From what I understand it’s some kind of self-censorship people are engaging in on major social media platforms in an attempt to stop posts with potentially ““problematic”” words being demoted. It leads to this sort of stupid arbitary brushing out of words.
I blame both the platforms for having shitty algorithms designed to whitewash everything, and users who are absolutely obsessed with engagement and likes on their posts so they censor the shit out of so many words. If you have to censor words like “die”, “kill”, “fuck” “nazi” etc. then there’s a big problem.
Fuck big tech, fuck advertisers, and fuck influencers.
The Tik-Tok inspired use of unalive has seeped beyond the boundaries of the app. It drives me crazy when people say that in real life. The dystopian vibes really start to hit when censored online jargon bleeds into IRL. For the sake of pushing past it - it makes me want to kill myself.
biologically no, but socially white supremacy is very much a thing and so is race. Israelis can be of any race therefore a blanket statement of racism against them is nonsensical since Israeli is a nationality not a race
It’s to try to stop brigading on other social media. There’s credible evidence that points to bot farms searching for anti-Israeli/Zionist posts and targeting them.
Is it racist to censor out the word Israeli? Fucking bizarre

It’s pretty florking stupid and makes me want to unalive myself.

It does give off Ministry of Truth vibes from 1984…
I’m sure you’re right. I was thinking “not allowed” but yeah those fucked algorithms are behind everything now. Agree, fuck those three groups.
Israeli isn’t a race last time I checked
There were no human races last time I checked. It’s strange that English is still saying people are a certain race.
Because the meanings of words can shift over time, and in English, the word “race” now has two different (though slightly related) meanings.
Well, three, if you include car races…

What the fuck does it matter? The last I checked, taking a flippant joke as serious and literal is pointless and just makes you look bad.
maybe try being funny next time
Lol the refrain of people like you: iT wAsNt FuNnY
Your comments scream “I’m really into Reddit”
