    It’s so awful. Right up there with using euphemisms like “unalive”. I can understand if that’s a trigger for people but if you write “unalive” they’re going to think of “kill” or “committed suicide” or whatever so it just seems pointless. I just want people to use their words. Maybe I’m just too old for this shit. 🤷‍♀️

      Unalive was mostly at first a way to circumvent tiktok moderation and shadowbans, not prevent triggers

        And assholes capitulated. Imagine if nobody had complied with TikTok’s idiotic rule? You think they’d keep standing up for that restriction?

      Are they like reverse zombies? What do these people think undead means?

      Actually unalive kind of makes more sense than undead. But depending on the story, sometimes you have to be fully dead first, so there’s a progression. Or maybe something like “non binary state of animation”? Don’t misanimate my living status, shitlord.
