broke: asking kids to post less annoyingly
woke: putting up with how kids post because time inevitably marches on
toke: using the internet less
I'm completely fine with my inevitable obsolescence, I just think it's fucked up that language is changing to be more friendly to advertisers
Isn't the intent to be less friendly to advertisers? A brand doesn't want to be associated with suicide. So people say "unalive themself" instead, which carries the same meaning as "suicide", thus making a mockery of the attempt at censorship
And this is achieved by implementing lazy automated word filters because actual content moderation would be too much work. The end result is that people internalise the presence of these filters and continue to speak like they're present even when they're not on TikTok, etc. It's just incredibly fucking bleak
Ah yes the famously filtered "laugh out loud"
Why would rolling on the floor be filtered
I'm deleting this entire shit I think I'm having a stroke
hang in there.
