TikTok and Instagram are very picky about language and will algorithmically suppress you if you use words they deem to be "brand-risky." As a response we now have people on social media training themselves to cover up letters in perfectly normal words, say "unalive" instead of "die/kill," etc.

I'm unsure as to why the occurrences of 'murdered' are censored.

I hate this trend so much. Is everyone on the internet supposed to be 8years old or something?

Well conservative snowflakes might get their feelings hurt and blame it on "the children" that they're allegedly protecting.

don't forget the creativity like "deleted from the census" or "bought the farm" or "bit the dust", etc. There is a poetry to avoiding a filter.

Based on the title, I was expecting it to end with a handjob

The internet has become just five websites, each posting screenshots of the other four.

This is not a trend I like. Websites have gotten so fucking lazy...
