A lot of these memes are from corporate social media, and they deboost stuff with swearwords in it, because that's their idea for hatespeech.
They don't do it because hatespeech, they do it to appease conservatives with puritanical values who think vulgarity is worse than genocide.
And advertisers
The rich own companies that advertise and the rich are generally conservative. They still dominate the culture of those who make financial decisions.
Or that the word fuck is worse that the n-word. I have seen many of them complaining for not being able to call black people "an archaic word" but others can say all kinds of swearwords.
