Apparently kids have been saying “unalive” in way more normal contexts too, not just places where you’re trying to avoid bot censors. Like, using it in essays because they think it’s a more formal way of saying it kill, like “dead” vs “deceased”

(There’s certainly a chance this is made up and I’m sounding like the weird chuds who think there are litterboxes in classrooms and if that’s the case whoops)

I genuinely wish there was a way to pressure advertisers to knock that shit off. God I hate that word so much. Please just let people say kill I don’t want to hear unalive anymore it sounds so stupid.

That one is just longstanding AAVE, “do be” is a present progressive meaning something like “has been frequently known to be”. “He do be working” therefore is like “He has been working a lot lately”.

I just find it incredibly depressing there’s a generation growing up whose vocabulary is being directly influenced by Google’s bots

It’s just so fucking grim. In 10 years everyone is going to talk like they’re trying to trick ChatGPT into saying something naughty

Wait why would there be litter boxes in classrooms? Why would they be allowed cats? Do people think that’s how kids are getting

potential trigger i think

‘feminized’?

That wouldn’t even be a good way to do it.

the classroom litter box thing was something a school experimented with in case students needed to pee during a school shooter drill. Chud media circulated a story claiming that it was to accommodate “furry” students who identified as a cat and didn’t want to use the toilet.

Something dystopian about being trapped in a system that runs on mass death but expects you to talk about death like you’re a character in a children’s cartoon

You’re not allowed to be aware of the spectacle. It’s a crime. Dropping your mask of passive acceptance to fall to your knees and scream “The spectacle! The spectacle!~ it’s all the spectacle!” in the middle of hte streets is illegal because it’s bad for quarterly profits

In the original Japanese, there are some real instances of “sent to the shadow realm”, but many more of death, so the 4kidz dub changed it wherever possible to something sending you to the shadow realm instead of killing you, and left it ambiguous in most of the remaining cases.
