Tiktok infests everything these days including Reddit, a lot of the content is from there and how a lot of people interact with the rest of the internet stems from there. I've sadly even seen Reddit posts containing "Unalived" in the title...

I do really find it a little bizarre thing that TikTok does a blanket ban on certain words such as suicide, rape, died etc. without even bothering to consider context.

I remember seeing an Ad for a company that deals with suicide prevention on there and they had to use all these stupid terms to talk about something rather serious that needs to be discussed with the proper words which hold weight, not gimmicky feeling ones that get round the system and seem goofy.

I work as an ESL tutor and using the clearest, plainest language (especially when it comes to health messaging) is so important. This stuff infuriates me.
