It’s weird were treating certain words like voldemorts name but even weirder we all just agree on a really stupid sounding alternative that everybody knows means the exact same thing.
It’s like it isn’t the concept of suicide that people might not like, it’s just the literal word itself apparently.
And now how long until you need another word because unalive just means suicide.
I know this is dangerously close to chuds arguments on why slurs aren’t a biflg deal cus it just keeps getting changed but at least those are over a longer time frame and actually have the intention of changing the meaning and context of a term.

People don’t beat around saying “suicide” because they’re not trying to trigger anyone? It’s a way of getting around censorship. Tiktok has history with hiding videos that talk about serious mental health issues from the algorithm (they even shadowbanned the word “depression” so people were using “d3pr3ssion” or some shit)
Sometimes people even self-censor while being intentionally triggering, for example they know if they said “kys” their comment would get filtered, so you might see people saying “unalive yourself” or “keep yourself safe”
Yea the unalive things a great example.
