Of course, nowadays there’d be many more options. Or they could just refrain from fucking censoring. 8 year olds know and say the beeped words without hesitation. What they wanted to originally achieve - not raising swearing generations - has failed extensively. Instead, produce/play content that mirrors realistic scenarios for swears etc. Beeping someone telling their teacher/boss/whatever to go fuck themselves on TV won’t make kids not reproduce this, the opposite is the case: It’s now something forbidden. Seemingly censored without the person’s consent even. Which naturally makes it much more attractive to use inappropriate.


I guess because it was originally used in contexts where cutting out the normal line and cutting in something else was way more complicated (analog), especially live, so just blocking that out with a physical button press producing a deafening and silencing beep is easier.
And humans are fucking annoying assholes, valuing tradition over logic.
The best alternative to ShitSkibidi is not using that idiotic BS at all.
