What's up with Zoomers being unable to discuss adult topics on social media without using words like these?

How does anyone expect to taken seriously on those topics when they say these things?

Automatic censorship often targets words out of context, so alternatives need to be used to get around around it.
It's Twitch/Youtube newspeak developed to avoid censorship and demonetization. Blame the platform and advertisers, not the zoomers.

Nah, I'm gonna be honest, if you use it outside of those contexts, you sound pretty stupid and it's also just disrespectful considering the heavy nature of the topics, especially if you're talking about these topics in the context of real people/real cases. So I will indeed blame it on the zoomers.

Even in context I still think it sounds stupid even if I understand why it's done, although I wonder if you're going to make a video like this you should maybe just take the L and accept getting demonetized (although obviously if the video just can't be uploaded outright without being taken down I guess it's a different story). Don't know if that's a hot take but that's my opinion.

pretty much my thoughts, it sounds stupid af even if i get why tiktokers and yters do it. and if you aren't a tiktoker, just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ say pedo, just say rape, just say killed, just say suicide, all the censorship dodging slang is just goofy sounding
all of these words create a wave of cringe to those who grew up back we didnt have to make a euphemism for literally everything

It's because social media platforms will often auto-censor comments that use the actual words, regardless of the context. These words were substituted so that you can still understand the context discreetly without getting silenced by the platforms' dumb algorithms.

Now if you're using this slang where this censorship doesn't apply, then yeah, it sounds stupid. Slang in general will usually sound stupid in comparison to the proper words. It's nothing new and will continue to change throughout the generations.
The worst one is people who say "ahh" as a way of censoring the word "ass", but they'll still say the n word no problem.
Sewerslide? Isn't that's a new one. I thought people said Alt+F4'ing.

Yeah it's become a meme and it's so stupid. It's another one that people don't even use right, like the POV meme.
whats that
Reason why I say the "safe for work" version of those words is because Steam will find a way to put you on time out. So you have to use the sfw version. If this was 4chan I would have no filter.
