Not ridiculously pedantically, of course... but yes

Newspeak was an intentional in-universe conlang designed and handed down by Ingsoc based on "how you speak affects how you think" (which is a hypothesis that has... some kind of name). This is a bunch of people trivially avoiding automated filtering like it's been done since the first puritan implemented the first world filter.
One of the main differences is that self-censoring seggs and raep and ahh-es or whatever still leaves it plenty obvious what you mean, it just outs you as a Tiktok user. Conceptually word filters are a blacklist whereas Newspeak was intended to be a whitelist with the restrictiveness that entails.
Clear or curate (remove anything political) your watch history, start liberally (hue hue) blocking shit. Install BlockTube. (uBO and SponsorBlock are also a given, just slightly less on topic)

Grave of the Fireflies? Ach Scheiße.
They're trolling, no point feeding the troll.
Shocking.
GoT's final half and definitely last season pissed me off to no end at the time, but in retrospect I'm glad I don't have to care about this anymore.
"We will be GLAD to return when Christians & Those who fear God and HATE evil! Thank ------ You,"
... yeah, that seems about right.
Most of the content I noticed from there was angry doomposting and news. They're not at the same level as the blatantly malicious ones, I just don't want to deal with that shit as having too much of it blared at me bums me out.
Shit like this is why I wish instance blocking dealt with users, too
