    Gen X broke down the gate, millennials buried the gate, and Gen Z built a monument to swearing on top of where the gate once stood

        But that’s not a swear or curse word. The swear words are: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, damn, sonofabitch, 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
