If it counts: Yugioh Manga. Because I'm a nerd who wants to live in a world where card games are serious business.
If that doesn't: I tried to read Algospeak because I've seen some of the authors content on TikTok and liked it, but them calling genocide the "Israel-Palestine conflict" really

Anyway, here's the video youtu.be/7z5TXctHcSA?...
It feels good to be vindicated about that book, written by someone I immediately clocked as a charlatan because unlike EN, I have a degree in linguistics

I used the word "algospeak" to convey the idea of heavily sanitized speech patterns that you sometime see and I felt like vomiting. I appreciate the teardown but isn't there someone to do it that isn't a genocide denialist?

“It is not worth your time, and it is definitely not worth your money.” Devastating review, but I’m hoping for some push-back-and-forth. The engagement would be good for both @languagejones.bsky.social and @etymologynerd.bsky.social. And ok, yes, entertaining for us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z5T...

Taylor Jones, aka languagejones, a linguist with a PhD from UPenn and whose YouTube channel I am subscribed to, has read Algospeak and oh boy does he hate it! 🧵 2/2

Oof.
If you’ve seen a lot of linguistics and etymology content on YouTube, TikTok, or Facebook, you’re probably already familiar with Adam Aleksic aka @etymologynerd.bsky.social and probably have also heard about his new book Algospeak. 🧵 1/2

I hope it won't have to be written out in algospeak going forward, although that could also be kinda funny for a 4 panel. (like "Cutting Through the Noise" vibe.)
I'm not as familiar with it, but are there any detection evading words for hypnosis? (Unalive: panini: Le $ bean:: kill: pandemic: WLW👩❤️💋👩)

As someone who just got a timeout on here for obviously hyperbolic language about a certain two letter industry that is ruining our lives, this hits hard.

Er plutseleg blank: prøver å koma på norske døme på algospeak, eller ord/uttrykk som vert nytta for å koma rundt ekte og innbilt sensur. Unalive, seggs og grape er klassiske engelske døme. Kulturberikar er ein rasistisk variant, men som ikkje treff heilt. Radioresepsjonens "sydhavskonge", kanskje?

Talvez o algospeak não seja apenas uma forma diferente de falar.
Talvez seja a linguagem de quem aprendeu que, na internet, comunicar também significa negociar com regras que não consegue ver.

As palavras que não dizemos: algospeak, autocensura e o imaginário algorítmico
Como a opacidade dos algoritmos transforma linguagem em estratégia, silêncio em comportamento e participação pública em gestão de risco

I swear rewatching videos that have algospeak is painful
especially when that someone could've easily swapped it with an appropriate word that still means the same or is similar enough to the offending word
Sick of hearing the word Corn, that's why
