What is going on with some people on social media using m*n instead of men?.

Example 1 Example 2 I keep seeing this trend on social media, especially X/Twitter but I've seen it pretty much everywhere, of people taking about men, usually in a negative way, while censoring the word itself, as if it was an insult or a slur.

It's not a slur, not a word that gets flagged by automods, nor is something that usually gets searched, so I can't understand the need to censor it.
