I find this sinister, because euphemisms like “unalived” are part of a broader dumbing down of language. Orwell warned about “narrowing the range of thought” in 1984: “We shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there shall be no words in which to express it.”
Fuck Tom Felton for his spinelessness, but also fuck that journalist for calling JK Rowling’s transphobia a “Twitterverse controversy.” What a disgusting way to refer to the violent hatred that she’s spewing towards the trans community, who she wants to eliminate from this earth.
