I've literally never heard the term "algospeak" before and it sounds,. .terrifying? I recently finished 1984 by George Orwell and it genuinely reminds me of the term Newsspeak (fictional language used to censor and control people in the book) Dk if this means anything but to me, extreme censorship on other sites like u described just comes off as freaky and dystopian. |

I strongly agree with this. As much as trying to avoid triggering people (which is what warnings are for), saying 'subsitute' words as you mentioned, "grape" and "unalive", it only feels like your desensitizing the true meaning and the impact it's had on so many individuals! They've suffered through mountains in pain and we can't even say the real word for it? "But if it might trigger people, it might scare kids!" Well they need to know the truth whether it's uncomfortable or not. Having people grow up used to the 'subsitute' words will never help them truly feel the intensity of reality. And yeah, people might complain, "It's just a word, let it rest, it's not that deep." Well, unfortunately for you, I don't think you'll never realize how deep it is. It is that intense. |

I think people forgot that the only reason to use words like "unalive" and "grape" is simply to bypass the censorship, so your video won't get taken down. There's no reason to use such language in real life or on sites where your post won't be taken down for that language even then, do they know what an asterisk is?? by RayFromTheNet; ; Report |

"but think of the children..." social media is 13+. if parents cannot tell their kids about mature topics theyre bound to come across on the internet before letting them on the internet it isnt my job to treat every post i make like a sesame street episode. im about to post a bunch of blogs about chainsaw man and mfs will say "think of the kids" like it wasn't TV-MA to begin with.
