Welcome to corpo controlled internet, where you write within their guidelines, not where you freely communicate like actual people.

I mean even in corpo internet lingo where obscenity is censored... Panicked? Is panicked now negative enough of a word to deserve censorship? It's a crazy web out there

Lowest common denominator strikes again with ludicrously unnecessary censorship. Not even curse words or things like "suicide" anymore, just whatever drifts past their sights.
