nzis and other far right stuff on Twitter because I don't want fucking Nazis to find my tweet
**** ***** *** *** ******* *****?
Seriously?
I think it helps convey that the poster or commenter has certain strong feelings about whatever the word implies. Gamer is one, Vaush, Destiny (the not great one), most Breadtubers here probably will have their names/channels asterisked when mentioned.
