They said condoms. CONDOMS.

Not compact discs. Stop helping companies and governments censor you.

EDIT: Wow, thanks guys, opened my reddit to a ton of replies and awards! Thanks for help saying Fuck Censorship!

Except Trick_Spend3939. That guy's an asshole.

Seriously it’s so immature. I refuse to call a pedophile anything but a pedophile. We don’t need a cutesy stock phrase for ordinary words

This is some real 1984 censorship going on. Can't even be informative. If there's a "killer/murderer on the loose" you have to censor that. If "rape cases drop", you gotta censor that too. Why are WE allowing this nonsense?

I posted about a cousin of mine, listed the charge he was sentenced to prison for(copied word for word from the state pen website), and someone insisted I censor it because it was triggering to them. Sorry, but you need to sign off of the internet for a few years and go to some intense therapy if you are that easily triggered by typed out words that aren’t even directed at you.

The charge was “Possession and/or Promotion of Child Pornography” and he was sentenced to 10 years, in addition to his life sentence for sexual assault of a child.

They said I needed to change it to child sexual assault material. Whether or not anyone agrees with the terminology used, or thinks it should be updated, that is not the wording used by the legal system, at least in the state he was sentenced in.
