What the fuck is with motherfuckers misspelling words like "fuck" and "motherfucker"?

It's rude to misquote something. The rapper known as Rick Ross didn't say "mutherf ASTERISK ASTERISK ers", he said "motherfuckers". It's right there in the song if you hit play.

Why does he edit the text of the song but not the audio?

What the fuck is wrong with Americans thinking that some words are "bad" and should thus always be misspelled?

If they're bad, stop using them. If you're going to use them, spell them right. Spelling it "mutherf ASTERISK ASTERISK ers" doesn't keep my brain from thinking "fuck".

PS: HN's markdown doesn't let one escape an asterisk to get a literal asterisk.
