    But that’s not a swear or curse word. The swear words are: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, removed, motherfucker, tits, damn, sonofaremoved, goddamn, ass, asshole, bastard and other plays on those words.

    And I’m pretty sure the unalive thing came from TikTok pulling and censoring videos with the word kill in them.

      I see a LOT of censoring all of those words from younger people who grew up with tiktok tho
