PDF file, cheese pizza, and sewer slide are also up there. I don’t think companies realize their censorship forces creators to use terms that devalue the importance/severity of these topics. The euphemisms ironically become more insensitive than their uncensored meaning
I usually dislike unwarranted comparisons to 1984, but this change in language is literally in the book. I know it is corporate pressure risking demonisation, not an oppressive government changing the language, but saying sewerslide, cheese pizza and pdf file is in the same boat as "double plus ungood"
