just get yourself a UV flashlight, or bring some flowers to your nearest laser tag arena. this is just how stuff looks under blacklight sometimes (which isn’t to say it isn’t cool, just that you don’t need fancy tech to see it),
juliebean@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do some people want to go back to the 1950’s?9·5 days agopeople that wax nostalgic for the 1950s are either:
A) folks who only see how advantageous it was for a white middle class cis straight man with a GI Bill, and just forget and ignore the rest of the reality of the era, or
B) folks that actively want to roll back civil rights for minorities, and would probably prefer the 1850s, if only they had pickup trucks back then.

that’s gotta be the most fucked up example of self censorship word replacement i’ve ever seen. ‘unalive’ sounds like something from 1984, but at least it means what it means. ‘repent’ instead of ‘rape’ sounds like you think sexual violence is a moral good.
but in short, no. the more serious the subject, the more important to speak plainly. if the subject isn’t appropriate for the situation, then drop the subject, don’t sugarcoat the language.
