TL;DR: There are two levels of annoyance here. One is the person having to use wanky language to get around censorship. The other is the person who can’t help but take to the comments and complain about it, boringly, and without any attempt to offer solutions. I put it to you, good sir, that person #2 is the one who ought to give his larynx a rest.
Yeah, it’s annoying to see and hear the words “unalived” and “ess ehhed” in place of “murdered” and “sexually assaulted”, but they are not words people use in speech in the real world or even when talking to each other directly online. They are like “LOL”; only demented cunts (or people being ironic) walk around the real world saying “ell oh ell”. No one is running down the street screaming “he’s trying to unalive me, someone help!” Language is doing just fine.
People in the comments under videos which use these terms are incessantly complaining about “brainrot” being the death-knell of language. These people are tedious wankers who need to chill the fuck out and find something else to fret over, like microplastics or fascism. We all understand why these annoying terms are used, and it’s not because the people using them enjoy using them. If they want their content to make it through a blunt and braindead censorship algorithm, they have no choice. We all know this. So maybe shut the fuck up about it? “Unalived” is not a hot new word being used by kids; these words are not changes to the language, they’re linguistic backdoors that allow people to say what they need to say while simultaneously not triggering a censorship bot, and that’s all they are.
And not for nothing, and somewhat off-topic, but literally every generation that has ever existed frets over the youth’s behaviour and the way they use language. Even Plato was whining about it in exactly the same way people do today. This doesn’t need to be a tradition you blindly adhere to. You can choose to not be that old reactionary fuck talking apocalyptically about the next generation and just accept that language is and always will be an organic and ever-shifting entity, and that the only people who attempt to crowbar it into a rigid relational database are grating bores and grammar nazis, or, god forbid, the French.


I don’t think fretting over micro plastics does any kind of good whatsoever. Unless you’re a university scientist facing a funding deadline for a micro plastic study. The average Joe doesn’t have high powered micro scopes with a degree in biology
IMO micro plastics is the latest socieital “Boogie man”.
Yeah just like global warming right?
That’s exactly what someone composed of 10% plastic would say 🤔
