That's one thing PhantomStrider constantly makes a point of when reviewing XYZ kid's flick or show; content aimed at kids, and in general, shouldn't talk down to them like they're stupid like, say, Dora does.

Language like 'unalive' when referring to killing, for example, even in a totally legitimate manner taking on some inherently dark subject matter like with any True Crime stuff, could be construed as talking down, vs. just presenting the content straight-up and being as accurate to the subject matter and as respectful to the audience which might very much include the families of the victims of whatever crimes are being covered, as humanly possible.

Like imagine pulling up a video essay on someone like Jeffrey Dahmer and having it be littered with language like 'unalive' and 'grape' when dealing with very, very serious subject matter like that, if I happened to be a family member of one of that guy's victims, I'd feel very talked down to and be insulted as hell, plus it's just not good optics to use language like 'unalive' when the subject matter you're dealing with is very dark and serious subject matter.

Yeah it’s getting completely ridiculous. Also, video essays about movies have to dodge copyright scans by resorting to super aggressive editing and visual trickery that basically just ruins the whole video. On PT, they could make much nicer videos.

Wait, sewer slide to describe the offing of one's self, really?! Google's that easily offended to where they'll censor vids talking about someone offing themselves if they just straight-up say the act instead of calling it something that sounds like the name of a Double Dare obstacle?!!

I guess Google doesn't know that using immature-sounding code words to talk about something like that is more likely to offend potential victims in the audience than just allowing the person talking about this stuff to be straight with the audience and just present the subject matter as-is.

I can't figure out ledollarbean no matter how many times I said it out loud.
