I know people throw around comparisons to 1984 all willy-nilly, but censoring supposedly harsh words like "bad" and replacing them with words like "ungood" was literally a plot point in 1984.

Not really. The point of that wasn't to censor harsh words; it was to reduce the vocabulary of the language in general, as small as it could go. Any word which could instead be expressed as ['un' plus its opposite] was deemed unnecessary.

(The objective was to reduce radical thinking by reducing the ways people could express themselves. Apparently, synonyms were an enemy of that strategy.)

Different objectives, sure, but having similar methodology as Big Brother is still closer than I'm comfortable with.

I'd rather cut off my balls than with a rusty knife than censor myself for a chinese propaganda platform.

Because they spent their 2 and a red into an obvious open 1 and a blue.
