Unalive is the stupidest word I've heard. I've seen one YouTube video (about true crime) using this word, and I was thinking to myself: does this word mean what I think it does? And apparently it does. I looked at the comments, hoping that someone would point this out (that this word is stupid) apparently no one was saying anything about it and I feel like that I'm the stupid one....

    Its just a way to get around being demonetized. Its like a child saying frick because they aren't allowed to curse. The word isn't stupid, YouTube is.

    I know it is.. But can't you find another existing word? For example: "to deprive of life". Or slay. Or anything. Unalive is... an adjective. Not a verb. Of course the whole censorship is a stupid thing.

  • I actually only speak proto indo European because evolution of language is bad and wrong. If your true crime video said "deprived of life", it would sound even worse. Goofy is better than pretentious. "slay" would probably also get you demonetized because its a well known and more mature synonym of kill. The entire point is to make a new word, so YouTube doesn't have a chance to ban it.
