today i saw a post about how people using replacement words for died like ‘unalived’ or whatever is swagless which i agree with but also i feel like adding that even like in normal people lexicon its fucking stupid. like why would you say someone ‘passed away’ if they died in a crash or of an illness or something like it only makes sense if you die of natural causes peacefully and even then it still feels kind of weird and like minimise-y. why would you say someone coded to mean they went into cardiac arrest IF YOURE NOT IN WORK i understand that the replacements are neccessary in an actual er for speed and stuff but outside of that context it makes it seem almost in-jokey like haha i work in an er and you dont so you dont know what i am talking about. why would you say someone is no longer with us especially if its to a smaller child which it normally is like the kid isnt gonna fucking understand that that means they’re dead they’ll keep holding out hope that theyll come back it seems almost cruel. there is no scenario when saying someone died is inappropriate they;re fucking dead everyone dies even children deserve to know that someone is dead straight up you dont have to skirt around it its so annoying
