> Shitty English like "to unalive someone" isn't particularly disturbing I find it disturbing that certain words become verboten, so people swap them out with sarcastically infantile euphemisms, then that language becomes increasingly normalized outside of those platforms. I was looking up a local court case and found some true crime video covering it using this language. Hearing a detailed, lurid account of a horrific crime presented in a professional tone but peppered with infantile euphemisms was extremely unsettling. We’ve always had this to some extent, with reporters using language like “he called them the n-word” but it just keeps getting ramped up. I preferred when they would just say that the details were too sensitive to discuss or something similar.
