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

I'm not angry at the kids either, I'm more just despairing thinking about the extent to which human social activity has been captured by giant corporate platforms

Slang is cool. Complying in advance and self censoring words that aren't a big deal isn't.

All it does is crank up the speed on the euphemism treadmill

In that case I'm in complete agreement with you.
