Maybe it is, I don't know. These distorted standards from the mainstream websites, and wierd social etiquettes have made thinking and writing my own toughts feel wierd, I'm literally censoring myself. What an interesting world we live in.

Yeah, can relate to that

I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like 'unalive'.

Language naturally evolves over time but I really don't like the idea that it's being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!
