“Avada Ked--[oh right, new censorship policy, sorry]”
looks baffled
Avada Kedavra is a spell trigger for a death spell. In the context implies the urge to a respond to a stupid, misleading or perhaps disingenuous question with the application of power, violence or killing rather than compliance with the form of the question. Since it isn’t specific or in reference to any actual people this doesn’t technically violate the new censorship policy but it is still close enough that I laughed at Army’s joke!
it isn’t specific or in reference to any actual people
I’d guess that “people who write match questions on OkCupid” is specific enough that actually advocating violence against them would be against the spirit of the policy. (I can’t imagine someone actually doing that, or imagine someone imagining someone doing that, but I’ve lost count of the times I’ve underestimated the validity of Poe’s Law.)
Good idea, although it’s still useful to be able to choose in case you need to fill in all the questions.

Ah, right. That is pretty funny, actually.
