"dude they used the rock solid defense of 'this doesn't have to conform to reality because it's a widget' so you can't say that's dumb. It's a widget community! Triple stamped it no erasies!"
this thread must continue, so i present: it's a harmless lie. like seriously. there's people out there doing a billion times worse. why not have some fun, or focus on more important questions in life like if there's enough food in the house? (this is lemmy so you can assume at least 30% of people seeing this struggle with that, me included)
It is you who is making an assumption that I'm mad that it's not the truth. I just think it's kinda dumb and intentionally confusing, at best. That is all.
If only people could accept that English being a living language isn't just about the past, but words are changing now, and that's OK.
This is for the people who gouge their own eyes out when they hear people say "unalived"; the people who (suspiciously) insist on the clinical definition of pedophile; and "it's called a magazine actually" gun-brains.
it wasn't over censorship. It was them choosing to not show children stuff that probably talks about adult themes, like death. Because maybe you shouldn't be talking about blowing someone's head off to children, right? Sane decision.
Then influencers decided they wanted money and more money meant avoiding the algorithm from noticing you talk about adult themes, so they show more users ie children, and kids love watching weird shit especially if it's talking about adult themes. Then you get a bunch of weird fucking influencers talking about people "unaliving themselves" and targeting children viewers
While I agree, I also think we have a responsibility to use language as a tool to be fair and precise. How should we react when for example far-right people start using the word "groomer" about LGBTQ people in general? Should we push back, or nod and say "interesting, this usage is catching on I guess"?
Also SAed instead of raped. Then there is PDF-file.
The reason is more due to the algorithm searching for words to censor, strike, or other reduce the likelihood of recommendation. Not natural language change.
Just an extension of set of reasons for the application of neologistic methods. There'll never be a shortage of euphemisms fading in and out of social consciousness
Even better with more context:
Came here for this. Thanks!
If they've never referenced this in modern Batman, they should. I could see the Joker gleefully talking about his erection.
That sounds like a great Harley Quinn plotline
There's an animated movie about this plot. Poor Batgirl.
Joker truly got the last laugh
Edited. Original panel says 'advice', not dick.
Its a shitpost....
The common refrain, "it's not a lie it's a [near meaningless term]!"
Ah yes, the "near meaningless term" being only the centerpoint of this community, what a great analysis you've provided

Get out of here with your logic and reasoning lmbo
Ironman doesn't seem very gay in this picture. It would be a queer boner to take dick from him.
(Iron man doesn't seem very happy in this picture. It would be an odd mistake to take advice from him)
That particular panel is a hoax.
This is real.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_Ghost#Limbo
so is the Gay Ghost
And I heard he likes to enter through the backdoor!
The writers made quite the boner there.
Hahaha, you couldn't make this up!
bad news
I don't believe you. I think Marvel was around in a time where it was normal for two bros to give each other the D to cheer one another up.
THE AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUO!
"Maybe I do, shellhead." Rogers mused lustfully, "Maybe I do..."
Sam, to old Steve: “You going to stop booty-calling Stark?”
...however, this panel is from 2022.
Yeah, back when Captain America needed some solid dick from an IronMan.
Funny how that particular slang term kind of shriveled up got tucked away.
I'M BROODING SO HARD RIGHT NOW
Yeah right... they're just about to have relations. You can't fool me.
Boomers and their casual insults across all media. Is Captain America not manly enough to accept therapy without insulting his friend?
Where's the frame of the Joker talking about another boner
I mean, read the room bro
It wasn't near the top of the thread when i scrolled. Bro

"Unalive" is stupid NOT because language changes and ree, but because it came about via over-censorship by megacorporations.
This about sums it up. There's a vast difference between a language naturally evolving to fit the times and whatever the fuck 'unalive' is.
Exactly. It is a childish and stupid way of saying killed.
I think you mean "endeadened"

I get what you're trying to say, but no we don't need to be teaching our kids to be afraid of topics like death or god forbid cursing.
ahh!
(that's tiktok for ass)
Can't have our kids being tempted by the pleasures of the flesh, great job!

Oh, then I agree with you 100%.
No, no — see, skibidi is actually a valuable addition to the English language.
What does it mean, you ask?
...
That's right, it sure does. Have meaning, that is.

I think your first two examples couldn't be worse.
Also this post is a fake. So there's that.
