If I were to make an account with the user name CumInYourCornflakes or
HitlerMyHero there'd be someone all over the account within minutes,

No it is NOT. It is not censorship if I choose not to see X, that is my
choice. So long as YOU have the choice to see X if you want to then we
can both live in harmony. The conflict arises when you say that I must
see X, or if I say you must not see X. Where X is some broadly
recognized category of offensive material.
