      I just want to know how she was pronouncing it IRL that conveyed that. “Lee dollar-sign be-anne”?

    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.

      Saw this often back then on Reddit. People wanting to curse, but the writing f*ck. If you want to curse, curse. If you think it would be too rude to spell out, just fucking don’t.

        I think that’s mostly when people use speech to text. I know gboard automatically censors words like that.

        For sure. The only time it’s appropriate is when quoting but you can’t use the exact text for whatever reason.

            After, which is really dumb because a lot of artists are spending time making the art only to have to put a black bar over their work for no real logical reason.

            I think they blur ir after. Just Japanese law prevents the showing of genitalia. Not other parts of the body. So only the vagina and penis are normally censored. However is some cases the asshole is censored too but it’s not as often I don’t think.

              Asshole has to be censored when it’s being penetrated afaik, though sometimes they just censor it along with the rest for whatever reason, probably less effort to draw.

      Newspeak is intended to make more complex thoughts impossible. This isn’t newspeak; they’re still talking about the topics, they’re just using dumb filter workarounds.

      Though I do feel it’d be obnoxious to actually talk like this when not needed

        on the one hand, yes. on the other hand, my generation piloted the spoken use of “lol”, “lmao”, and their myriad variations in pronunciation. this strikes me as merely upholding that proud tradition.

          I suppose eventually I’ll come around to accepting it, if it persists. But these are not the same; the intent behind them is different. “LOL” is an acronym, not a censorship workaround. Saying it out loud is purely ironic. Maybe the zoomers saying Tiktokisms out loud is also ironic (I’ve personally never heard it directly), but the reason it exists in the first place is stupid

            At first it was ironic, then it just became a muscle memory response.

            Plenty of people thought text acronyms were dumb and people were even dumber for saying them, even ironically. This is just you being one of those people for the new generation of “kids these days”

              There is no purpose for using the word ‘grape’ as a substitute for ‘rape’ other than to avoid tiktok moderation. It contains the full original word, therefore doesn’t serve any censorship purpose. Using it this way can even recontextualise the word in a way that trivialises SA. It’s harmful, unlike lol or lmao.

          Every generation comes up with new terms that the older generations don’t get. The proud tradition has been going strong since language began.

    Anyone old enough to remember Ren and Stimpy and the episode where they found corn in the dresser? I didn’t realize it was porn…and now porn is actually called corn. I’m too fucking old.

      I loved Ren and Stimpy but I don’t remember whatever episode you’re talking about.

      Do you remember the episode where Ren got split into the two opposite sides of his personality? His evil side, and his indifferent side.

        The kids are creating corporate influenced newspeak that infantilizes serious topics instead of moving to a platform without censorship. Teen slang is great when it comes up naturally instead of because advertisers want to sanitize our thoughts so we only think about consuming products.

    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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

          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.

            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.

      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.
