this thread must continue, so i present: it's a harmless lie. like seriously. there's people out there doing a billion times worse. why not have some fun, or focus on more important questions in life like if there's enough food in the house?

If only people could accept that English being a living language isn't just about the past, but words are changing now, and that's OK.
This is for the people who gouge their own eyes out when they hear people say "unalived"; the people who (suspiciously) insist on the clinical definition of pedophile; and "it's called a magazine actually" gun-brains.
it wasn't over censorship. It was them choosing to not show children stuff that probably talks about adult themes, like death. Because maybe you shouldn't be talking about blowing someone's head off to children, right? Sane decision.
Then influencers decided they wanted money and more money meant avoiding the algorithm from noticing you talk about adult themes, so they show more users ie children, and kids love watching weird shit especially if it's talking about adult themes. Then you get a bunch of weird fucking influencers talking about people "unaliving themselves" and targeting children viewers
While I agree, I also think we have a responsibility to use language as a tool to be fair and precise. How should we react when for example far-right people start using the word "groomer" about LGBTQ people in general? Should we push back, or nod and say "interesting, this usage is catching on I guess"?
Also SAed instead of raped. Then there is PDF-file.
The reason is more due to the algorithm searching for words to censor, strike, or other reduce the likelihood of recommendation. Not natural language change.
Just an extension of set of reasons for the application of neologistic methods. There'll never be a shortage of euphemisms fading in and out of social consciousness

If they've never referenced this in modern Batman, they should. I could see the Joker gleefully talking about his erection.

That sounds like a great Harley Quinn plotline

Ah yes, the "near meaningless term" being only the centerpoint of this community, what a great analysis you've provided

Ironman doesn't seem very gay in this picture. It would be a queer boner to take dick from him.
(Iron man doesn't seem very happy in this picture. It would be an odd mistake to take advice from him)

"Unalive" is stupid NOT because language changes and ree, but because it came about via over-censorship by megacorporations.
Jax@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 59d
This about sums it up. There's a vast difference between a language naturally evolving to fit the times and whatever the fuck 'unalive' is.

No, no — see, skibidi is actually a valuable addition to the English language.
