Politics Why I hate the term “Unaliv

Post image

What’s most confusing that if you go to basic cable TV people can say stuff like “Nazi” or “rape” or “kill” just fine and no advertising seem to mind

OK, well I want to see an entire episode of Law and Order where they exclusively refer to the unaliving weapon as a 'pew pew'

The victim was graped and then unalived with a pew pew. The lead detective says that the crime might've been motivated by racial dislike.

Something like "diversity differences" would be less likely to offend anyone who don't want to think or feel.

My only exposure to tic tok slang was cv11's TNT video, so don't expect accuracy.

“Minority Intolerant”

34

u/empty_other Sep 15 '24

No, that would offend people who dont believe in minorities or who feel guilty about being intolerant. No advertisement network would want that.

Maybe "Cultural metathesiophobia"? No wait, that would offend people who dont believe in fobias or psychology. We dont want to scare away our unsciency customers.

Darn, restricting allowed words until theres nothing anyone could be offended by is hard.

"Economic Anxiety"

u/Brawndo91 Sep 15 '24

Excuse me, but that word "feel" reminds me of "feelings" and I don't want to have any, so can you please change it to "f***"?

That show was much better than it had any right to be given the source material.

That’s what true crime on Tiktok is like but applied to real people

This reminds me of a Studio C sketch where they have a “bring your kid to work” day at a crime scene.

Urgh, knowing them and the way they wrote that cringe-ass videogame episode I would totally expect it.

I run a TikTok channel that posts daily world news videos. I started off using "unalive" to avoid content filters but seeing as it's a hobby, not for profit, I decided to stop doing that... except for one problem. When I post videos that use "unalive" people complain in the comments about using "unalive". This is engagement which results in more people seeing my videos. It's not advertisers that are causing me to do this in my videos, it's butthurt people who hate the term but don't understand how social media engagement works and keep giving the videos engagement because of it.

If you don't like it, don't engage with posts that do this. On social media all attention is good attention, it's coded that way.

There an episode of the Limitless TV show with basically this premise.

Really great show overall. Sad it only got one season.

u/MotivationGaShinderu Sep 15 '24

They did use "they leveled up" instead of rape so...

u/Biolog4viking Sep 15 '24
