A GUIDE TO CENSORING IN THE &RPS COMMUNITY

Hello Luné! Welcome to a simple guide to censoring for the &TEAM RPS (&RPS) community.What do you mean by censoring? What is the purpose of censoring?
Censoring is a common phenomenon across K-Pop RPS fandoms that avoids using the exact letters of idol or ship names in order to reduce visibility of posts related to RPS. This is usually done to reduce the chance of idols finding RPS content about themselves, or of non-RPS fans finding RPS tweets. In some fandoms, this might involve using special characters that appear to be the same letter but are different; for &RPS, this typically means using either emoji combinations, or sseobang (Korean search prevention) names, which will be explained below.An additional purpose, mentioned below, is to aid you in finding art and other content for your preferred ships, particularly from Korean &RPS Luné!Do I have to censor everything?
Not at all! &RPS censorship has been used for years by international &RPS Luné who wanted to create a safe space to write RPF and talk about &TEAM ships together, adopted from the existing &RPS censoring style already used in Korean &RPS. You might commonly see &RPS Luné using censored ship names as a result, even if it might not be a custom in other fandoms. But with a constantly growing fandom, there are also those who choose not to censor their &RPS related posts, and this is fine, too! Censorship is no longer required for our submissions - you can choose to censor or not censor if you want!How can I censor my posts if I want to?
Aside from censoring the group's name (i.e., &TEAM into &t, or similar), member names and ship names can be censored. Here are the different ways of censoring the members' names:

Sseobang names typically have the first name being the 'left' or the 'top' and the second name being the 'right' or the 'bottom'. '닉쭈' or 'nikjju' means that Nicholas is the left, and Euijoo is the right; '쭈네코' or 'jjuneko' means the opposite. Using a member's name on either side of another member's name suggests there is switching/no defined dynamic.For example: 🍊🍓/ 🍓🍊
EJ (left) + Nicholas (right) = 쭈네코 (jjuneko)
Nicholas (left) + EJ (right) = 닉쭈 (nikjju)
ncej (dynamic non-specific)
JNJ (both switch) = 쭈닉쭈 (jjunikjju)K-Luné (and in some cases, J- or C-Luné) are typically more strict in the way they use these terms, particularly on Twitter or on Korean fanwork sites such as Postype. You might find some Luné that love Jjuneko, but won't touch anything to do with Nikjju! Knowing sseobang terms helps I-Luné to know exactly how to search what they're looking for! Even if you choose to not use &RPS censoring for your own tweets, having some awareness of the terms can be helpful in finding like-minded people in the &RPS fandom.Other common examples:
