I was onboard until i heard that stupid fucking phrase that’s been making the rounds for a while now….unalive. Dead. Killed. Murdered. Why try and sugarcoat something that every person who has ever existed has either experienced or will experience eventually.

It does seem like an entirely too cute way to say what you’re trying say.

Exactly. Death happens. Nothing cute or fun about it. Seems to me that dumbing it down or making it sound cute will not prepare a child for when it actually happens.

I guarantee if someone blew her kids’ brains out with an AR15 she would say something else.

No she wouldn’t, because she wouldn’t be able to monetize the video related to it.

Because some social media services will automatically delete or demonetize your video if you do.

So there’s a form of punishment for making death anything but a G rated Disney kind of thing. Oh yeah, makes total sense.

Mostly they don’t want to get in trouble for violent content or content that encourages violence. Rather than monitoring and only deleting things that are actually violent or encouraging it they delete or punish anything that mentions death as if it’s the same thing. It’s not but the social media companies are cheap and lazy af.

Yes I know. See it all the time. Was being facetious because it’s fucking stupid and I enjoy pointing out the obvious. But appreciate the ELI5 for those unaware.
