bc people typing like this make me feel older than i actually am. i dislike the self-censorship of terms such as killing, fuck, etc, and I don't mean that in a chuddy anti-censorship way it just comes off as insincere when people say shit like unalive or whatever. to actually unpack why i hate it when people type like shown in the screenshot - nothing of substance is actually being said, it's just a bunch of canned phrases being used in their context. i understand this isn't representative of tiktok as a whole but it sure as hell is what i associate with tiktok.

Those comments are meant to be stupidly funny for teenagers not have substance lol (tho theyre pretty clever sometimes imo). If you get it you get it (and are also probably terminally online)

The self-censorship is bc tiktok has a history of shadowbanning content that uses certain words
