fake censor
When something is censored that doesn't need to be censored, as a joke. For example, censoring bad food to imply that it's inedible, censoring the hands or feet to imply they're a sexual body part, or censoring a phallic symbol to make it sexually suggestive.
This does not include things that are normally censored, such as sexually explicit material, copyrighted material (such as product names), censored identities, censored gestures, or censored violence or gore.
