Yea because gen z invented the concept of slang 🙄 Don’t even get me started on the dumb shit millennials used to say.

Sewer slide? Is this a butt thing or am I missing something?

I get it only in the sense of being annoyed at the constant censorship of dark topics. But I am only annoyed by that because then when a video essay is made about a some horrible crime the narrator has got to say some dumb shit like “sewer slide” in the middle of a morbid and dark video!

It’s because many platforms censor words like that, dumbahh

Anyone else instantly think of the Grapist from that WKUK sketch, when they start talking about grapes cases??

Blame Youtube and platform that ban these words tbh.
This shit started because youtube is so sensitive with demonetising content that used no no words, cause apparently when a child learn the word suicide, they will run to the kitchen and slit their throat or something.
Then these people are so used to hearing creators using these words, it slowly turns into its own slang that people use everywhere.

Gen Z idea, not fault. It’s the weird guidelines, so big companies can just stick to cheap ai moderation
PrincessWiggleButt on
This isnt slang so much as avoiding words that get flagged on social media. Still annoying. There are plenty annoying Gen Z slang I’m sure.

Unc really think we use these words. These are just to get past the algorithm. No one actually uses these when talking.
Balnom on
I blame social media for this. You get censored for speaking the real words.

What’s the issue with the word unhoused?
The_Soggy_Greenbean on
I love that people are already doing this to the younger generations. This one isnt even their faults. But we act like each generation doesnt create its own slang. Then the older gen acts like its the first time in history its happened. Then add in that this was caused by demonetization from the corpos and we want to pretend its weird. Lol

I’m a Gen Z and I had no clue what sewer slide was or meant until this very moment. No wonder why my generation catches so much flack.

I’m pretty sure their plan is the same as every other degradation of modern communication…keep doing things the way they want until everyone else gets sick of telling them they’re wrong. We haven’t truly lost unless we start doing it, too.

Sheesh. Gen Z didn’t come up with this. It’s just sofa king stupid to assume it started with Gen Z.

You do know they use those to avoid having posts censored or removed, right? Some sites absolutely do that and this avoided it.
Sincerely,

We do this cuz its censored and against the rules on social media.

They had to adapt because they no longer have freedom of speech. If they don’t change how they speak, they go unheard.
Don’t hate the player, hate the algorithm.

As usual, the people to blame are corporate asshoels obsessed with keeping things clean for advertisers rather than teenagers and young adults

This is so stupid and you can only blame platforms like YouTube and tik tok for this

Its older generations fault for being fucking wussies that are scared of little bad words in their media that boomers are taking to extremes
I literally don’t comprehend anglospheres pathological phobia of swearing
HeartAche93 on
Blame ad revenue companies. They police what words can be said on platforms and then viewers adopt them as they naturally do in every generation.
It’s the old rich fucks who own everything that makes them need to self censor.

I’ve gotten soooo many bans for simply talking like a real human being, it’s fucking nuts

Sewer slide is kind of funny though, but only if you use it ironically. But yea, everything else is very dumb.
godlittleangel6666 on
On the flip side, whining about the next generation using lingo you don’t like is also pretty pathetic.
I find it annoying sometimes, but so did the previous generation with my generations lingo as well.

Blaming Gen Z this is like blaming millennials for participation awards.
In other words, OP, stop being a dick and maybe look into things instead of pulling a boomer.

I know it’s going to blow peoples minds, but Gen Z will be turning 30 next year, you are referring to Gen Alpha’s and “online influencers”
ZOEzoeyZOE on
Caring about how someone chooses to sensor a word seems more childish imo.
So they don’t wanna say Rape, Suicide, Homeless, whatever.
It’s not a big deal as a lot of ppl make it out to be.
yeeto_burrito2007 on
You mean Gen Z, who grew up in the digital age and uses the most popular platforms the most, find ways to bypass different restrictions like having your content hidden or demonetized? No way!
bangbangracer on
Don’t blame the people for this. Blame the social media platforms. All the platforms suppress anything that uses the real words, so now we have “algospeak”, and algospeak loves to slip out into the real world.

wtf is sewer slide?
paclaicidian on
You see the thing is, a lot of people complain about these words but in most cases it’s not like you can say the actual version due to dhitty platform censorship and TOS. If you say something like suicide on some platforms, you’ll get your comment secretly hidden. And for yourubers, they don’t make any money.

It’s to avoid shit ass ai detection that automatically bans you based on keywords.

I feel like a lot of it comes from tiktok, right? Tiktoks TOS is super strict with those words that people had to make work arounds. I definitely agree it’s ridiculous, but for the most part- blame tiktok lol.
