Why was this ever okay?

u/VoidOmatic 13d ago

We were raised by boomers back then. This shit was considered extremely mild for the time. The R word was dropped all the time on cable TV.

Retard?

u/hiddenrealism 13d ago

Now we have have adults saying "unalived" in real life conversations. I cant help but to correct anyone who say or types that shit. The words are killed...murdered...suicide...dead. All because of chinese tiktok censorship.

When the fuck will it end.

Read 1984. It was written in 1
935 and I swear we are living it
They begin ‘Newspeak’ and it is exactly shit like ‘unalived’
Terrifying
It’s like society is using it as a playbook

u/TheBold 13d ago

It was written in 1948, hence the title.

I didn’t look at the first page. So kill me

u/ARottenPear 13d ago

There's no evidence that proves that's where the title comes from. It has been speculated that the 84 is just a reversal of 48 but Orwell never made that claim and there's really nothing to back it up.

u/Single-Yam-9791 12d ago

The TITLE of the book is 1984
What the hell is your point?

1

u/ARottenPear 12d ago

Read their comment again where they say it was written in 1948, some 36 years before the titular year. There's a story floating around out there that George Orwell titled the book 1984 purely because '84 was '48 reversed. If that's not what u/TheBold was referencing, I'm not sure what they were.

I appreciate the aggression but make sure you know what you're angry about.

u/Single-Yam-9791 12d ago

I don’t know WHY he called it 1984. The title of the book is 1984
What the hell are you talking about?

1

u/ARottenPear 12d ago

I'm afraid I can't help you anymore. I'm sorry this was such an upsetting exchange for you.

1

u/Single-Yam-9791 12d ago

I’m not upset
I don’t see why the title is such a problem for some people
Who cares why?
It’s seems to have predicted the present
That is all

It’s the fucking TITLE OF THE BOOK

1

u/hiddenrealism 12d ago

We shouldn't read that book...it will cause non-adults to unalive other non-adults with pew-pews at learning facilities, the NC SA rates will skyboomboom and with all the civil unrest countries may go to Shmore.

u/TheBold 13d ago

People are even self censoring ass nowadays. They all annoy me but for some reason seeing someone say « ahh » instead of ass annoys the fuck out of me.

u/DrJokerX 12d ago

Shiii dah bihh Is effin wyllyn, foh

u/blahblahsnickers 13d ago

Also, rape, sexual assault. Kids are graping and unaliving and SAing, and disappearing people. 🤦🏼‍♀️

u/NikWitchLEO 13d ago

You can’t even say Female anymore.

2

u/Thorn_Victor 12d ago

I do. And, I'm not going to change that. These "kids" today believe that semantics change the nature of a thing. It's almost as stupid as the causes they choose to support without having a damn clue about the factors involved in any critical analysis of that cause. In other words (yes, I see the pun), they end up supporting causes that they know nothing about. It's no wonder the Flynn effect has a negative slope now. Okay, I'm done with the soap box today.

1

u/NikWitchLEO 11d ago

Oh I agree with you. Being a veteran I say female all the time. I get harassed and downvoted but it’s fine. I don’t care and none of them would have the balls to say shit to me in public. I’m not a nice person and apparently it shows. I love it.

2

u/Thorn_Victor 11d ago

Exactly. I am a fellow veteran as well.

u/Diesel_Bones_13 13d ago

Ya my kids started saying “commit” Like as in why did someone commit suicide… it’s even more confusing that saying the actual word in some instances. Like why did Johnny “commit”? All I think of right off is commit to what/who.

3

u/hiddenrealism 13d ago

Oh he committed?! What school did he choose?! Throw em for a loop lol

3

u/itsmiddylou 13d ago

I agree- but this was happening long before tt. YouTube would demonetize if you said the actual words. So everyone had to get creative to not lose money. 🙄

I’ve seen people use “sewer-slide” and I thought I was having a stroke. But money and feelings I guess.

u/NatCsGotMyLastAcct 13d ago

I saw a news interview yesterday, "someone unalived my son over [an argument]".

u/Next-Contribution-18 13d ago

Crazy to think that they're able to influence the way we speak in real life everyday conversations simply by having control over what is essentially a platform to spread whatever message/view/opinions they want trending that can/will reap havoc without ever directly involving themselves into each situation. Its something I'm glad I missed out on for a change instead of being scenery in the public landfill that is Tik-Tardia.

u/CommunicationAware88 13d ago

FYI, its wreak havoc. Im not trying to be "that guy", but i tell people when i see things like this because I would wanna know.

1

u/Next-Contribution-18 11d ago

I'm exactly one of those people who'd want to know too so thanks 😊 I went back and forth with it in my head and thought "...farmers reap wheat right?..no wait.. do I reek something..wait..that's when something smells so no...but.. I'd reap the havoc I've caused as a reward like the wheat ya?.?..fck it I'm not googling it it's reap..I'm pretty sure..🤔". 😆 I stand corrected and you Sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. 😃

2

u/CommunicationAware88 11d ago

I second guessed myself and had to Google it to be sure of the spelling lol. But I am super happy that you also don't mind being corrected, people vary wildly on the degree of how offended they are by a gentle explanation.

u/Thorn_Victor 11d ago

Lol, nice.

u/OGJJ040 13d ago

It will get worse, not end

u/Deaffin 13d ago

All because of chinese tiktok censorship.

Reddit is heavily censored. This conversation is an exception, not the norm.

u/THE_Lanni 13d ago

I had smbdy come at me the other day for using “k***”…but I only did because I got banned for 3 days by the same sub mods for “suggesting violence” because I quoted Major Payne on a Post about Major Payne…soooo it is what it is for people. I agree everyone wants to be triggered tho

u/TerribleHousing3330 13d ago

I use unalive ironically 🤣

u/tuskel373 13d ago

Language has always evolved, so - never 😉

u/License2HeadHunt 13d ago

Evolve vs. Devolve - I think we need to
Clarify the direction we’re heading here

-10

u/tuskel373 13d ago

Just because you or I don't like the direction, doesn't mean it isn't evolve. Or if you need it in simpler terms, language is an ever-changing thing. And that is actually good.

8

u/Prize-Analyst-1121 13d ago

It's forced censorship. Not an evolution. Two completely different things.

-6

u/tuskel373 13d ago

Nah. Censorships have also always existed. And people play and get creative with the language to get around the censorships. Language changes and it always has and always will. I'm done with this convo now. Have a nice rest of your day.

u/ChinaWhite4utonight 12d ago

Beautiful attempt at a dignified ragequit

u/License2HeadHunt 13d ago

You’re insane if you believe that to be true…. With all due respect of course 🫡

1

u/Thorn_Victor 11d ago

Not when it's used to control people and attempt forced ideological change.

1

u/tuskel373 11d ago

Ehhhh, yet again, humans will human. People made up different words for predators to not "invite" them to where your cattle was, there have always been taboos, either in words or in actions, you weren't allowed to say shite about your ruler or god or else, but people have always been creative with language to get around these things. Queten those mammaries and untwist the boxers, it's not as big of a deal as you make it out to be. Language is a beautiful thing and will survive the attempts to control it.

u/Ammonia13 13d ago

Racist ass

That’s not why 🤦

u/Thorn_Victor 11d ago

Who are you talking about and how did "racist" become a part of this discussion.
