This shit drives me up the wall even more than “unalive”

You can’t stop people saying slurs but an entire generation will subconsciously alter their entire vocabulary because they grew up on corporate platforms with very heavily moderated text chats and comment sections and they ended up internalising the filters matt-joker

Edit: I was not aware of the AAVE origins of “ahh” which pushes it more towards the territory of legit slang. Still, I stand by my general point about automated moderation influencing language being bad

    I watched a youtube video recently about the GTA games and the dude was self censoring so hard. Wouldn’t say things like “suicide” or “killing yourself” in reference to jumping off a building in the game. Wouldn’t say words like “sex”, “boobs” and “prostitute” when talking about the strip clubs and street hookers.

    It’s fucking stupid
