Cursing all the time is like yelling all the time. It loses its effect. That said, If you’re going to swear, don’t fucking censor your words. It’s just stupid.

jjjalljs,

The common “curse” words like “shit” and “fuck” are pretty impersonal. They can signal an escalation, but are typically pretty minor. They don’t even do that when the speaker is like “I just took a huge shit. Don’t go in there for a while”

Other words, like racial slurs and anti-queer stuff, invoke more history and violence. If someone calls someone an asshole that’s probably not that big a deal. If they call someone a n-word f-gay-slur, there might be a hate crime about to happen.

So I don’t use those words. I don’t want to bring the stuff they import into the scene.

People who are the typical recipients of the slurs using them themselves is a related topic I’m not very qualified to speak on, and I wouldn’t try to police their language.

Consensus? You’re asking the fediverse for a consensus?

supercriticalcheese,

Yeah, no idea what OP expected.

My two cents is that swearing with people you don’t know might lead to misunderstandings, so probably it would be best to keep that shit to a minimum.

Annoyed_Crabby,

The fuck would i care if people fucking swear or not, as long as you don’t fucking target your fucking swear at others then you be fucking damn sure no one will fucking have any fucking problem with your fucking swear.

elbarto777,

I fucking direct my swears to whomever the fuck I want. Fuck you. And merry fucking hannukah.

A_Random_Idiot,

Because its fucking rude to curse you shitheaded little twat!

If it is needed I will use. Otherwise not.

It can be totally tonally jarring. I swear all the time, but if I threw some swears in my comments from my history then the messages behind them would be weakened.

**** censorship

I don’t focken feel like it, ya cunt.

superminerJG,

are you one of them australian fockers?

ani,

Swearing is one of the most immoral atrocities. Parents who swear in front of their children should have their guardian status taken away, and the State military should take care of them to teach them morality. Overall, swearing should be illegal and punished with death penalty, including swearing on the Internet.

A_Random_Idiot,

genuinely cant tell if joke or serious.

Sorgan71,

because constant swearing makes swears lose meaning

Detheroth,

But there is nothing more versatile and meaningful than a good “Fuck”.

“That fucking fucker fucked me over”. Doesn’t that phrase just warm the cockles of your heart?

Sorgan71,

That statement is now meaningless because that word is used so casually.

Every other word (not literally) out of my mouth is a curse word, so much so that I feel less of a need to use them here. Plus every-once-and-a-while peeps take my rando opinions far too seriously. So, (to compensate), I try to be more polite than I would when actually speaking

Like Mr Miyagi said.

“fuck off, fuck on, fuck off! The fucker!”

Cursing and not cursing will both get you pretty much no reaction here.

But… if you self censor curse words with f*** or s***… some lemmings lose their $#!+!
