it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to

nickyflowers replies:
oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?

The term "unalive" is so cringey yet dystopian that I don't know whether to feel embarrassed or concerned when I hear it.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 23 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It started out as a fun way to make light of Disney refusing to allow the word "Kill" to show up in the cartoon adaptation of Ultimate Spider-Man, now when I hear it in a youtube true crime video I want to game end myself.

Yeeted right into the search history of life

[–] dontbelasagne@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

And the ironic thing is that episode literally had deadpool in it. So dead's fine but kill isn't

[–] cactus_head@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

was that in the comics or cartoon?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 24 points 4 days ago

Cartoon, Deadpool leaned on the fourth wall to say "Something's preventing me from saying the k-word, so I guess I'm trying to unalive these people."

It was funny because it was being used to mock censorship instead of being a form of it

I wouldn't worry about that one too much. Death has a ton of euphemisms to soften the concept; "passing away", "transitioning", "going home", etc and so on and whatnot.

My grandpa transitioned, she's now my grandma

Sorry for your loss. On the other hand, congrats

Oooh, a trans-grand-parent!

I'm waiting for that word to become so popular it also gets censored, it'd be hilarious

[–] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 20 points 4 days ago (6 children)

I've got a list of backups:

  • cooked
  • spaced (see The Expanse)
  • inhumed (as opposed to exhumed as one might do in removing a corpse from a grave; see Terry Pratchett's Discworld's Assassins Guild lingo)
  • processed (as one does to food using a food processor)
  • isekai'd (for the weaboos)
  • truck-kun'd
  • terminated (for when the Terminator movies become popular again)
  • old yeller'd
  • returned to sender (until the postal system collapses)
  • X trimester aborted
  • Peter Pan'd (as in, thrown off a cliff and expected to fly)
  • Mufasa'd (or any notable fictional character whose death was a major plot point)

i like the term "zeroed" from cyberpunk as in "they got zeroed" (unsure if that is the correct spelling)

I'd just take them from the parrot sketch.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago

POOLLLYY! POOLLLYYYY!! WAKE UP POOOLLLYY!!! bangs the parrot on the table See? He's DEAD!

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago

Worms games have a nice list of expressions for managing kills (or drowning)

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 5 points 4 days ago

As a Pratchett fan, I have to say unalive <> inhumed; since "unalive" = dead whereas "inhume" = kill

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Old yeller'd hits different

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Most of these have clear other meanings that wouldn't work being turned into a substituted for killed or died
