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

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?
I’m waiting for that word to become so popular it also gets censored, it’d be hilarious
I’ve got a list of backups:
Worms games have a nice list of expressions for managing kills (or drowning)
i like the term “zeroed” from cyberpunk as in “they got zeroed” (unsure if that is the correct spelling)
Old yeller’d hits different
As a Pratchett fan, I have to say unalive <> inhumed; since “unalive” = dead whereas “inhume” = kill
Most of these have clear other meanings that wouldn’t work being turned into a substituted for killed or died
