if you have to use a TLD from some country that is not exactly the most stable and can at anytime shut down your domain because you feel it is edgy, maybe you should be rethinking that.
Maybe it's a generational thing. Do younger internet users not pause at the domain name if it looks sus at all? Then again, how many users are actually using domain names to get to websites? With everyone obfuscating the basic link with some cute button, or shortening within the address bar, or any other modern things to hide the grotesque string of text, do people even see the actual links in the day to day adventures on the web?
Maybe this is an everyone needs to get off my lawn moment, and I should just go find a cocktail?
