My wife was telling me about how annoying it is that she'll try listening to new true crime podcasts and they'll shit like "unalived" instead of "killed". Comes across hella disrespectful to the victims.
Everyone else is circle jerking about the censorship, meanwhile, I’m wondering how murder, rape, suicide, sex, and lesbians all came up in a bumble chat.
I'll never forget about 25 years ago cruising around some random chat rooms on mIRC and somebody asked me how the weather was and I said it was a bit chilly and I got instabanned with the message potty mouth... took me a good 5 minutes to workout wtf happened (bit ch)illy
A friend of a friend died of cancer complications. I posted a rest in peace type message on Facebook without details.
The next time I saw my mother she asked "I saw your post. Did your friend unalive herself...?". It felt SO insulting and demeaning for her to ask that AND to ask like that.
The terms originated from online censorship but to me using these terms IRL is very similar to people who use internet slang out loud. Might not be censoring herself but just so used to using those terms. It's annoying either way though.
Anyone old enough to remember Ren and Stimpy and the episode where they found corn in the dresser? I didn't realize it was porn...and now porn is actually called corn. I'm too fucking old.
This kind of newspeak censorship is absolutely evil. We should absolutely go against any people or entities pushing it forward.
I'm not going to say exactly what I'd want to do to them because it would likely violate the Geneva convention, though honestly I feel like it shouldn't if we should also be allowed to punch, shoot, or otherwise violently attack Nazis, why not these evil people trying to suppress us and Push newspeak right now? Ultimately they're being civil right now but once they have their way they'll be beating and arresting us (Just like the polite Nazis would).
My millennial partner (admittingly adopted the lingo late) approaches strangers with doggos and says things like what a Heckin good pupper, who's a smoll boi etc.
Not surprised at zoomers doing this. Its just more funny on twitter when someone says something like fugg you!
