This shit drives me up the wall even more than "unalive"

You can't stop people saying slurs but an entire generation will subconsciously alter their entire vocabulary because they grew up on corporate platforms with very heavily moderated text chats and comment sections and they ended up internalising the filters matt-joker

Edit: I was not aware of the AAVE origins of "ahh" which pushes it more towards the territory of legit slang. Still, I stand by my general point about automated moderation influencing language being bad

Learning that "goofy ahh" is a lameass self-censorship of goofy-ass is so fucking disappointing. I just learned this a couple days ago, I didn't know what it meant but I figured it had some different meaning. Instead it's goddamn self-censorship just like "unalive".
