To be "unalived" and "disappeared"

Where the fuck did these stupid terms come from and why do I keep seeing them? Have we stopped saying "killed" or "murdered"?

have we stopped saying "abducted" or "taken away"? It's now "He was disappeared"?

Unalived is stupid. Disappeared is like Schrodinger's Cat.

Content filters. They'll hide your posts or decrease their visibility if you use those terms.

"Unalive" was invented to get around automatic censors, usually for words like "kill" and "die", given they're often said online as a threat.

It then became the norm on certain sites, but it's used ironically as well.

I was just conversating with my bro about this.

Unalived only became a term because social media services such as TikTok would shadow ban terms like killed.

"Disappeared" has been around since the 80s at least. I first heard it used in the film The Official Story based on government terrorism in Argentina in the 1970s/early 80s.

They're terms made up by the demented extreme Left.

Well, unalived is. Disappeared refers to people sequestered by the government who were never heard of again.

People love having Chinese spyware on their phones, and the thought of their stupid thoughts not being validated by faceless nobodies is terrifying, so they came up with bullshit alternative words to get around Draconian censorship rules.

"Unaliving Me Softly With His Song" has a nice ring to it.

To disappear somebody has been around since the IRA were in business. Not a new phrase and nothing woke about it.

by Anonymousreply 13August 9, 2025 10:17 PM

"woke" is a pretty stupid word too.
