I don’t see the subject of their satire (someone who is seeking to or is able to alter the content of well-known literature, generally on store shelves or in schools) to be the same as the people who self-censor for online algorithms and advertisements. There is some similarity between the parties but I don’t think that was the author’s intent. People who want to censor others tend to draw attention to the emotionally challenging concepts with direct and emphatic diction since they want to convince people that the content is too extreme or wrong; in contrast, the online self-censorers tend to do so begrudgingly and wish that they were not in a situation in which they have to dance around words or concepts.
The Tumblr profile is restricted so an account on that website is required to see if the self-censorship is a common pattern in their writing or if it was just for this case.
It’s part of the bit. They are talking from the perspective of people who do want to censor it.
