It is crazy how quickly people accepted censorship. I have literally heard people use it irl and it is shocking that people are replacing words with their approved, censorsed versions, like corn, grape, unalived, etc

In before someone comes along to tell you it's okay that languages evolve and you're just being a boomer, even though it's literally corporations telling us what's marketing-friendly enough for common speech.

This is all I can afford rn but I see you 🏆

It's also not evolution of language, its more akin to cockney slang, code to bypass suppression of it.

I was watching a bodycam video and one of the kids getting interviewed said a person “unalived themselves” to the cop. It’s so weird hearing it out loud

And to anyone who uses/says unalived - you’re weird. lol

In the US*

We swear all the fucking time in Europe lol

Oh we swear all the time in the US. It’s some stupid online thing to censor a word. Drives me crazy. I think it started when FB was sending people to FB jail for the smallest infraction of a word.

I think it started because of TikTok rules but I could be wrong
