I am thinking about starting a German TRP-blog, since there isn't much material available besides some PUA-forums and not all German guys are able to comprehend English to a level which suffices for them to take part in discussions here. Reddit also isn't nearly as popular here as it is in the US.
Since I am truly a noob regarding that topic I am asking for your advice, which is the best platform in your opinion in terms of usabilty, customization options (I am quite fit with web development), and most importantly in regards of censorship.

WordPress is superior to blogger in everyway imaginable, there is absolutely zero contest with WordPress when it comes to blogging software.
When your site is big enough, you can get your own hosting and move to wordpress.org software. It's basically the same as wordpress.com, but with more functionality and total control on your end by being hosted on your own server.
WordPress has thousands of themes and plugins to add functionality later on down the road. It's insanely customisable. Nothing else compares.

If it were me I would use python and use Django web framework. Out of the box it will come with functionality you need (user registration, form protection, database integration, and templating and more). It is also pretty easy to setup on a cloud server like digitalocean(you can buy server that is already configured to run Django-super easy). Django is completely customizable and you can add pretty much any front end framework(I recommend bootstrap) and even use Ajax for asynchronous stuff. The documentation is also very good so you won't have trouble learning. (use the official docs). I would use a postgres database as it should easily handle your transactions.
Let me know if you want some resources.
I wouldn't use wordpress. As I really hate PHP. And I like to have complete control of the backend and front end and how data is stored.
