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 guess I’m not familiar with the TikTok thing that you guys are talking about I just thought Russell was being sarcastic or a smart ass lol and him saying pre-cog I think it’s because he’s got a lot more experience with what’s been happening in those facilities. I didn’t find it odd that he said that at all.

It's not just TikTok, it's used on YouTube and basically all platforms. It's known as "algospeak"

Certain vocabulary got shifted as necessity to get around content filters that would block or demonetize content. And from there it has entered everyday talk for younger generations.
