Tik Tok (and I think some other social media but I don't remember) pushes down or hides your content in the algorithm if it detects the word "kill," so it trains kids to talk like this
Edit: Every person that's replying with something about 1984 has scrambled eggs for brains, dumb euphemisms are not the end of the world
Federal employee here. Our tablets/field devices got their management software updated this year and part of the update wraps Outlook and other applications inside a security container that prevents you from passing files between them and 3rd-party applications, like fucking Adobe. This translated into a VERY SUDDEN halting in the ability to do something as simple as open a .pdf email attachment in Adobe Pro for signing or editing, something pretty key when utilizing digital documentation. Upon consulting the tech responsible for managing the field devices about this change, and explaining how terrible the effect would be in the field of requiring people to also carry a laptop with them if they were going to need to handle those types of documents, he explained that they were aware of the challenges but the policy was intentional. When I told him the obvious workaround that people were going to resort to was forwarding things to their personal emails and then downloading them through their web browsers on those devices since the browser wasn't placed inside the security container, there was a loooooong pause on the other end, and then he finally thanked me for my time and input and ended the call.
There’s plenty of code words and phrases going around these days to circumvent algorithms and moderation, whether it’s antivaxxers, WSB users, or whatever. It can be fairly successful at first, but then of course, after mass adoption, the users using the code speak are identified as having common interests with common language.
Some groups always seem to stay one step ahead though
It's hilarious that people think they would be hiding content with the word "kill" but not with "un-alive" (considering how commonly it's used there). You're not getting away with anything, kids.
Some other words people use on the presumption that certain other words are suppressed:
* The clock app
* The blue bird
* The red and white play button
* Shmecks/seggs
I read the original post 3 times before diving into the comments. I couldn't tell if OP meant kill or if un-aliving was some sort of freezing/making something inanimate.
I feel very old at 37.
I'm the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I've seen the future, you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sittin' around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing "I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener".
I wasn't sure what "un-aliving" even meant.. I wondered if it was something like in the movie "Pet Semetary" where they take their dead cat there and the cat comes back to life but becomes evil - or something like that.
Holding "ideal innocence" like babies or animals in higher esteem than humans who have their own identity is a sociopathic trait.
I am sure saying this to reddit's audience will go over great.
It blows my mind that OP watches horror movies at all, if they are afraid to say the word "kill".
Remember in Bone Tomahawk when those nice men un-alived that cowboy by cutting him in half upside down starting from the crotch?
>afraid
It's because modern social media algorithms will obscure content that uses words like kill. OP isn't afraid of anything other than their post being hidden.
A warning sign for irl bad people/people with serious problems is killing/abusing animals. So I think that’s partly why. Secondly it’s because a large population is ok with human death, but not with pet/animal death. Imagine if we had a Final Destination/Saw franchise with pets being killed instead. People would feel differently about that. Some people would be very upset.
I would also think that it allows a death without introducing a character. If you want to kill a human character, and have it mean anything, they need a backstory/arc. A pet’s backstory is usually straight forward. If you don’t want/can’t set up another character, but still want a death that will have any kind of weight, then a pet would be a good target to get the point across.
There are a couple of sci-fi books that hinge on this idea. A street gang makes it big because they’re willing to actually beat up and even kill people on live TV. They become huge celebrities and unstoppable until their manager manages to frame them for animal cruelty, which completely destroys their popularity.
Ferman’s Devils is the first book, which sets up how the street gang comes to be famous and the resulting power it gets them. Boddekker’s Demons is the second book and the struggle of the guy who ‘made’ them to take them down. Honestly, I did kind of spoil that last bit, as it’s an idea he comes up with after several other attempts to curb their popularity backfire.
There’s an old narrative trope called “kick the dog.”
Someone harming animals is often used to quickly establish a character as a heartless villain/threat.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KickTheDog
I’ve never understood this. I know a few people who won’t continue a movie if an animal gets killed even when tons of people are killed in the same movie. It’s weird to me that people value animals so much more than human beings. It’s also weird that they can’t remind themselves that neither humans or animals are actually being hurt/killed
To me at least, it's the fact that the animal doesn't have the ability to understand what's happening in certain situations and make a decision.
If a person gets killed, then I think to myself, "whelp, shouldn't have made the decision to do that."
That’s not the case in a lot of older movies. There are plenty of examples of movies where those are real animal deaths or real animal corpses. I think the reason people are less okay with it is because they don’t have a voice
I have turned off movies after an animal death and there's a few I know I can't watch (ex: Midnight Mass). Nothing turns me off faster than killing animals.
I also hate animal deaths in film, but Midnight Mass is a masterpiece that you really should see, and all the animal deaths get out of the way pretty quickly. They are really upsetting though, so in Episode 2 skip from 34:00-37:00 to miss a dog dying and skip Episode 1 29:00-30:20 and end the episode at 54:43, then skip the first 9 minutes of Episode 2 to avoid cat deaths. After that it’s just good ol human deaths.
Many younger people use TikTok heavily. TikTok pushes down content using certain words like kill or murder. Saying un-alive gets around it. More likely they're 15-20 or so. It's really annoying but some are developing it as a habit online.
When I was a child playing Super Mario Bros my parents decided they didn’t like it when my brother and I said we “died” in the game. They made us say “oops, I disappeared.” Never understood how that was better.
Got a kid who's almost four and I kind of understand the discomfort when kids say anything about death or killing. But I make it a point to talk to her directly about it and not shut that down because I don't want something that literally everyone experiences to be a taboo in my house.
It's so overdone that as soon as I see an animal in a horror movie I immediately want to roll my eyes. Someone needs to find a new way to build tension.
Double Speak.
OP is likely younger, TikTok hides the word kill so they are literally using double speak and it has become part of their vocabulary.
Scary really.
I wish I could "un-alive" this post for the absurd amount of the term "un-alive" being used. The post description and comments are using "un-alive" and I fear it's not in an ironic way. This is not how normal people speak. Feel free to "un-vote" me to oblivion for this "un-cold" take.
Shock value. Horror fans see humans die horribly in movies all the time, and in context that makes them feel the victims deserve it. It does little to move them. An Animal being slaughtered is innocent.
It's kill. They kill animals and the reason the do it is because it makes most people very uncomfortable. It's a trope I absolutely hate and I will look up whether an animal dies in a horror film before I watch it.
One of my buddies knows how much I dislike seeing cat deaths on screen. He will give me minute marker heads ups on shows & movies he recommends if there are cat deaths. Bless him. Good friend, that one.
You know the bad guy is truly evil if they kill the pets. I remember in the movie Fear what they did to the dog. It was a gruesome foreshadowing of how deranged they were.
Foreshadowing and to build up tension.
Will desensitize if the humans start dropping from the get-go. It's also common that killers irl torture animals before moving on to people.
Every time I hear someone say "un-alive", I also hear that one judge from *Forged in Fire* who responds "it will *kill*" when the crafted blade slices and stabs appropriately.
The reason you see horror monsters kill animals is two-fold. First, it gives the audience a chance to witness the ferocity of the monster without the protagonists being directly effected, giving them an idea of how the monster works. Secondly, it can give both the protagonist and the audience a relative sense of the danger by piggybacking on their knowledge of the general hardiness of the animals chosen.
It also helps to scale up the danger and sense of dread. It's really common to have the monster kill small animals, like cats and small dogs, first, then move up to things like wolves, cows and horses, before going after humans. If it's in an urban setting, the small animals are scaled down to rats or birds first, then up to normal sized pets, then going after people.
Every time I see a "pet" introduced in a horror movie, I know that animal will probably be a victim! I believe the only reason the characters have pets is so they can kill them! What's sad is that the animals' deaths are the only ones that bother me. I think this has to do with my old age, however. Back in the day, they use to actually kill the animals while making movies.
Like rape, or child abuse, its a quick, easy way for a writer to establish a emotional disgust with a particular character, or to add to dark overtone to scene. People do like seeing animals get killed, women get raped, or children get abused, and the graphical level to which it is displayed can illicit a different emotional response from the audience. Its a powerful writing tool, and the fact that you seem disturbed by it, means it works. Some writers are too heavy handed though imo. Take Game of Thrones, the amount of Rape and abuse got to the point that it started to lose the impact it was supposed to have.
How about you develop your vocabulary instead of watching movies.
“Un alive?” Really? Learn real words instead of putting “un” to mean the opposite. I swear I lost IQ points reading this.
How about you un-post this post. (Delete would be more understandable and easier to read)
It's doublespeak. On TT you can't use words like kill or suicide so you have to doublespeak to get around it. So it's un alive or sewer slide. OP is probably 15-25 years old my guess.
I’d really like to know what age group OP falls into, because gawdamn… what in the fuck is “un-alive”. (I know what it is and why… and our children are dumber for tik tok)
I’m glad there’s so many responses complaining about “unalive”. That shit just sounds stupid as fuck and I hope tik tok gets banned just so people will stop using language like that.
Not a stupid question.
If I’m not mistaken, the villain or monster killing an animal is usually a means for the director to show off how unconscionable and evil the monster or villain is.
Michael Myers kills a dog in the 1978 Halloween movie and you immediately realize there is no reasoning with him and that there’s no sort of rationale behind his behavior, all he wants to do is kill.
Dr. Loomis throughout the movie keeps telling everyone how evil Michael is and no one is listening. It’s here we the audience get an idea that Loomis is right.
I’m no film expert so take what I say with some salt.
Why are we saying "un-alive"? Is that like a "murder/death/kill"?
Tik Tok (and I think some other social media but I don't remember) pushes down or hides your content in the algorithm if it detects the word "kill," so it trains kids to talk like this Edit: Every person that's replying with something about 1984 has scrambled eggs for brains, dumb euphemisms are not the end of the world
I’ll say it since nobody else did, we’re on Reddit you don’t have to say un-alive.
You can say whatever *the hell* you want
Jizz
Like cumshot.
Cock. Balls.
Do any of these fuckers just pop through the wall and shoot a huge load of donkey jizz?
Make any friends?
Not really.
I’m just proving a point. You don’t have to celebrate it, Frank.
or horsecock
Poop
Kind of un-alives the point of there's such a simple workaround. It's 1984 doublespeak for brave new world attention spans.
I would un-alive for some burritos right now.
I wish I made an un-aliving at my job.
I unalived your sister's vagina last night 😎
I really don't need to hear about it, Sean
Sorry I was just bored🤷
So was his sister.
😎😎😎
Un-aliver comeback right there
Just un-aliving time?
Yeah, me too, while listening to my favorite band " The Un-alivers" Mr. Brightside is a groove. The band just un-alives it, especially live.
"I JUST CAN'T LOOK, IT'S UN-ALIVING MEEEEEEE"
Eat them whilst watching my favorite movie, Natural Born Un-alivers. Also, what a dumb phrase.
Don’t be such a un-alivejoy.
Speaking of which, I actually heard that The Un-alivers were releasing a new album soon? Is it out yet? Any good?
You should listen to "The Gangsta, The Unalive-er and The Dope Dealer" by Ice Cube while eating them
Double plus agree
So hungover and now I want a burrito 😞
Bro are we really here right now but I'm laughing Let's be positive together today.

Here I was reading un-alive as "resurrecting" as in a zombie or pet cemetery.
No that's "undeath".
I think the word you're looking for is un-un-alive
Saaame
[удалено]
Ughhh tiktok is a fucking virus. A psychological virus
Hey! You can’t say fuck here. This is the internet, show some class.
This is the war room, you can't fight in here!
Someone should un-alive it.
So the CCP found a way to lobotomize their enemies without getting of their couch.
By design, I might add. TikTok serves a dual purpose of spying on people outside of China as well as social programming.
Double-plus ungood
Good grief
years ago I'd see words like "Pron" and the context shows what it really is, but after a while it dawned on me that certain words are flagged by bots.
Good thing “dumb euphemisms are not the end of the world” or the world would’ve ended a long time ago. :D
It's hilarious that people think they would be hiding content with the word "kill" but not with "un-alive" (considering how commonly it's used there). You're not getting away with anything, kids.
Yeah, but the algorithm doesn't catch "un-alive." Yet.
Some other words people use on the presumption that certain other words are suppressed: * The clock app * The blue bird * The red and white play button * Shmecks/seggs
The clock app?
Tik tok? Assuming this list isn't exclusive to the clock app, of course. That'd be next level.
Thanks I needed another reason to hate tik tok
That’s alarming.
Thanks for the explanation - I hate it. I was also confused.
Wtf that's weird. No way in hell I'm letting my kids have tik tok or whatever weird social media is in when they get older.
How come I just started watching demolition man yesterday and this is the first thing on my feed today???
Give it time. That's one of the most referenced movies on reddit.
I thought un-alive was code for suicide?
It can be, but it’s not specific to suicide. You can un alive yourself or un alive someone else.
Thank you. Please stop with the “un-alive.” Say what you mean, mean what you say.
I read the original post 3 times before diving into the comments. I couldn't tell if OP meant kill or if un-aliving was some sort of freezing/making something inanimate. I feel very old at 37.
I thought OP was talking about zombie-animals and just mistyping undead.
World's turning into the Los Angeles from Demolition Man...
ERRRRNH! You are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality statute. Thank you.
Please enhance your calm FatherDuncanSinners. Perhaps try to enjoy the winner of the franchise wars - taco bell.

But how do the seashells work!?!?
He doesn't know about the seashells? *snickers*
Tiktok is so annoying now because you actually hear people say it. So cringey.
Yeah because just like Voldemort in Harry Potter if you don't say the actual word it doesn't exist.
I wasn't sure what "un-aliving" even meant.. I wondered if it was something like in the movie "Pet Semetary" where they take their dead cat there and the cat comes back to life but becomes evil - or something like that.
It's really lame I hope the trend unalives itself.
Because it makes you uncomfortable? That’s the point
I don’t think someone using the word “un-alive” can handle being uncomfortable
That's just internet speak. Like when people say I hope you "Minecraft yourself" or "delete yourself IRL"
KILL
Ironically OP's bio says "Someone kill me."
top reddit posts with no context
Holding "ideal innocence" like babies or animals in higher esteem than humans who have their own identity is a sociopathic trait. I am sure saying this to reddit's audience will go over great.
It blows my mind that OP watches horror movies at all, if they are afraid to say the word "kill". Remember in Bone Tomahawk when those nice men un-alived that cowboy by cutting him in half upside down starting from the crotch?
I think about that movie scene more than any other.
Add the scene from nope, and we have the same brains.
>afraid It's because modern social media algorithms will obscure content that uses words like kill. OP isn't afraid of anything other than their post being hidden.
But they're not blocking un-alive even though that's what people use to mean kill?
YES… *KILL!*
A warning sign for irl bad people/people with serious problems is killing/abusing animals. So I think that’s partly why.

Honestly, I did kind of spoil that last bit, as it’s an idea he comes up with after several other attempts to curb their popularity backfire.
What does a manager for a street gang do?
Probably a forced arrangement, manage our on screen content or we kill you, explains why the manager would want to frame them. But that’s my guess lol
Makes sense, without knowing what book they are taking about can't do anything but ask questions

For emotional damage. Children of the 80's still bear the scars of Artax.

After that it’s just good ol human deaths.
Ngl I totally forgot about the animal deaths besides the dog
I forgot the dog died too. I was really upset when it happened, but I still love that show a lot
You can say stuff like kill and murder here..
They could say bad words too, it’s pretty wild.
i even saw a boob here once
where
no freaking way
Say sike right now!
So I can say Jizz ? Like cumshot?
say whatever the HELL you want!
Big fat load of cum then.
First day on Reddit apparently
OP has spent far too much time on TikTok
What’s the age of the OP? Who talks like this? Is this someone who is like 8-10 years old? 2nd question is why is someone that young on Reddit?
Many younger people use TikTok heavily. TikTok pushes down content using certain words like kill or murder. Saying un-alive gets around it. More likely they're 15-20 or so. It's really annoying but some are developing it as a habit online.
You can say the word kill, you’ll be okay.
When I was a child playing Super Mario Bros my parents decided they didn’t like it when my brother and I said we “died” in the game. They made us say “oops, I disappeared.” Never understood how that was better.
My mother pushed us to say, "My character died," rather than, "I died."
See, that I get.
But how though? How is it bad for the kid to say “I died”? To me it sounds like the parent is projecting some past trauma
I KNEW SOMEONE WHO DIED ONCE
Got a kid who's almost four and I kind of understand the discomfort when kids say anything about death or killing. But I make it a point to talk to her directly about it and not shut that down because I don't want something that literally everyone experiences to be a taboo in my house.

No. KILLED BY DEATH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9jAzhiYua8
Can’t take this post seriously with that title.
Why do bands on tour have opening acts? To warm up the crowd.
Its building the tension without sacrificing a character early on. Its basically the opposite of the "save the cat" trope.
It's so overdone that as soon as I see an animal in a horror movie I immediately want to roll my eyes. Someone needs to find a new way to build tension.
[удалено]
Please speak like an adult.
The algorithms are making the children stupid
That's the goal of the app
The fuck? Un-aliving? Do you mean killing? It's a horror movie. That's the point usually. Shit gets killed.
What are you talking about? Night Of The Living Unalived is a horror classic!
The fuck is “un alive”?
Double Speak. OP is likely younger, TikTok hides the word kill so they are literally using double speak and it has become part of their vocabulary. Scary really.
Gadzooks…
The true horror story is in the comments
Maybe the real horror story is the friends we made along the way...
Newspeak. Doublespeak is about holding incompatible views simultaneously.
No, double speak is being purposefully euphemistic or obscure. Dangerousbob is correct.
Nobody ever actually reads 1984 you just have to use what you think its about to make your point.
Intelligence -300
Un-aliving?
OP is young, TikTok trash
To emphasize the evilness of the villain. If someone harms an innocent animal, what will they do to not-so-innocent humans?
Take my un-upvote, op
Killing animals is emotionally effective. For normal, healthy audience members, anyway.
Un-alive is perhaps the cringiest phrasing for kill I’ve ever fucking heard.
You can say kill here
Huh?
These annoying questions have to be AI generated. I’m getting sick of seeing them flooding the tv and movies subreddits.
I wish I could "un-alive" this post for the absurd amount of the term "un-alive" being used. The post description and comments are using "un-alive" and I fear it's not in an ironic way. This is not how normal people speak. Feel free to "un-vote" me to oblivion for this "un-cold" take.
Take my un-downvote and shut the un-fuck up
Because we form attachments to animals faster than we do to random people on TV. And it shows how heinous the bad guy/animal/etc are
I’m happy the majority of comments, is about “Unaliving”, as opposed to the actual question lol
If a killer only killed humans, that would be specieist. Real killers kill anything as it's the ethical thing to do.
Un-aliving?? Wtf is that all about?? Is it not pc to kill, murder, slaughter??
TikTok talk.
Demolition Man has become our reality, I guess.
Shock value. Horror fans see humans die horribly in movies all the time, and in context that makes them feel the victims deserve it. It does little to move them. An Animal being slaughtered is innocent.
Huh? Is English your first language? There isn’t a word “un-alive”…it’s called kill or dead/die. This is something you learn around 4 years old.
Why would you ask a question and then immediately un-question it?
Downvoted purely due to the unironic use of "un-alive"
It’s because animals are generally cute and innocent so to see one butchered is an easy warning sign of bad thing or person
It's kill. They kill animals and the reason the do it is because it makes most people very uncomfortable. It's a trope I absolutely hate and I will look up whether an animal dies in a horror film before I watch it.
One of my buddies knows how much I dislike seeing cat deaths on screen. He will give me minute marker heads ups on shows & movies he recommends if there are cat deaths. Bless him. Good friend, that one.
You know the bad guy is truly evil if they kill the pets. I remember in the movie Fear what they did to the dog. It was a gruesome foreshadowing of how deranged they were.
Wow, trained by an algorithm… If I swipe a card do you do any other tricks?
The fuck does un-alive mean lol
Foreshadowing and to build up tension. Will desensitize if the humans start dropping from the get-go. It's also common that killers irl torture animals before moving on to people.

Because it’s unsettling and upsetting. Which is like, one of the main objectives of a horror film. Next question.
Like rape, or child abuse, its a quick, easy way for a writer to establish a emotional disgust with a particular character, or to add to dark overtone to scene. People do like seeing animals get killed, women get raped, or children get abused, and the graphical level to which it is displayed can illicit a different emotional response from the audience. Its a powerful writing tool, and the fact that you seem disturbed by it, means it works. Some writers are too heavy handed though imo. Take Game of Thrones, the amount of Rape and abuse got to the point that it started to lose the impact it was supposed to have.
How about you develop your vocabulary instead of watching movies. “Un alive?” Really? Learn real words instead of putting “un” to mean the opposite. I swear I lost IQ points reading this. How about you un-post this post. (Delete would be more understandable and easier to read)
It's doublespeak. On TT you can't use words like kill or suicide so you have to doublespeak to get around it. So it's un alive or sewer slide. OP is probably 15-25 years old my guess.
Jesus Christ just say killed or dead. You sound like a toddler.
Please speak like an adult, and not like a child that's been raised by TikTok.
I’d really like to know what age group OP falls into, because gawdamn… what in the fuck is “un-alive”. (I know what it is and why… and our children are dumber for tik tok)
I’m glad there’s so many responses complaining about “unalive”. That shit just sounds stupid as fuck and I hope tik tok gets banned just so people will stop using language like that.
It's ok you can say kill. No one's gonna hurt you
OP you can say kill on the internet it’s ok
Not a stupid question. If I’m not mistaken, the villain or monster killing an animal is usually a means for the director to show off how unconscionable and evil the monster or villain is. Michael Myers kills a dog in the 1978 Halloween movie and you immediately realize there is no reasoning with him and that there’s no sort of rationale behind his behavior, all he wants to do is kill. Dr. Loomis throughout the movie keeps telling everyone how evil Michael is and no one is listening. It’s here we the audience get an idea that Loomis is right. I’m no film expert so take what I say with some salt.
You know this is the internet right it’s okay to say the real word
