unless you are using words bad for algorithms.
I would much rather have a cw than all of these childish euphemisms for serious things.
It’s so jarring watching something online and noticing the person awkwardly skirting around the most accurate words to describe what they’re talking about.
Just sucks that the chuds just want permission to say the n word and make lazy transphobic jokes.
westoids when china censors racism: this is literally 1984 animal farm totalitarian authoritarian mass genocide
westoids when AlgoCensor by Google (powered by amazon web services) censors words that would make their advertising partners less money: this is true innovation, the market is solving all of society’s problems in the most efficient way possible, take all of my investment money
Some of those that work forces…ARE THE SAME THAT BURN CROSSES
UGH
Unaliving in the name of
You could argue shit like “unalive” and “ahh” is actually prescriptivism since it was indirectly forced onto people because of social media soft censorship, nobody actually wanted to use those words, they just had to come up with something.
That’s the same way a lot of words were developed though. Like the word “fence” to mean someone who buys stolen goods came about due to thieves’ cant, a bunch of words used by thieves and beggars to confuse medieval cops. I think it’s better to say words can adapt to situations rather than saying it’s being forced. A ton of words that were underground slang are now just normal words.
There’s a museum/memorial for Kurt Cobain where they fucking say that shit. It’s gross. Like baby talk or something but for mod filters and now it’s leaked into the real world
Yeah that self censorship is so grating to me, i hate the way that the capitalist surveillance state has reached its tendrils all the way into our daily language
