One of the nicest things about having your own platform (or as close to self hosted as possible platforms) is that you can, within reason, rant in any way of your choosing. Use the language you want to use. You can say fuck, shit, etc...
Now you also may get flack from it, and thats fine. Thats how the internet always worked. But platforms are now dictating language. And that is not ok. Because we need to talk about serous stuff sometimes, and I dont want to censor my language.
I truly do not get why people get so upset about language changing. It’s always changing, someone at the right place at the right time says a silly word and suddenly it goes viral or some event makes people adopt some word in an unusual context or whatever. Teens come up with their own lingo (because of course they do, they are kids, they need to develop an identity separate from the older generation) and it lives on.
Theres language changing, and theres companies saying “yea you cant say words kill, gun, and suicide anymore because doddy adverts doesnt like it”
The environment forces a change. Nobody is forcing people to use those platforms last I checked. People go in voluntarily and then find new ways to express themselves. Then other people end up adopting the lingo but nobody forced them either. I truly don’t see the issue. If it’s not corporate, it’s some other thing doing some moral posturing that also will force inventing slang so as to avoid some sort of negative consequences.
Asks the person using the word “unaliving”.
I’m honestly not sure of you’re trying to be funny or if you’re dead serious
Asks the person using the word “unaliving”.
Do you think they’re seriously using it? C’mon bud.

YES. I fucking hate when I’m watching a video (on YouTube of all places) and I hear someone unironically use a different, almost-unrelated word or phrase for something entirely different.
Like “unaliving” is the stupidest fucking thing instead of just saying “kill/dead.” Take your fuckin pick too, they’re all just as ridiculous.
