Swearing

[Napoléon]

Idk if you noticed but I don't always have the cleanest mouth

But I know a lot of people who get butthurt over cussing. What's your opinion of it?

To me they're just words. They're good for adding emphasis. Most of the time there's no emotion behind my cussing, but it's associated with anger and aggressiveness. I get that with vulgar insults, but the rest don't seem aggressive to me.

I noticed the more religious a person, the more outraged they get over swearwords.....coinkydoink?

I'll give my actual 2 cents on this...

For me, whenever I see people criticising bad language/swearing on here, I find it quite naive, and more than a little patronising. Like, I write how I speak. I swear a lot. Don't like it? Don't listen. Grow up and get used to it, is my response. Some people seem to come here under the impression this is some super formal debate site where people must abide by some strict code of conduct.

Fuck that. This is just a forum. Far too many people get offended by bad language and euphemisms IMO and just because you do doesn't grant you a mighty pedestal to look down on everyone else who doesn't share the same sensitivities. If you can't take what people say on the internet with some pinch of salt, on a place like this of all places, then stick to whatever sheltered neighbourhood you live in. The internet obviously ain't for you.
