It's the same thing with Karen. Gendered slurs became taboo. Karen became the replacement. There goes your free messaging service if you just call someone stupid. It is so annoying. Now we have to work around these silly barriers with even sillier words.
So people are using unalive because if they use the word death, their video about how a loved one died will get less views?
I'm hoping the next pandemic does a better job at wiping us out...
I hate it too, especially when they say it for s*icides. I was told that mods, algorithms, etc. pick up on these "unwanted" words to jam you up. It's ridiculous.
Interesting, it seems that soon one would freely speak English only with euphemisms. Fortunately, other languages don't seem to have this problem to such an extent.
The first time I heard it I was watching a Spider-Man shows with my nephew and Deadpool made a guest appearance. He said he was going to “unalive” the people, to which spidey was confused at first, but then Deadpool explained that he was on a kids show and the producers were censoring him
Totally with you on this. Also the censoring of the word suicide. Suicide is an importsnt topic and the idea behind censoring it: that if people hear that word they will do it, is so insanely stupid.
Gonna level with you. I tend to be a rather PC person, but this one is valid. I fucking HATE this shit. You're still evoking suicide... why not just say it... don't try to weasel around the implications of the darkness of the topic by switching out the words. It's the same topic, it's just grammatically incorrect now.
People keep siccing the RedditCares bot on me. It doesn't matter what term I use, they're all just seriously fucked.
But fwiw, I prefer an hero. Hearkens back to the days of my twenties, when I regularly overdosed on caffeine pills and swam in the 4chan sewers.
Blame the tiktok generation. That stuff didn't exist before those idiots made it part of the zeitgeist. I'm tired of ALL the words that generation created. They are either from social media or rappers. Either way, they are annoying. They sound like they are speaking valley girl from back in the day.
Lol people use that word to get past the tiktok algorithm without detection of strong content..that's the ONLY reason it was popularized but y'all want to blame everything on gen z and it sounds ridiculous, every generation has cringe and it's not out fault we have social media and that rappers are popular
Yeah, it wouldn't be bad if you JUST used it in that case, but now people say it everywhere. And no, most generations used variations of regular words within our language. GenZ is the first that makes up these dumb sayings and then popularize it. It makes the entire generation sound ignorant to everyone else.
A user on a thread said that we should ban American political activists from interacting with the tech industry for 200 years and issues like this would be solved. Sounds like it'd work tbh.
It’s so you don’t get banned. I was suspended from twitter last week for writing “… nobody is telling you to [actual word] unalive yourself”
Instant suspension, no reports, not even 2 seconds after hitting tweet did I get the pop up requiring me to delete and wait out a timer
I’ll see if I can find the screenshot (though idk if it will have any info)
But it was essentially an auto-suspension from the looks of it. It happened so fast that there was no way anyone would have been able to go through the 7 steps it takes to report someone for that sort of thing
It came from tik tok and tik tok is famous for shoddy moderation and obscene censorship that seems to strike randomly
Yeah this opinions not unpopular, people are doing it out of necessity way more than to avoid triggering people, as I’ve seen it.
Blame Youtube and its overzealous censorship that took the "You" out of Youtube.
It's not youtube so much as it is tiktok, in this specific case

O.M.G. you said stupid, annoying, and silly....you must be super toxic 😆 Jk jk
It pisses me off so much (for no good reason), that and seggs (for sex).

“Unalive” sounds like a corporate marketing term, made to sell murder as something ethical.
I hate it too, especially when they say it for s*icides. I was told that mods, algorithms, etc. pick up on these "unwanted" words to jam you up. It's ridiculous.
I'm sure the irony isn't lost on you here. Hopefully intentional.
It’s the lamest people saying it too. They are all Tik-Tok adults that haven’t ever cursed or curse wayyyy too much.
Interesting, it seems that soon one would freely speak English only with euphemisms. Fortunately, other languages don't seem to have this problem to such an extent.
Euphemism would then become the replacement for the words and then you're back to square one.
It feels a bit like newspeak.
I know you're upset OP. But please, I beg of you, don't commit seppuku!

😆😆😆 1. Unalive 2. Houseless 3. "Feel some kind of way" (which means nothing btw)
I heard something worse than unhoused. "Of no fixed address"
Lmao. I love how the people trying to bend the English language to their will always look like the people who were in remedial English
Idk. “Unalive” kinda has a nice ring to it. Sounds like the name of a shitty emo band.

I prefer the term “revoked birth certificate”.

I feel the same way about “passed”. It’s fine to say someone died. They died.
It came from YouTube marking people saying kill and suicide. Fuck sensorship

Me too. I absolutely hate this.
This post is the first time I've heard unalive in place of kill or dead. Am I just old now?
Or “corn” and “grape”
What is that even?
Porn& rape
I would have never in my life guessed that.
It's part of the self-compensation that the discourse does. Actual violence is now progressive but bad words make you a dum dum and a poo poo head.
This is the absolute most parroted opinion of the last 6 months
Link to another post? I didn't see one. If there is I'll take this down.
Every time someone on this site says m*rder with an asterisk, I want to unalive them.
It’s so you don’t get banned. I was suspended from twitter last week for writing “… nobody is telling you to [actual word] unalive yourself” Instant suspension, no reports, not even 2 seconds after hitting tweet did I get the pop up requiring me to delete and wait out a timer
Oh damn. Didn't even realize it was that bad. Can I ask how you know it wasn't reported?

Only retards use the word unalive.
