    The saddest part is how this came to be. It started with companies not wanting those “words” or “topics” being associated with their product, so advertisers started punishing creators who use these specific words.

    Ok, fair, understandable…

    But, when those topics are inevitably brought up they needed placeholders, so they started using those corny euphemisms.
    The sad part is that, since there is essentialy not a single original thought left in a chronically online teens brain, they started mimicing this language even if there is no logical reason to do so, beside thinking it makes them more parasocialy connected to their favorite content creator.

      When I was a teenager I was told I didn’t have any original thoughts in my head and just wanted to be a gangster rapper because a middle aged shop teacher heard my white ass say “yo”

        Back then, to become someone’s Idol you had to sell out stadiums, now you just need a webcam a mic and a couple of those triangle LED lamps.
