#unalive

I do think people wringing their hands about free speech when it comes to TikTok are a little funny. I mean it’s TikTok the platform so heavily censored that people came with “unalived”

Look, I understand why people have to censor the word "rape" with "grape" or, God forbid, 🍇; censorship on the Internet is a massive and growing problem, especially on social media sites, and people need to be able to talk about these issues.

But, for fucks sake, we already have euphemisms that are more appropriate and applicable than a damn emoji or a word that completely diminishes the seriousness of the subject.

Oh, I can't say "He sexually assaulted her"? Well, what about "He took advantage of her"? Or "He forced himself on her"?

Oh, "She murdered him" will get me banned? Well, what about "She took his life"? Sounds better than "She unalived him", doesn't it?

Oh, you want me to say "pew pew" in place of "gun"? How about I say "firearm" instead?

I fucking wish adults could discuss adult topics on the Internet without having to devolve into "baby speak" to get around some AI censorship bot. But sadly, this is the reality. The least we could do is choose phrases that are respectful and topical!

reject the word ‘unalive’ and instead embrace mafia terms like ‘sleeping with the fishes’!

"usamericans" is the geographic equivalent of "unalive"

If these creators truly need to censor their words like death/died/whatever, because they could get demonetized, I think saying that someone "passed away" or something along that line would be better (and respectful) than saying "unalived"

getting hate from tiktokers is honestly hilarious. “Unalive yourself” bro what does that even mean

On sites where you're not allowed to say "kill" or "die", instead of using the dumbest word imaginable, "unalive", we should start using mafia slang. "Yeah they iced this guy", "yeah i just wanna take a dirt nap", "yeah you'll be sleepin with the fishes". There's so many better phrases than "unalive"
