If I hear "unalive" as a verb one more time 
Something dystopian about being trapped in a system that runs on mass death but expects you to talk about death like you're a character in a children's cartoon
Where are the free speech perverts?
busy crying about their 14 words tweet getting taken down in 2019
blaming communists for capitalists do
"I'm going to to do myself like Tarzan did to Clayton from Disney's Tarzan"
You mean watch while they hang themselves with their own
VinesTikToks?Send yourself and everyone around you to the Shadow Realm
You're not allowed to be aware of the spectacle. It's a crime. Dropping your mask of passive acceptance to fall to your knees and scream "The spectacle! The spectacle!~ it's all the spectacle!" in the middle of hte streets is illegal because it's bad for quarterly profits
Listen, only Joe Biden can promote violence. Anyone else? Instantly sent to

Tiktok isn't an app for kids, i don't want to be ageist - it's for all ages and everyone can have fun on there. But the way tiktoker's talk on tiktok and other platforms with their cutesy little euphemisms for violence and sex does make me think every time "Ah, they're used to the kiddie app", because it's making grown adults be afraid to talk about adult topics.
This is just the fault of censorship and not the app or the users, but it is literally sanitized kiddie language and feels very out of place and hard to take seriously on websites that don't have that censorship.
I'm unfamiliar. Does something with the term 'suicide', for example, get flagged on tik tok?
The filters and algos and censorship rules are not public. All this shit "unalived" 'grippy socks vacation", is people trying to intuit what is an isn't allowed in an environment where htey have no meaningful feedback at all. "It's against our community guidelines". No one knows what the guidelines are. No one knows what does or does not violate them. No one knows if hte decision is made by a human or a machine.
The thought process isn't dissimilar to magic - People are doing ritualized actions to stave off the attention of their evil, hateful gods. if they make the sign of hte evil eye, if they say their prayers before bed, if they don't say "suicide" then the evil dopamine god won't de-list, de-monetize, or ban them.
When they started doing behaviorialism research on animals, there was this one thing that stuck in my mind, they found ut that, if they just gave pigeons food at random times, like pigeons in cages, the pigeons would seemingly start to think that whatever it was they were doing when the food appeared caused the food to appear. So very quickly they'd end up with pigeons doing these little dance routines, because the pigeon had built up an association between what it was doing and the appearance of food. The pigeon didn't know what hte fuck was happening, but it was trying to make sense of and control it's situations.
All these tortured neologisms, they're the same thing. people are trying to talk, just talk, about important shit in theirlives and all these vast, opaque, inhuman regimes of censorship and punishment are pressing down on them. But they don't know what hte rules are, the companies that have seized control of all mediums of public communication won't tell them, will lie to them, so they're trying to figure it out as individuals who either don't understand science or don't have the resources needed to interogate the system usinmg scienetific methods.
It's all fucked. There's a metaphorical existentialist shaking you by the collar and screaming "DO YOU SEE? DO YOU SEE THE ABSURDITY OF A UNIVERSE THAT IS BOTH INDIFFERENT AND CRUEL?!?!?!?!
Suicide, weed, death, a whole bunch of shit honestly but mostly that.
I learned "sewer slide" is a thing recently
kermit sewer slide
New dance name just dropped
You trying to tell me all the hot singles in my area aren't actually interested in making a corn video with me?
people fully say it in real life now.
Every genuine Gen Z linguistic invention is a word filter workaround. Nothing but mundane words that computer scientists can't filter for fear of filtering far larger numbers of mundane and innocent posts and significantly harming revenue for internet platforms, only to watch the kids select a new mundane word to describe a dick
It's either filter workarounds or it's been widely popularizing existing terms that used to be more regional or strictly associated with black or hip-hop culture. Like cap, fam, simp, etc
Which is pretty normal, isn't it? A lot of slang from the 80s was just reappropriated southern California surfer lingo.
only to watch the kids select a new mundane word to describe a dick.
🍆💦🍑
I'm just a fan of watering vegetables 😎
algospeak can be useful doe. see 🍉
It shows just how influential social media is in shaping culture outside of the ordinary internet niches.
I mean, I have been saying "lol" out loud in real life for the majority of my life
Like the good old "an hero" from before zoomers did their first fortnite dance.
This is definitely one of those phrases, like "jannies" or "lolcow," that raises the hairs on my back and gets me to reach for the report button.
Go commit die
I'm still partial to the classic "minecrafted".
yes it is the hallmark of a healthy society
If I hear "unalive" as a verb one more time
So glad I am not the only one that finds that stuff unseemingly.
The WWE used their euphemism when John Cena said "we have caught and compromised, to a parmenent end, Osama Bin Laden."

So it aint just the zoomers! WWE wanted to get everyone hyped about an assassination, but even they were like "ooo, that is kinda gruesome."
doing passive voice during an episode of monday night raw lmao
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
In bad country, people have to alter their speech to appease those with power
I unironically like the term "unalive". I use it when I wanna be casual and whimsical in my misery. My language is a tad different when I'm holed up in my job's bathroom looking up that ol' hotline.
Lol one time I made a baseball joke on Reddit and got permabanned for it. The
king pedophilesadmins know us well.Take myself to a baseball game.
I forget the name right now, it's like casual geography or something who does animal fact youtube stuff and his are pretty good, especially because it's applied to nature. Hearing what a young gazelle needs to do not to end up with their face on a t shirt or whatnot is pretty funny.
I'm not saying using colourful euphemisms for death isn't funny, I love wordplay. It's just depressing when people start doing it subconsciously because of shitty algorithms that don't even work because people will indeed just sidestep them by being creative
He's a fun exception and shitty algorithm is probably a part of why but you could get there just by being funny too. I'm generally anti-euphemistic language as a common use, harsh terms are needed to describe harsh subjects.
