Don't say « it's f*** hot » anymore... Say it's kokushobi !
Cuz naming things is the first step to make them exist...
This is exactly the opposite of, for instance, a US administration that bans words.
That's Orwell's Newspeak... Remove the words to express the concepts you don't want to see, and the whole concepts will disappear in the end...#kokushobi, is just the opposite...
love this
