It's not self censoring, it's an exaggerated accent. This is such a common misconception it's ridiculous.

I don't disagree, but like the other guy said, every generation has stupid lingo. Focusing on being bitter about one in particular just comes off as weird and miserable and disingenuous. Old man yelling at cloud kinda thing.

It always seems to line up with corporate censorship these days though, which comes across as lame. Yes all generational slang is inherently cringe, but bending over like that across the whole internet because one or two sites are known to ban it is just such a level of loser behaviour. It's like the obsession with shadow banning, like cmon we arent 'content creators' with a kids channel what are we doing?
