i’ve heard people say “slimed” instead of “shot” in reference to charlie kirk getting shot to death, and that feels like something that wasn’t created just to circumvent tiktok censorship.
It’s not disconnected from people typing sht or fck when on their own time and their parents aren’t reading.
You’re a grown adult, if you want to say fuck, say fuck. If you disapprove of swearing, don’t use it. But don’t pseudo-expunge your own language. Thomas Bowdler isn’t watching.
