I find this particularly distracting and annoying. Either write out "shit" or just use a different word. "Censoring" your own text like this comes off as an attempt at being edgy.
> this strikes us as a hedged, half-stepping, and underhandedly infantilizing approach to color design
Replace "color design" with "writing" and it becomes self-referential.
- Spelling “your” as “yr”
- “people” as “ppl”
- “sh*t” all over the place (“Have you clocked these s*ts??”)
- using ampersands in the middle of the article
- “regs-painted”
Etc.
