how censorship fails. (a social comentery. read b4 replying.)

now , this post isn't about this site in particular. i understand it is a 13+ site, but about social media in general.
some phrases i myself have seen on this site are dih and gooning.
youtube has phrases like unalive. if
i feel like even looking back in history, i know i am not aloud to discuss that on here, i'll be very vague but throughout history people have made up terms only they and there group understand, one example i think i can discribe is how back in the day gay men were not aloud in the US military. so, the term "freinds of dourthy" became a way to tell people who were also gay that you were one of them. the military found out and were freaking out trying to find out who Dorothy was, only to find out they weren't real, and just the fictional girl from wizard of oz.
from what i've seen on here and online and in history in general, people always come up with new phrases for things, i'm not expressing my opinion on the matter. just saying what i've observed. if you made it this far, thanks. and no. this isn't an attack on mods. i know someone will go there, this isn't that kind of post. -
Mhm. I agree with this.
This new, ''slang'' is actually starting to get annoying for the most part.
for example, skibidi, alpha, etc etc...Especially at school. I do not want to hear, ''67'' at 7:00am. We are in high school not middle school. like respectfully stfu.

There's always someone who will.

things like skibidi alpha or 67 never meant anything they became "slang" to mock modern slang, none of them have any meaning

ok sorry for mini ranting under your rant

@lewcyyi That's why i said, ''etc etc...'' theres some of those words that actually mean stuff.
But in general, slang like that is starting to get annoying because thats all I hear anymore.

i feel like everyone is misinterpreting this post

honestly the direction that mordern language has taken is not very surprising. it could be allowed that modern slang might just be the filler for a lack of substance to say in general. there is a lot of slang that actually has a purpose (ie to make writing easier/more efficient). but overall a lot of it, in my opinion, is just filler. thats just my opinion...

that would be fair considering how it was moderately hard to interpret this post as it is.

i was talking about how censorship fails bc everyone finds work arounds

and sometimes censorship just gets dumb. i can't say kill on youtube... but unalive is fine? they both mean the same exact thing
-
like, everyone knows what gooning is, that phrase is ok on here, buuuutt if i were to use a similar word i would be banned

@Yanderemenhera oh that makes sense (i read it completely differently)
-
fair

@Yanderemenhera thats the problem with censorship in general. it doesn't change what people actually talk about/actually think, they usually express it anyways. censorship is usually just the best attempt to stop stuff like that
-
my point is, everyone will always find work arounds, like saying pew pew of boom stick as aposed to the three letter word
-
and honestly, yes. i understand this is a 13+ site, but i believe this isn't really work'n but i do not have sultutons to this issue. i doubt It'll ever go away, we'll just make up new words

its just a paradox at the end of the day, it truly is.
