I know it originally started around 2019/2020 because youtube was going hog wild with making youtube more advertiser friendly, resulting in them shadowbanning a lot of videos that contained touchy words like pedophile and rapist. Resulting in the abominations that are in use today (PDF File and Grapist)
But this isnt youtube, this is spacehey. What the hell are we doing still using that crap here? I refuse to submit to the notion that everyone suddenly became so thin skinned that mentions of these simple words without their babyfied variants will send them over the edge, if anything I think its an insult to pull this slop out of the fisher price lexicon and use them in passing and in serious discussion. Imagine having your family murdered and some slop youtuber makes a vid explaining how someones family got "Game Ended" by a serial "eliminator"
That would drive me up the fucking wall, I'm not off base here right? Let me know if I'm just an out of touch old coot (Eighteen Years Old BTW) because this has to be some kind of societal mix up, again; this shit was born out of pyrocynical softening his vocabulary to maybe get the algorithm to treat him better, not out of a genuine effort to make the internet more inclusive
Yes, some people cannot handle topics like rape and suicide, thats okay. Thats what content warnings are for, content warnings for grape and sewerslide are just insulting and belittling
Again, let me know if I'm geeked and times rlly are a-changing. Yes this is petty, whats spacehey for if it isnt for yapping about petty stuff

I agree full stop.
censoring words like rape, suicide, kill, died, or pedophile and etc, it takes away the gravity these stories have. we need to have these conversations even if its difficult, cause these things do happen.

MY GOD SERIOUSLy
its one thing when kids do it but ive had to tell full ass adults on here they can say pedo instead of p3d0, rape instead of grape/🍇 , etc and no joke i have gotten the reply "those words just make me uncomfy"
theyre not supposed to make you "comfy". theyre harsh words for a reason. rape is a serious issue, suicide is a serious issue, abuse is a serious issue. youre 24, act like it

I, also, notice people censoring sensitive words to "respect" the victims of the topic, but I believe that the topics are important to be clearly acknowledged. Is there really a psychological difference of people seeing the censored word rather than the uncensored word? I just don't understand that, because the censored word is obviously meant to be the uncensored word, so I believe that would have the same impact, but I don't know. I have never seen anyone who is thankful for censored words, I've only seen people who get triggered by hearing about the topic in general, so I don't understand how the censored words would work.
RIGHT?!! like there is NOT a goldilocks zone of people who would be put off by a post that mentions rape and murder but is totally fine with it as long as the bad uncomfy words are replaced with grape and m**d*r
It's one or the other, you can handle the topic or you can't. When you read something, you arent simply looking at words, you're converting those letters and words into a formulated train of thought and if that thought is traumatic then the word that made you think of said trauma makes no fucking difference. It's the difference between seeing Three and 3. Both made you think of the number 3 despite looking nothing alike.

i just saw your comment on another blog that i think inspired this blog so im glad i stumbled across it lol, but yes i totally agree. i think a lot of people use those words because they dont know where it originally formed/fear of their posts being taken down my moderation, but also because society has silently led people to believe you should be shamed for talking about suicide, self-harm, personal struggles, etc. its been like that for a long time, if youre anything but mentally perfect than your ill and should be cast out, which is sad. feeling shame for those topics plays a huge role into why those people never seek help and end up acting upon those ideas. i think people should push harder for those words to be said like any other word, sure it might make people uncomfortable but guess what, its not suppose to be comfortable! its sad, unfortunate, and serious and should be treated as such. i think using those soft cover word normalizes those things into being like "oh just another true crime millennial making cookies and talking about a story"! like wtf? if something ever happened to my love one and i saw some middle aged woman doing her makeup on youtube while using those words i think id loose my shit tbh. thank you for making this blog, cause i couldn't agree more and someone needed to say it!
glad u agree and good to know im not completely wrong, ur spitting when it comes to your segment about society shunning mental issues. This is another form of it, every social seems to be forcing everyone to somewhat shut up about serious and pressing matters by straight up banning the words that are associated with them. this harms the groups of people they say they're "protecting" by shadowbanning people who mention suicide and stuff in their posts and videos.
textbook censorship and its shaping the culture as we speak, I know this is contrived and overdone but its literally newspeak from 1984. We don't say murder, we say m*rd3r. We don't say suicide, we say sewerslide. Your brother wasnt murdered, he was game ended
also, again; cooking with the segment of millennials casually and "quirkily" parroting some wired article about how some super sexy serial killer murdered like 3 families, in their typical blasé le epic bacon fashion. its some weird form of derealization, pretending its all a joke and nothing more than a story, probably born from their le epic trauma. At least they had a solid 10 years of the good life before the housing market crashed
