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

this is the only thing I will be an old man about. I don’t give a shit about “aura” in all honesty but “ahh” “pmo” and “sbyau” genuinely pisses me off

Also, I’ve seen “keys” used in lieu of kys. what the actual fuck man doomer

“pmo” and “sbyau”

I don't really have a problem with acronyms tbh

I have the issue on the sole fact that I had no idea what it means, learning about it and forgetting right after, it’s not as memorable as wtf, lmao and lol to me

That kinda has to do more with brain plasticity than the old acronyms being better or worse though. We don't learn as easily as we used to when we were younger so we forget what the acronyms mean.
