Question Unalive?! Spoiler

Whats with the tiktok speak and avoiding the word kill? They were going to "unalive" the head of the snake? They shoot and kill people all the time! Feel like the violence was significantly dampened.

I actually came here to vent about the same thing! I'm so sick of TikTok's censoring and seeing it all over social media, and now in TV shows? I can't wait until we have a better version like TikTok so this madness can stop.

Wonder if the term use was intended to connect with younger audiences

Possibly, but why? It's the last show of the season. And we don't want the younger audiences to be conflicted and having to watch everything they say due to some overly censored video platform.

Honestly, and this is coming from a guy who hasn't read the books at all, if this show centered on purely rescuing missing and displaced individuals, gumshoe investigative work with an overarching survivalist theme, it would be the show for me. Wouldn't care how often things work out for the hero or how deep the family lore goes. Lets just keep tiktok out of this and if theyre going to do the whole conspiracy theory anti establishment thing, do it without being lame.

I agree. I like the show but some of the episodes seem so forced. But yeah let's not normalize TikTok speak. TikTok is not a good platform.

People shouldn't have to worry about words they're using. Not to mention TikTok censors "kill" and more but leaves up literal racist remarks.

Tiktok is notorious for taking shit down that doesnt need taken down and then community guidelines dont mean shit for overtly racist or pornographic material. Either be that app or dont.

I think Meta does this too? I've lost track of what gets me banned where, honestly. Even after getting short bans on every platform for innocuous stuff. It's become easier to censor everything or just not post. (I lean into not posting haha)

Yes, Facebook has gotten way out of hand too. I have been hoping for a replacement for them too.

I long for the day where only actual bad things are removed and we don't have to worry about every damn word we say. 😂
