    same reason people say “unalive” and “fuggen” and “child 🌽”… the Internet has become a place for self censoring idiot babies afraid of being algorithmically demonitized/banned

    corporate monopolies of all popular platforms has kneecapped actual free speech by training entire generations to be afraid of violating terms of service, I guess

      Also too fucking lazy to redo the “meme” without censorship (and sometimes, better quality)

      Alternatives:

      “unalive”

      in cases of homicide: “Ended [Person]'s Life”

      or, in cases of suicide: “Ended their own life”

      it bypasses most mainstream censors while maintaining the seriousness of it

      “child 🌽”

      “CSAM” is usually the term that people use these days, I don’t think the term "CSAM is censored
