So I guess the concept of “death” is now politically incorrect, huh. What a time to be alive.
gmtom@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Jc it’s not about “”“political correctness”“” the idea is that social media websites either shadowban or suppress posts that contain content that isn’t advertiser friendly. So people censor swear words or references to death or sex.

Who even gives enough of a fuck to self-censor the central point of the idiotic drivel they posted from the shitter to maximize their impressions? Peak self-absorbedness or what?

It’s advertisers you should be blaming, not “political correctness.”
Advertisers ruin everything they get their nasty little hands on.

They add more and more things to the PK list every day, I stopped listening to it. It’s too stupid.

Why it is censored?
IndiBrony@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ve seen this a lot recently. I’m guessing a certain social media platform is perpetuating this. Not sure if it’s the platform itself taking action against accounts using these words or if it’s the users themselves collectively deciding to censor these topics.
Either way it’s stupid to me how language is becoming increasingly taboo. We need to be more open to discussion not less so.

I watch a news show on YouTube that censored “human trafficking” in an article excerpt. Really stupid to have social media policing news

Tik Tok is the most aggressive. Saying Sex, kill, die or rape at all in your video has a pretty strong chance of getting your post hidden to varying degrees.

What a dumb idea. Not surprised it comes along today when common sense is gone.

The first sentence makes it sound like there was one weight lifting accident at the gym that lasted 17 years.
pagshile@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I took it to mean that there was a stretch of 17 years when everything was fine but then one day, disaster struck.

well, no, over the same 14 years it could be guessed that hundreds of millions of people have died from eating too many donuts across the world
emidio@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
People around the world don’t eat donuts regularly. At least not enough so that hundreds of millions would die of them. Sorry dear usian

Can we get a transcript for visually impaired users? I can’t read this.
Cabrio@lemmy.world 10 months ago
In a span of 17 years 114 people died in a weight lifting accident at the gym.
In the same 17 year time frame only one man died while eating a doughnut.
Life is about the choices we make. Educate yourself.
This transcript was created by downloading and translating the text into a copyable format using Google translate app, if that’s a viable solution for our visually impaired friends.

How many people died of health complications related to obesity in that same time period?
Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Eating too many donuts and bad diet in general have long term consequences that leads to millions of deaths everywhere and every year. 17 years is probably enough for those consequences to catch up to you if you’re doing a particularly bad job of it, but by that time it’s hard to make the connection anyway.
Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Look at Mr doom and gloom here. Don’t lift weights, you are going to die. Don’t eat donuts, you are going to die. Geesh
Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
You misunderstand me. Go lift weights. You have a much better chance of survival.
Kinyutaka@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Mmmmm, donuts.
