I love hearing increasingly tortured euphemisms for death, murder and suicide because people don't want to get flagged by bots looking for advertiser-unfriendly content (hexbear.net)

Lol one time I made a baseball joke on Reddit and got permabanned for it. The ~~king pedophiles~~ admins know us well.

I forget the name right now, it's like casual geography or something who does animal fact youtube stuff and his are pretty good, especially because it's applied to nature. Hearing what a young gazelle needs to do not to end up with their face on a t shirt or whatnot is pretty funny.

I'm not saying using colourful euphemisms for death isn't funny, I love wordplay. It's just depressing when people start doing it subconsciously because of shitty algorithms that don't even work because people will indeed just sidestep them by being creative

He's a fun exception and shitty algorithm is probably a part of why but you could get there just by being funny too. I'm generally anti-euphemistic language as a common use, harsh terms are needed to describe harsh subjects.
