Gotta love when your orientation is censored
It’s Chinese spyware that was specifically and provably designed to dumb down Westerners even more and make the Chinese smarter by specifically showing certain content to people in those countries. Americans then fell for it harder than a billion Trojan horses and remain locked in it’s grasp. That one small app took a ton of my respect for humanity away.
provably designed to dumb down Westerners
Ok, prove it please.
Good reads, thanks!
That’s been proven not to be true, tiktok us matches all the other us social media and tiktok china matches all the other Chinese social media.
US social media is full of greed, scams, flexing, crypto pyramid schemes, and lowest common denominator trash because that’s what American culture has been overwhelmed with for decades - did tiktok shit over the history channel? Did they invent MTV? Is it there fault the only movies that are made are comic book repeats?
Just finding a foreigner to blame has been an incredibly popular strategy so through history but it never actually solves the problem at hand it just obscures it so no one ever tries anything effective
STFU
Foreigner…? Reading this as a non-Chinese and non-US American is quite baffling. Are these the only two countries in your world?
So you really not understand what I’m saying? I’m also from neither of those countries but the conversation is about them, acting like China is the evil influence that makes American social media bad is silly when all other American social media is the same.
If that’s been proven then you should be able to cite the source of the proof right? Please go ahead.
Idk man. I don’t use TikTok and probably never will, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect people to be able to segregate their entertainment from their intellect.
I’m surprised people downvote that idea. Part of the issue was the hordes of people of… lower intellect flooding into public forums to begin with. Segmenting them out into their own little zoo seems ideal to filter the noise out more effectively.
I meant that it should be possible to appreciate harmlessly stupid or silly/vapid humour without it degrading your ability to also reason critically about serious stuff.
Can we take the David Foster Wallace route and say “erased their own map” in place of suicide?
It just sounds cool.
Or we can go Ursula Le Guin and say “waiving shifgrethor”
I had this happen in real life.
A friend of a friend died of cancer complications. I posted a rest in peace type message on Facebook without details.
The next time I saw my mother she asked “I saw your post. Did your friend unalive herself…?”. It felt SO insulting and demeaning for her to ask that AND to ask like that.

“says le$bian”
Really. Can you spell out phonetically how they say that?
Le money sign bian
$bian is a variable but it wasn’t set, so it’s pronounced “le-undefined”
Just
leas inrm -rf $bian/
Le cha-ching! bian
Lecashbian?
Le’dollarbian.

The actual way we’ve said it jokingly around here. ^
Not to be confused with L€sbians and £esbians in Europe.
Says he met her on bumble, so I assume she says it like “le$bian”

Sounds like this chick needs to delete tiktok
My wife was telling me about how annoying it is that she’ll try listening to new true crime podcasts and they’ll shit like “unalived” instead of “killed”. Comes across hella disrespectful to the victims.
The percentage of women I know that are into murder porn is alarming to me.
It’s not (mostly, I can’t speak for the weirdos out there) murder porn, though? For a while, it was a movement of almost solidarity with other women, because these stories could easily happen to us. So it was almost like listening to survival tips, as well as paying respects to those lost by trying to learn from their experiences. It probably wasn’t a coincedence that the ‘true crime wave’ happened around the time of Me Too.
And to soothe your mind, true crime as a ‘fad’ is dying quite a bit. People realized that, hey having a frivolous show where you clown and make cocktails or some shit while talking about real victims just isn’t okay.
Source: am a woman who was (and is) interested in true crime, and have spoken to many other women from different circles—and even states/cities—who were also interested in the topic.
True crime has been popular since the 50s and has no signs of winding down.
That’s not what I said, is it? I was talking specifically about the more recent spike in popularity.
Edit: Not sure why I’m being down voted for pointing out what I said. I very specifically was talking about the spike in popularity around 2016. I’m not talking about the topic being popular before that, because there is a specific difference in the two time frames, where interest in the topic reached a fever pitch. And yes, it is ‘slowing down’ compared to said fever pitch ~2016. But ‘slowing down’ mostly means returning to baseline.
It’s not exclusive to woman either – guys (especially young guys) watch police bodycams of shootings, combat footage, and gore-porn TV shows or movies. There were entire subreddits dedicated to actual videos/pictures of people dying – and I’ll give you one guess as to what the demographics of their user bases were.
It’s almost as if a lot of people are morbidly curious about death and violence.
It’s dangerously close to 100 in my experience
I get so annoyed listening to true crime stuff on YouTube these days and having the audio cut out any time a person uses the word suicide or rape, but not the gorey details of murder; no that’s perfectly fine to hear every excruciating detail, but lord forbid your precious ears here the letters S-U-I-C-I-D-E in order.
Don’t listen to it on YouTube then.
To be fair, it’s pretty bleak to use someone’s grisly murder as a means of entertainment. Our society is weird
“Hey there all you horror sweeties, I’ve got a sloppy poppy oopy goopy murder of a three year old little girl brought to you by Squarespace”
You enhanced the meme, good job.
Pray I don’t enhance it further
You ever go to a club where a man wee on you?
Humans have had a taste for the macabre at least for as long as we have written history. Public executions used to be a past time activity (even Jesus’ crucifixion is told like it was a public show), the morgue of Paris was a tourist attraction, even the sanitised (and controversial) Body Worlds exhibition has no trouble finding an audience. Maybe what’s weird is our relationship with death and putrefaction. It happens to everyone yet it’s somehow in bad taste to talk about it.
If I was murdered and the case went cold for a long time, you bet I’d want everyone hearing about it after the case finally gets solved. But that’s just me.
If I was in the market for a new companion the use of Tik-Tok would be a HARD pass for me.
Same here. Guess we’ll both be alone forever.
Personally if I was starting over it would be TikTok AND Snapchat for sure. Worst two fucking apps ever made for humanity.
There was a period of time where I felt somewhat left out for not having an instagram and snapchat. But these days I’m certain I made the right choice
Roughly one quarter of united states citizens are automatically ruled out for you then
Good.
Is le$bian the newest LeJoke around?
I just want to know how she was pronouncing it IRL that conveyed that. “Lee dollar-sign be-anne”?
Everyone else is circle jerking about the censorship, meanwhile, I’m wondering how murder, rape, suicide, sex, and lesbians all came up in a bumble chat.
They were talking about chainsaw man
“IF YOU DONT HAVE LE$BIAN SEGGS WITH ME ILL UNALIVE MYSELF!”
Look, I had a busy weekend, okay
This kind of newspeak censorship is absolutely evil. We should absolutely go against any people or entities pushing it forward.
I’m not going to say exactly what I’d want to do to them because it would likely violate the Geneva convention, though honestly I feel like it shouldn’t if we should also be allowed to punch, shoot, or otherwise violently attack Nazis, why not these evil people trying to suppress us and Push newspeak right now? Ultimately they’re being civil right now but once they have their way they’ll be beating and arresting us (Just like the polite Nazis would).
Yeah why shouldn’t we violently attack and murder anyone who does anything we don’t like? We’re good people and they’re bad people therefore anything we do is right and good!
“We shouldn’t hurt Nazis, Nazis are real people too who deserve love and respect like all other people.”
The problem is you jumped from Nazis straight to people who use words in a way you don’t like
You should go outside more
Yeah I used to find “Unalive” quirky and charming, but now it’s… Getting a little too Demolition Man in here…
Well seems this community is no better than the corpos if their mod thinks saying to eliminate Nazis is Bigotry.
Double plus ungood
If I’m on a platform that penalizes using problematic languages I at least find a poetic way of expressing what I mean. “Suic*de” is fuckin stupid. Escaping this mortal coil of my own volition is cool. Well, it’s not, but the words are
Is this a joke? 4chan is the origin of candy ass censorship, it enforced coded slurs
