Its happening with "killing" or "dead" being subbed for unalive too. I don't inherently think its bad, just culture moving forward and changing how it always has. "Its simply unexamined social conditioning where they see their peers do it so they do it too never questioning why" Thats just society, friend. Why does anybody do anything?
I'm 36 and don't understand plenty of young people's shit now, but that doesn't inherently make it scary or bad. I don't really have a point here I guess, except that we should strive to not be the old men who yell at clouds about "those damn kids." Life and time marches on, things change, and thats fine. 🤷
Unalive etc came about as a way to skirt TOS violations and demonitisation.
I'm aware, but it's made its way into peoples vocabularies IRL as well.
