I mean even in corpo internet lingo where obscenity is censored... Panicked? Is panicked now negative enough of a word to deserve censorship? It's a crazy web out there

Lowest common denominator strikes again with ludicrously unnecessary censorship. Not even curse words or things like "suicide" anymore, just whatever drifts past their sights.

Its probably to avoid semantic analysis marking it as distressing or negative and deranking it for the target audience.
