      Maybe it’s to avoid getting buried in the algorithm on mainstream apps that avoid that word. It’s likely just a copy paste from one of those.

        “The algorithm” really doesn’t care about font changes.

        People’s grasp of modern computing is insanely outdated. Nobody does simple string matching at scale like in the ye olden forums.

        Any decently advanced system will “know” the words you black out or write in a weird font or with a modern expression like “unalive”

        Even with the consumer accessible multi-modal language models reading AND understanding th context of text in images is fully trivial

          Yet publications on TikTok with the word suicide get banned and deleted, while unalived do not.

          It’s true that they do know what the content is about, it’s just the politics of online social networks shaping communication.

          I’m not defending them, but arguably neither of the two in Star Wars being referenced here should be called that. Maybe the jedi one is, if we consider them a religious group and not a political one (debatable at the point of the attack), because it was a widespread extermination of them. The sand people one was just a mass murder though. There wasn’t a systemic extermination of the people, only a large retribution killing of a single group.

          Still though, they’re close enough that we all know what it’s talking about. It’s fine.

        Seems like a cowardly way of saying you want to ignore all the increasing number of genocides happening in the world.

            Well, considering that you’re refusing to provide any other interpretation, it’s the most probable one.

            Come on now, what do people here call a genocide that you think shouldn’t be called a genocide?
