I was telling my mom about how I started listening to your podcast and how I loved it and she goes "Ben is the hyper squirrelly kid with the pescetarianism right?". When I tell you I dieeeed!!!
unalive is the most uninspired euphemism for death. perished, passed, shuffled off the mortal coil, pushing the daisies, deceased. not hard, speak like an intelligent person.
Yeah but 'unalived' is usually used specifically for when it's a murder, like "They killed him" turns into "They unalived him". Most of the euphemisms for murder are a lot more violent
This is actually an issue on tumblr, a lot of people on there use content filters that block certain words, but if you say unalived instead of suicide obviously those filters are gonna miss it and show people content that they don’t want to see.
Honestly its really annoying seeing posts I dont want to see, and put in blockers to not see the posts as they are sometimes triggering or just uncomfortable to read. I think people need to just use the real words😭
I genuinely agree with everything aside from tone tags because it really depends on who’s using them. Tone tags were originally created for people with asd and other forms of neurodiversity to be able to communicate more easily without misunderstandings idk if that made sense but yeah I still agree that it only needs to be used where necessary and not after every single sentence
Yeah the way I see them is that I (as an autistic)only use them when it could be mistaken. I know as an autistic I don’t get my tone across well, I have bad anxiety a lot about people being annoyed because I’m a big people pleaser and making sure people know that I’m correcting them in good faith is important, and also so that I can interpret correctly and not get annoyed at someone for something they were being sarcastic
I used to try listening to all these podcasts, but because they were so long my short attention span couldn't last 10 minutes. Your podcast however keeps me listening for the entire video Tysm for being entertaining, your vids truly make my day:)
@@an0606it’s not that my attention span is 10 minutes, I just get really bored listening to most podcasts and stop before I’ve even listened to ten minutes of it
i agree with so much of this, i love ben and hes brought me lots of comfort especially bc he can express the feelings and opinions i cannot. With the tone text symbols such as /j /srs etc i use for ppl only bc me myself hates the fact that txt has no tone. i either use that or emojis. the thing “seggs” ive used once or twice as a joke in a group chat cus the context made it funny but that’s all. those are my thoughts on it
Ok saying L dollar bean is kinda funny if used sparingly but when just reading le$bean it bugs me just use the actual s 😭😭 it's not going to make any difference
20:35 A mosquito flew by me at this exact moment and I "unalived it" then and there. As the sound of the clap resonated in my studio, I heard Ben go "oh, a little fruitfly". Felt unreal.
I’m autistic and I use tone indicators for actual accessibility needs, I’m not able to pick up on jokes that may seem obvious to most people. I think that a lot of people think “this joke was so obvious why’d they add the tone indicator it made the joke not funny” and they don’t realize that some people will actually need that. Tone indicators are so prevalent in my life that me and my friends actually use them in texts and whatnot to avoid confusion. It also felt a little off when you said “jokes are funnier with a little confusion/with the gullible people missing the joke” because I have spent 90% of my life confused because I don’t get social cues and I don’t need that to bleed into my online life. Also not all people are gullible because they are “stupid” some of us are just disabled!! Love your content 🫶
@@gh6stz I’m saying every video it’s always that one person or bunch of people claiming to have something too or been abused too etc. to feel included telling their personal business or a family members, when I bet a lot of it is made up.
The funny thing to me is that while I'm AS/HFA too, I find that NTs are the ones who are typically unable to distinguish jokes from serious intent unless I exaggerate my tone of voice and make some OTT face like Groucho Marx in order to convey the humorous intent.
I thing sometimes too, it's really hard to thing though, I actually have a disability called "thingatitus" it makes it extremely harder to thing sometimes.
As someone who can't read sarcasm or get jokes the /srs or /j is important to me so I understand, however sometimes it's super obvious if someone is joking or not, people sometimes ignore them, and sometimes I don't even know which one to use. Other than that I think they're really helpful, and jokes are supposed to be funny, but they cannot be funny if I'm confused.
I’m not sure about TikTok’s rules around shadowbanning disabled ppl (ect) but it’s still a thing with Instagram. I just interviewed with them & explained extensively why their monetization policies are harmful & unnecessary when it comes to limiting monetization if you post something “polarizing” about disability. For example, you could say “all buildings should have ramps for disabled ppl,” and it COULD very well be polarizing, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad statement. It means we have a lot of work to do. Another policy limits monetization if you show “explicit” content about bodily functions, but several disabled creators post things like that strictly for awareness. and example would be a person posting how catheters work & why they are necessary. Another example could be someone showing their stoma. Their body may look or perform differently, but it’s not unhealthy or bad. It’s just the spectrum of human/bodily diversity. IG shouldn’t limit ppl who just ✨woke up like this✨ and simply decided to show themselves on camera. So, YES Instagram still does that but I’m not sure about tiktok. They seemed receptive to what I was saying though & hopefully they will change it soon.
/srs and /gen are tone indicators that help specifically autistic people who struggle with reading others emotions already on a day to day, but now they have the added challenge of doing it through a screen. i brought it up to my bf who agrees that using tone indicators would help a lot of confusion and prevent a lot of arguments. he doesnt like having to read between the lines and try to figure out what im actually feeling and i dont like being misunderstood. its just easier for us to use tone indicators in text
@@nateeeeeee Especially since they mean the exact same thing so what's the point?! I've recently heard "pew pewed" used to describe being shot - infantile and absurd!
hi Ben, just wanted to let you know that as an autistic person tone indicators can be very helpful, especially when people are being sarcastic as i and many other neurodivergents struggle with tones of voice both in person and online.
Yeah! I don’t believe I’m autistic myself, but I know someone that uses tone indicators (sometimes even out loud!) and I use them back, it’s not a huge chore or anything, and I personally don’t really see Ben’s issue with it :/

FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT!! death, sex & more are all normal things that people do and go thru 😭 its not the end of the fucking world if someone says the word
my drama :), me and my bestfriend are pretty much sisters and are inseparable, this girl from one of our previous friend groups started hanging out w us and at first we didn’t mind she’s nice and all but over time we started to notice how self centred she is (literally only ever talks ab herself or makes our problems ab her) but it’s not like we are just going to say “stop hanging out with us” bc we obviously don’t want to hurt her feelings but at the same time we really just want her to stop she is so toxic, we rlly need ur advice Ben 😭 sorry this is long lol
In your mind, it's going to sound bad because you're making it sound bad lool As long as you word it correctly, then all should be okay It's pointless and will only cause more harm to all you guys to continue it And will just hurt more And besides, you should *always* call people out on their bull when it comes to harm But ofc, it doesn't have to be in a way you're being toxic either But, you don't have to completely isolate her if you don't feel it's best, you could always talk about it and *then* isolate *if* she continues If not, then you can just let her know the problem in a polite way, and how you hope for her the best but you guys don't feel it's best to continue being friends Hope all goes well/is well ! And hope the best for you and your bff And sorry that that happened -- always is disappointing smh
my drama (kinda): i have these two friends, they used to hate each other and always said mean things about each other. that lasted for a while but then one day they became friends. now they barely ever talk to me, they hang out without me and it makes me kinda sad, idk what to do. 😕 ily ben, i already listened to this podcast earlier
Have the same shit happening to me, these 2 mfers are online all the fucking time but only respond to me once a month if im lucky. They tell me “if you ever need to talk im here” but after someone in my music circle killed himself they only responded a month after

And with all the old episodes I just relisten and fall asleep to them. I love this podcast so much it's really helped me through some rough times ❤❤❤
im neurodivergent (autistic + adhd) and tone tags were invented by neurodivergents , for neurodivergents . and most people who use tone tags Are autistic . tone tags are very necessary for a lot of us . most of the time , when people use tone tags in EVERYTHING they say , they’re probably autistic (or , they’ve been asked to use tone tags more , and they wanted to do so) .
i don't wanna come across as a fucking keyboard warrior or anything, but as an autistic person I do find tone indicators (/j, /srs, /gen) pretty helpful when talking to people online and stuff. however I do agree that there's people online that's use them excessively. for example if someone said smtn like "I love cats! /gen" like that's fine and dandy but it couldn't have been taken differently tone wise and therefore didn't need the tone indicator because neurodivergent people aren't dumb. I personally only need them when someone is being subtly sarcastic or saying smtn like "I hate you. /j". I also think that (given they're not excessively used) tone indicators can be needed in online posts, because while I could hypothetically go into the comments and ask about it, that in a way singles me out and it would just be nicer to read it and understand it the first time like your average neurotypical person would. when used correctly, tone indicators just make neurodivergent people feel less different and help someone like myself understand people's tone when that help is needed. ^-^
I saw someone using /rq for rhetorical questions in a video essay which just confused me because people don’t hear “or is it?” in a video and write an essay answering the question and then realize and have to delete all their hard work because they didn’t understand
Quick reminder though, tone indicators (/srs or /j) are made for autistic people to understand tone as it's difficult to tell social cues. It is difficult for us sometimes, and while I don't always need them, it is a comfortable reminder.
I hate these words so much...not only is it weird to say in a video or real life, but they treat the actual words as unholy gospel that should never be said. But yeah death, suicide and sex are gonna be things that happen. No use trying to censor it
I feel like there is one good reason for ‘algospeak’- I’ve been in a few dark places in my life where i wondered if life would be better off without me, and when talking about it, it’s too hard for me to say ‘suicide’, so I say “quitting without saving” because humor is how I cope and I think it’s kind of funny. Obviously I would never say “did so and so quit without saving??” if someone did kill themselves, but when I’m talking about myself it’s fine.
I've never liked slang talk, especially nowadays when new words come out and I have no idea what people are saying. Being a writer, I just prefer to use normal words when talking. It makes conversation less confusing. "Unalive" doesn't even make sense as a substitute for dead. As far as trigger warnings go, yes it's good to be sensitive sometimes, but you are going to come across things that make you uncomfortable, but that's part of being out in the world. You just have to learn to not let those kinds of things bother you if they do cross your path. Unfortunately, the world does not conform to how each of us would like it to be and we can't expect other people to always be sensitive to what might trigger us or get upset if we hear or see certain things.
this is so real oh my godddd. I think the only thing that doesn’t bother me tooo much? The tone tags /j stuff. I personally don't use them but a lot of autistic people do cause they don't understand tone. I'm autistic aswell and I've had my fair share of meltdowns cause I don't get tone, but tone tags are still on thin ice for me.
i dont think tone tags should be considered “thin ice”.. theyre used to help people who struggle with tone, as you said, and i understand you not using them (i don’t either), but saying theyre on “thin ice” is just weird to me idk?? this isn’t meant to be hostile or anything just putting it out there :^)
I don’t know why but when Ben says any curse word or really any word that’s considered “bad” (I,e: body parts) it just makes me laugh- it’s just his annunciation of the words is so entertaining and I love it-
oh my fricking gosh. you are so fricking right. i am literally unalived by ben’s funniness. and dude… i can’t believe you actually said……. seggs…. my bad, my bad. my posts have been getting shadow banned recently and I’m pretty sure it’s because I said CR@P in one of my videos. ugh. i’m such a baddie.
Its crazy how I've heard people use the word "unalive" in real life conversations. Like bro, this is real life you don't have to worry about getting censored
Thank you. I didn't realize the "unalive" shit is so old. I just started hearing it in videos. Videos about books, Fantasy books, with Death as a character. And the word Death is not said. It drives me crazy. I am just glad I am not alone feeling so annoyed.
I find it so hard to focus on something and I never really watch TH-cam or podcasts as I find it difficult not to get bored or distracted but your videos are so entertaining and are like some of the only videos I can sit down and watch without having to do something in the background
31:30 that's why I never make group chats or introduce people or let my friends add anyone else to a group chat or something we're doing alone, because it always ends up destroying our friendships
It is sad to see this trend. TH-cam used to be the wild west where you could be real and be yourself and talk like how you talk in real life. Now people are scared to say things that are said on cable tv sitcoms. The way the tables have turned...
24:08 tone indicators (from what ive seen) are for people with autism because they cant understand tones well (im not autistic, i looked this up and i am NOT saying this is correct for all people with autism) so they need stuff like /j, /srs, ect.
This because I’m neurodivergent and often have trouble with tone. I don’t always need it, but it can help especially with others who have it worse than I do
@ahqeeef this is exactly what I was talking about in my comment on here! Because of stupid people trying haphazardly to get around censorship, words have been ruined. I bet you can’t even say grape without them thinking of rape, or PDF file (THE BOOK FORMAT!!) for child molesters!
no hate cuz i love u ben, just giving more info: tone tags were invented to help neurodivergent people who struggle with understanding tone. i myself am included in that group and was happy to see it get created but because the Internet is the Internet they got taken too far. And I agree that it should be everywhere because I understand the point about that the joke is the tweet is up to interpretation but it’s more reasonable created and the fact that it did help people in real life including me.
exactly! theyre used in text in cases where tone might not be clear, but it's definitely annoying when theyre mockingly used, used excessively, or used in irl speech
bro u say things everyone thinks about but they dont bring it up and its not just typical stuff its like really specific shit like idk why but its so entertaining to see it like being worded out from another persons perspective anyways us fans have unconditional love for u u ate wit this podcast
I had a similar rant about this a few days a go. People really need to stop say unlalived, if you let other people control your speech its not just gonna mess with how you speak but also how you think. 0:46 Why didn't just you say the full world if your opposed to it? 7:04 Of curse the WP can say those words, their an elite chosen run company who are privilege to say what every they like. Their not tethered by rules meant for non inner circle members. 11:08 Trigger warning's are not useful and are just as damaging to peoples minds as also algospeak is.
DRAMA🤞 So I’m trans but not out(to a lot of people)and not transitioned so I look like a girl, most people who don’t know call me she and I don’t get upset unless I’m out to them. My friend who is ‘friends’ with these two girls(we don’t like them at all)told them I was trans just because I come up in conversation sometimes and my friend doesn’t want me being misgendered. I don’t even know these two girls that well btw, never done anything bad to them. My friend said that they would misgender me all the time even after she told them I go by he/him and when they would actually call me the correct pronouns they would say it sarcastically..I also have classes with them so I want to confront them really bad but I’m a little scared because I’m just like that😢
I'm sorry to hear 🙁 that's always a hard N complicated thing to deal with it's fr not that hard man -- the same way it wouldn't be hard of me to use "he/him" for them like ? have fun being uncomfortable ya'll !! but seriously -- I get disagreeing with it, but I don't understand the hatred for the people -- hadn't we practically gone over this with history of people wearing things that others disagreed with (and heck even got arrested for ? {from what I remember}) If you can, considering you want to, perhaps try finding them online and doing it that way ? And if not, perhaps you can ask if you can confront them together with your friend if you feel that'll help ? And if not that either, then maybe if there's a trusted adult around ? (unfortunately seems rare when it comes to these kinds of things though) If none of those, then I hope you get the courage And if not or if you do but they don't stop, then unfortunately you'll just have to try your best to cope with the bad of the world N us peeps who aren't like that'll be here to respect you I'm glad to know you have a friend Bit weird they hang out with them though ? sounds they should distance themself from them -- especially as knowing that stuffs only hurts But yeah -- hope for the best for you and your sitch 👍
I don’t find saying unalive is necessary, like unless you’re uncomfortable with the actual word or you’re talking to someone you know is uncomfortable with the word….. just say died or something similar
I think the whole algo speak thing is completely stupid most of the time and honestly probably worse to use for trigger warnings. Like I use tumblr lot and a big thing on there is NOT censoring things like that because people filter these words out. Put a trigger warning at the start or something and say what it is if you want to trigger something (just sayiong trigger warning does nothing because you're not warning anyone of anything). Also it feels like it takes away from the seriousness of things like suicide or rape (when ppl say grape) and even if you would get shadowbanned would it not be better to push back and use it anyway? With tone tags, though (the /j, /s, /srs, etc.) I understand them a lot more and i use the myself. I don't think they're entirely necessary every time you make a joke, obviously, but they're kind of useful especially ig r autistic or struggle with social cues or the tone of something may appear different to what you intended. By that I mean if you're trying to say something lighthearted that may come across as rude otherwise or if you're trying to compliment something or you're trying to make a neutral statement that may come across differently (I don't mean backhanded compliments or statements those are different) that it can be helpful, but again, I don't think you need to use them everywhere. If you're talking about something serious I think that's enough (in most cases) to get your point across especially if it's a sensitive or serious subject. (yes ik this is a year old but i wanted to say smth anyway)
@@sylvia-mae-bombkitty yeah. Especially when like you're trying to make a lighthearted comment it doesn't come across well over text/written a lot of the time and that can make a joke just get lost completely because there's nothing to indicate that u didn't rly mean it

Fun fact: “unalive” first appeared in a spiderman comic featuring deadpool. It was a joke on how deadpool didnt know what he was allowed to say in a comic for kids
“Bad” words aren’t really that bad (though people still think they’re terrible) so there is no good reason to censor them. I have been yelled at by grown men for saying the word “damn”, one of the least “bad” swear words, One of my biggest pet peeves is when grown men get mad at me for swearing, because it’s not really bad, swearing is not some terrible thing that should never be done ever, people just think it is because they were taught that growing up, they were taught lies growing up. You ain’t gonna catch me dead sayin’ baby language like “frick”, “heck”, “dang”, “gosh”, “poopie”, I both very pissed and embarrassed when I have to censor my language and cringe whenever somebody uses that language, especially irl.
Personally I have an actual phobia of the f word due to a bad experience, when someone uses it I genuinely feel like I'm dying. I like people that take the time to skip that word and don't see alternatives as "baby" like whatsoever
When I was a kid, I didn't like hearing or saying words like dead, life, or live. It made me overthink about things, so I didn't like to talk about it. But even so, I never said unalive and stuff like that. I just did my best to never mention that stuff, unless for school.
I love your channel so far because it’s raw and not censoring its self like it’s for babies, I’d say kids but scholastic books for 8 year olds have less censorship than current TH-camrs somehow

wtf ?? who does that -- I hope you're doing okay that's not overreacting -- in your mind, it's something different -- and in the person's mind, they were clearly thinking of something different as well unfortunately, there'll *always* be people who'll think something like that so, as long as they're not telling you to change something that's bad (something that's not harming you or anyone else), then whatever they say shouldn't matter because there'll always be that *one* person who's unhappy with *something* about you just focus on being a good person, and you'll hopefully be okay 👍

I used to try listening to all these podcasts, but because they were so long my short attention span couldn't last 10 minutes. Your podcast however keeps me listening for the entire video
Tysm for being entertaining, your vids truly make my day:)
Thats crazy
if your attention span is about 10 minutes how do you pay attention to class or study and books and stuff? (Im just genuinely curious)
@@an0606it’s not that my attention span is 10 minutes, I just get really bored listening to most podcasts and stop before I’ve even listened to ten minutes of it
i agree with so much of this, i love ben and hes brought me lots of comfort especially bc he can express the feelings and opinions i cannot. With the tone text symbols such as /j /srs etc i use for ppl only bc me myself hates the fact that txt has no tone. i either use that or emojis. the thing “seggs” ive used once or twice as a joke in a group chat cus the context made it funny but that’s all. those are my thoughts on it
no because “le$bean” is STILL popular and i’ve heard it irl too 😭😭 PLEASE JUST SAY LESBIAN I PROMISE ITS NOT A BAD WORD LMFAOOOO

I know someone’s gonna say “ That’s creepy “ It’s a joke for whoever gonna comment that
I love how Ben is so straight to the point about things in any topic. Also, he thinks of the smartest things to talk about on this podcast.
I’m autistic and I use tone indicators for actual accessibility needs, I’m not able to pick up on jokes that may seem obvious to most people. I think that a lot of people think “this joke was so obvious why’d they add the tone indicator it made the joke not funny” and they don’t realize that some people will actually need that. Tone indicators are so prevalent in my life that me and my friends actually use them in texts and whatnot to avoid confusion. It also felt a little off when you said “jokes are funnier with a little confusion/with the gullible people missing the joke” because I have spent 90% of my life confused because I don’t get social cues and I don’t need that to bleed into my online life. Also not all people are gullible because they are “stupid” some of us are just disabled!! Love your content 🫶

The funny thing to me is that while I'm AS/HFA too, I find that NTs are the ones who are typically unable to distinguish jokes from serious intent unless I exaggerate my tone of voice and make some OTT face like Groucho Marx in order to convey the humorous intent.
i thing tiktok has made people forget that they are their own person, like you have free will to say whatever you want
i think people on tiktok say what they want to say...

As someone who can't read sarcasm or get jokes the /srs or /j is important to me so I understand, however sometimes it's super obvious if someone is joking or not, people sometimes ignore them, and sometimes I don't even know which one to use. Other than that I think they're really helpful, and jokes are supposed to be funny, but they cannot be funny if I'm confused.
As someone with autism, I need tone indicators.
Me too
I’m not sure about TikTok’s rules around shadowbanning disabled ppl (ect) but it’s still a thing with Instagram. I just interviewed with them & explained extensively why their monetization policies are harmful & unnecessary when it comes to limiting monetization if you post something “polarizing” about disability. For example, you could say “all buildings should have ramps for disabled ppl,” and it COULD very well be polarizing, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad statement. It means we have a lot of work to do. Another policy limits monetization if you show “explicit” content about bodily functions, but several disabled creators post things like that strictly for awareness. and example would be a person posting how catheters work & why they are necessary. Another example could be someone showing their stoma. Their body may look or perform differently, but it’s not unhealthy or bad. It’s just the spectrum of human/bodily diversity. IG shouldn’t limit ppl who just ✨woke up like this✨ and simply decided to show themselves on camera. So, YES Instagram still does that but I’m not sure about tiktok. They seemed receptive to what I was saying though & hopefully they will change it soon.
/srs and /gen are tone indicators that help specifically autistic people who struggle with reading others emotions already on a day to day, but now they have the added challenge of doing it through a screen. i brought it up to my bf who agrees that using tone indicators would help a lot of confusion and prevent a lot of arguments. he doesnt like having to read between the lines and try to figure out what im actually feeling and i dont like being misunderstood. its just easier for us to use tone indicators in text

you also type these profane acronyms simply because you've seen a bunch of other people suddenly doing it, and you think it makes you look like you know what you're doing, a "know-it-all" ;when you're really just a brain dead copycat; blinded by society and the system.

But, you don't have to completely isolate her if you don't feel it's best, you could always talk about it and *then* isolate *if* she continues
If not, then you can just let her know the problem in a polite way, and how you hope for her the best but you guys don't feel it's best to continue being friends

im neurodivergent (autistic + adhd) and tone tags were invented by neurodivergents , for neurodivergents . and most people who use tone tags Are autistic . tone tags are very necessary for a lot of us . most of the time , when people use tone tags in EVERYTHING they say , they’re probably autistic (or , they’ve been asked to use tone tags more , and they wanted to do so) .
i feel you like JUST SAY THE WORD i get if you don’t wanna get banned but YOU ARENT GOING TO GET BANNED IN REAL LIFE😭😭
ppl are just chronically online
Yeah it’s porn on twitter & they still use these words lol
i don't wanna come across as a fucking keyboard warrior or anything, but as an autistic person I do find tone indicators (/j, /srs, /gen) pretty helpful when talking to people online and stuff. however I do agree that there's people online that's use them excessively. for example if someone said smtn like "I love cats! /gen" like that's fine and dandy but it couldn't have been taken differently tone wise and therefore didn't need the tone indicator because neurodivergent people aren't dumb. I personally only need them when someone is being subtly sarcastic or saying smtn like "I hate you. /j".
I also think that (given they're not excessively used) tone indicators can be needed in online posts, because while I could hypothetically go into the comments and ask about it, that in a way singles me out and it would just be nicer to read it and understand it the first time like your average neurotypical person would. when used correctly, tone indicators just make neurodivergent people feel less different and help someone like myself understand people's tone when that help is needed. ^-^
THIS!!!!!!!
THIS ^^^
I saw someone using /rq for rhetorical questions in a video essay which just confused me because people don’t hear “or is it?” in a video and write an essay answering the question and then realize and have to delete all their hard work because they didn’t understand
Quick reminder though, tone indicators (/srs or /j) are made for autistic people to understand tone as it's difficult to tell social cues. It is difficult for us sometimes, and while I don't always need them, it is a comfortable reminder.
I get so excited when Ben post's. I'm glad your

Hi
gotta get that rent money somehow
I hate these words so much...not only is it weird to say in a video or real life, but they treat the actual words as unholy gospel that should never be said.
But yeah death, suicide and sex are gonna be things that happen. No use trying to censor it
I feel like there is one good reason for ‘algospeak’- I’ve been in a few dark places in my life where i wondered if life would be better off without me, and when talking about it, it’s too hard for me to say ‘suicide’, so I say “quitting without saving” because humor is how I cope and I think it’s kind of funny. Obviously I would never say “did so and so quit without saving??” if someone did kill themselves, but when I’m talking about myself it’s fine.
yeah, i have friends that also have trouble saying that word, and thats totally okay. are you doing better now?
@ yes I am, dw
@@wannabewyvern yay glad to hear that:)
If youtube makes you censor some words bc there are kids,then why does youtube kids exist?
honestly i don't know why they went that route either
yt kids might be worse for kids than normal youtube and that's ironic considering its name
I've never liked slang talk, especially nowadays when new words come out and I have no idea what people are saying. Being a writer, I just prefer to use normal words when talking. It makes conversation less confusing. "Unalive" doesn't even make sense as a substitute for dead. As far as trigger warnings go, yes it's good to be sensitive sometimes, but you are going to come across things that make you uncomfortable, but that's part of being out in the world. You just have to learn to not let those kinds of things bother you if they do cross your path. Unfortunately, the world does not conform to how each of us would like it to be and we can't expect other people to always be sensitive to what might trigger us or get upset if we hear or see certain things.
this is so real oh my godddd. I think the only thing that doesn’t bother me tooo much? The tone tags /j stuff. I personally don't use them but a lot of autistic people do cause they don't understand tone. I'm autistic aswell and I've had my fair share of meltdowns cause I don't get tone, but tone tags are still on thin ice for me.
what really sucks is when people misuse them and just completely destroy the point of them existing
i dont think tone tags should be considered “thin ice”.. theyre used to help people who struggle with tone, as you said, and i understand you not using them (i don’t either), but saying theyre on “thin ice” is just weird to me idk?? this isn’t meant to be hostile or anything just putting it out there :^)

Thank you. I didn't realize the "unalive" shit is so old. I just started hearing it in videos. Videos about books, Fantasy books, with Death as a character. And the word Death is not said. It drives me crazy. I am just glad I am not alone feeling so annoyed.
I find it so hard to focus on something and I never really watch TH-cam or podcasts as I find it difficult not to get bored or distracted but your videos are so entertaining and are like some of the only videos I can sit down and watch without having to do something in the background

It is sad to see this trend. TH-cam used to be the wild west where you could be real and be yourself and talk like how you talk in real life. Now people are scared to say things that are said on cable tv sitcoms. The way the tables have turned...
24:08 tone indicators (from what ive seen) are for people with autism because they cant understand tones well (im not autistic, i looked this up and i am NOT saying this is correct for all people with autism) so they need stuff like /j, /srs, ect.
This because I’m neurodivergent and often have trouble with tone. I don’t always need it, but it can help especially with others who have it worse than I do

no hate cuz i love u ben, just giving more info: tone tags were invented to help neurodivergent people who struggle with understanding tone. i myself am included in that group and was happy to see it get created but because the Internet is the Internet they got taken too far. And I agree that it should be everywhere because I understand the point about that the joke is the tweet is up to interpretation but it’s more reasonable created and the fact that it did help people in real life including me.
exactly! theyre used in text in cases where tone might not be clear, but it's definitely annoying when theyre mockingly used, used excessively, or used in irl speech

So I’m trans but not out(to a lot of people)and not transitioned so I look like a girl, most people who don’t know call me she and I don’t get upset unless I’m out to them. My friend who is ‘friends’ with these two girls(we don’t like them at all)told them I was trans just because I come up in conversation sometimes and my friend doesn’t want me being misgendered. I don’t even know these two girls that well btw, never done anything bad to them. My friend said that they would misgender me all the time even after she told them I go by he/him and when they would actually call me the correct pronouns they would say it sarcastically..I also have classes with them so I want to confront them really bad but I’m a little scared because I’m just like that😢
I'm sorry to hear 🙁
that's always a hard N complicated thing to deal with
it's fr not that hard man -- the same way it wouldn't be hard of me to use "he/him" for them like ? have fun being uncomfortable ya'll !!
but seriously -- I get disagreeing with it, but I don't understand the hatred for the people -- hadn't we practically gone over this with history of people wearing things that others disagreed with (and heck even got arrested for ? {from what I remember})
If you can, considering you want to, perhaps try finding them online and doing it that way ?
And if not, perhaps you can ask if you can confront them together with your friend if you feel that'll help ?
And if not that either, then maybe if there's a trusted adult around ? (unfortunately seems rare when it comes to these kinds of things though)
If none of those, then I hope you get the courage
And if not or if you do but they don't stop, then unfortunately you'll just have to try your best to cope with the bad of the world
N us peeps who aren't like that'll be here to respect you
I'm glad to know you have a friend
Bit weird they hang out with them though ? sounds they should distance themself from them -- especially as knowing that stuffs only hurts

I don’t find saying unalive is necessary, like unless you’re uncomfortable with the actual word or you’re talking to someone you know is uncomfortable with the word….. just say died or something similar
That really only applies if it's like a family member or friend who has been killed or died - in which case you say "Has passed" for formality sake.
I think the whole algo speak thing is completely stupid most of the time and honestly probably worse to use for trigger warnings. Like I use tumblr lot and a big thing on there is NOT censoring things like that because people filter these words out. Put a trigger warning at the start or something and say what it is if you want to trigger something (just sayiong trigger warning does nothing because you're not warning anyone of anything). Also it feels like it takes away from the seriousness of things like suicide or rape (when ppl say grape) and even if you would get shadowbanned would it not be better to push back and use it anyway?
With tone tags, though (the /j, /s, /srs, etc.) I understand them a lot more and i use the myself. I don't think they're entirely necessary every time you make a joke, obviously, but they're kind of useful especially ig r autistic or struggle with social cues or the tone of something may appear different to what you intended. By that I mean if you're trying to say something lighthearted that may come across as rude otherwise or if you're trying to compliment something or you're trying to make a neutral statement that may come across differently (I don't mean backhanded compliments or statements those are different) that it can be helpful, but again, I don't think you need to use them everywhere. If you're talking about something serious I think that's enough (in most cases) to get your point across especially if it's a sensitive or serious subject.
(yes ik this is a year old but i wanted to say smth anyway)
I typed saying wrong ignore that btw
@@sylvia-mae-bombkitty yeah. Especially when like you're trying to make a lighthearted comment it doesn't come across well over text/written a lot of the time and that can make a joke just get lost completely because there's nothing to indicate that u didn't rly mean it

no fr and they think saying these substitutions irl makes them considerate or whatever like just say words, nobody is gonna cancel you irl if you do 😭
“Bad” words aren’t really that bad (though people still think they’re terrible) so there is no good reason to censor them.
I have been yelled at by grown men for saying the word “damn”, one of the least “bad” swear words, One of my biggest pet peeves is when grown men get mad at me for swearing, because it’s not really bad, swearing is not some terrible thing that should never be done ever, people just think it is because they were taught that growing up, they were taught lies growing up.
You ain’t gonna catch me dead sayin’ baby language like “frick”, “heck”, “dang”, “gosh”, “poopie”, I both very pissed and embarrassed when I have to censor my language and cringe whenever somebody uses that language, especially irl.
Personally I have an actual phobia of the f word due to a bad experience, when someone uses it I genuinely feel like I'm dying. I like people that take the time to skip that word and don't see alternatives as "baby" like whatsoever

I feel like saying “unalive” might be some people trying to be respectful but imo it’s just such a silly word and less respectful than saying dead
I know, just say smth like "Passed away" or "Life was taken" Way more respectful and you won't sound like a 5 year old.
When I was a kid, I didn't like hearing or saying words like dead, life, or live. It made me overthink about things, so I didn't like to talk about it. But even so, I never said unalive and stuff like that. I just did my best to never mention that stuff, unless for school.
10:18 and I’m gonna eat it with some meat and carbohydrates, it tastes awful because it’s part of the human body.
8:33 me when the person i possessed gains consciousness for 3 seconds
15:40 ben you didnt have to give an audible description 💀
fr like do people really think we're so sensitive that we'll literally have a stroke whenever we hear an uncensored word like JUST SAY IT
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THIS
This is exactly why I'm not on tiktok, it's a stupid platform and if people take this shit into the world, they need to grow up.
i will never use "unalive himself" or "sewer slide" i WILL use "ended it all"
I love your channel so far because it’s raw and not censoring its self like it’s for babies, I’d say kids but scholastic books for 8 year olds have less censorship than current TH-camrs somehow
my drama: so today was my first day at work with my twin and my colleague wanted to differentiate between me and my twin. they just called me fat because i’m a bit chubbier than my twin. i’m very insecure with my look so this sent me to the edge :( i told my parents about it and they just said i’m overreacting because my weight is normal but i still can’t stop thinking about it.
wtf ?? who does that --
I hope you're doing okay
that's not overreacting -- in your mind, it's something different -- and in the person's mind, they were clearly thinking of something different as well
unfortunately, there'll *always* be people who'll think something like that
so, as long as they're not telling you to change something that's bad (something that's not harming you or anyone else), then whatever they say shouldn't matter because there'll always be that *one* person who's unhappy with *something* about you
just focus on being a good person, and you'll hopefully be okay 👍
@@tranquillrainbows9493 thank you so much for your kind words!! i will definitely will remember your wise words! i’m still trying to embrace and accept how i look :)) thank you for making me feel better and valid
@@ar1sah
yayy !! super glad to hear !
If it helps and if you can/don't already, try to find things that you feel suit you and your body -- that helps a ton
And ofc not in an obsessive way, let yourself be comfortable N wear comfortable things (and omg some cute comfortable clothes I b seeing -- just💖) it's not fair to always need to dress up
Just make sure whatever you may decide on, it's for you and you only and that it's not harming anyone ofc (including yourself)
and yk -- no matter how you look, judging based on this interaction you seem like a nice person
N that's what makes one truly shine -- at least in my eyes (always that one person who'll be happy with something !!)
I hope for the best for you and your job ✨
@@tranquillrainbows9493 AWWWW THAT’S VERY SWEET OF YOU im tearing up 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 you’re a nice person yourself and thank you for making me smile through our short conversation!! i’ll keep your advice and your kind words in my mind

My dad does a lot of stuff with war games. He runs board games at our local library or museum sometimes. Back in 2022, when Ukraine got invaded they started calling the games stratedgy games. I can understand why, but they still say it, but It confuses people, and does not portray what the games are as accurately as war game does.
the way ben got really stressed out while talking about this show how much it bothered him hdhdjdk
Ive never understood the word censor. Like is it like a trigger? My bff once said “R@c1st” like pookie no one else is gonna see our chats
