It's CRAZY how newspeak is actually becoming a thing because of the TikTok/ social media algorithm. People are now saying unalive, grape, and similar; changing the word and lessening the severity of what's being said. People are being desensitized to horrors happening because what they're hearing doesn't sound horrific. We shouldn't censor these words though. They're uncomfortable to hear because of how disgusting and deplorable the actions being described are.
