Content creators use that language to avoid being de-monetized. Note, no platform actually censors "kill", "suicide", etc, but they do remove monetization. I have no idea why other people use it. It's not like you can monetize comments. I guess it just shows how much cultural pull "new media" have.
AIUI the tiktok algorithm actually does heavily punish overtly "adult" language https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20563051231194586
But thankfully HN is not TikTok; I thought it is a place for adults (and manchildren LARPing as adults).

#343Once Gaza and the West Bank are taken care of, will Lebanon, Jordan, or Syria be next? Israel very much depends on being the dominant power in the region. If they lose US support, things could get ugly indeed. And they are losing support rapidly now.
They've already attacked Syria and Lebanon multiple times already. There's no doubt that they're already planning for new wars once this one is over.
I wonder why Israel is attacking Lebanon. It's a real mystery.

They may oppose the current arrangement of the government but they don't disagree with the occupation and ethnic cleansing. > Eurasia Poll: 82% of Israelis want to expel Palestinians from Gaza; 47% want to kill every man, woman, child https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/05/30/poll-israelis-exp...

"What percentage of the people being bombed out and starved want to destroy the specific group of people doing and supporting the bombing and starvation" is not the gotcha you think it is. I'd imagine if you asked Armenians about their opinions of Azeris in the NK region, you'd get answers that would give you chills.

Can't be "live-and-let-live" if the "live" part isn't happening.

#346Can someone living in Israel help me understand what is going on right now? What does the political climate look like in Israel? Do majority of people support what is happening, if so why? if not, how is the government executing this? Further, has this had any impact on the overall relationship between Jewish people worldwide and those residing in Israel? if so, how? I know that the media is all over the place and it…
Israeli here, can't directly answer your question since I've lived in the US for 99% of my adult life, but I consider myself pro-Israel and resent the way Israel is currently/always being portrayed. I see the key problem as people removing context: Context for why the current situation could easily be different if Hamas acted/acts differently, and context for why there is no "just stop fighting" option that leaves Israel with a high confidence that another Oct 7 won't happen in the next few years.

#349The film could not find a U.S. distributor after being picked up for distribution in 24 countries and winning the Oscar, a situation that has been compared to soft censorship. ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Other_Land
Impressive that it managed to win an Oscar all things considered.
Most likely cause is the Academy voters not watching the movies they vote for

#350Hamas to this day still has hostages. People were still butchered and raped by Hamas. The meme that Palestinians are blameless is just not accurate. Not defending either side, just saying this is like the Soviets and the Nazis on the Eastern Front.
I'm sorry, what is Awdah Hathaleen's connection to Hamas?
