Honestly censoring it like this just calls more attention to it. Had it not been censored I'd have just read the word and moved on. Had it been censored but using the same colour as the background I'd have read it, spent some time thinking "I hate this trend of censoring benign uses of language to bypass big social media companies' filters, but I guess it's necessary" (because I'd have assumed you grabbed this from a Twitter or Facebook post).

But censoring with a big red squiggle, the first thing I read was tits. All the downsides of the subtle censoring, but then it also gets seen over and over again because it visually stands out so much.
