    You’d think euphemisms to bypass censorship are only useful for as long a they’re not too widely known. Is using “unalive” functionally any different from using “kill” on any social media platform today?

      unalive can last a long time because he platforms don’t really care about it and just need the advertisers to seem them making a token effort on senstitive topics.

      when it comes to luigi the bourgeois are afraid and motivated to update the filters faster than new euphemisms can catch on even if they must break their sites in the process.
