The term “ungood” also lets you talk about bad things but that doesn’t make it not newspeak. The corporate sanitizing and infantilizing of speech is not a good thing. It’s not the teen’s problem though, it’s the corporations and their desire for a sanitized public square they can plaster ads over.

Yes, exactly. The problem is corporate sanitization not the adapted language norms by teens.

Ungood was given by the state. This is stuff people are coming up with in defiance of the state/corporation/censorer. That distinction matters, I think.

We already have the real words. Censoring yourself is bending over to accept it.

[-] candybrie@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It's specifically defying the censorship already imposed.
