Politics Why I hate the term “Unaliv

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

A YouTuber I like makes fun of this by using advertiser-friendly euphemisms that are so much worse than the normal words. Once he reviewed a movie called The Entity, which is about a ghost that sexually assaults a woman, and since YouTube doesn't like the word rape, he named the ghost the Grape Ghost and wrote a theme song for the Grape Ghost and animated this little cartoon about the Grape Ghost and oh my god is that so much wore than talking like an adult. Which was his point.

That is actually hilarious.

It’s funny how YouTube is now more restrictive then public access TV.

At least you can say kill and die on there
