self-censoring for fear of shadow bans in order to maintain monetization and views feels weird to me. we should say "suicide" instead of "unalived," and call it "sexual assault," not "SAed." these softened terms dilute the weight of serious events, turning them into sanitized words that strip away their impact.

that's a good point. victims having more ways to talk about these types of traumatic events is a good thing. 

i'm really only thinking about content creators who obviously self-censor to avoid shadow bans and demonetization. 

yes AND i do feel this habit has added some value — by removing some barriers that come with the heaviness of certain terms, the conversation can be more open. a victim may be able to say “SAed” first. that said, if one intends to speak about a topic, gravity included, one shouldn’t need to self-sensor

no, we’re supposed to treat the public as though they’re moronic children who don’t know any better 🥹
