This shit drives me up the wall even more than “unalive”
You can’t stop people saying slurs but an entire generation will subconsciously alter their entire vocabulary because they grew up on corporate platforms with very heavily moderated text chats and comment sections and they ended up internalising the filters
Edit: I was not aware of the AAVE origins of “ahh” which pushes it more towards the territory of legit slang. Still, I stand by my general point about automated moderation influencing language being bad
Yeah I’ve noticed this too, the universal acceptance for the most asinine form of self-censorship is utterly baffling considering the pseudo-libertarian meta of internet youth culture since the internet went public thirty years ago
