So uhh not sure if this is the place to post this but I figure it will jusy get moved if I've posted it in the wrong spot.
So anyways
Yeah I noticed that, like me, there are people who are surprisingly comfortable with swearing. Which really isn't a surprise. I swear all the time in real life.
But I guess my question (or concern or whatever) is that I seem to be able to get away with certain words (damn being the most notable) while the word "prick" (which isn't really all that bad as far as I know) is censored.
Hell, I can say hell too. And I can scream "JESUS CHRIST" if I want and I get away with it. I get why the s-word and the f-word are censored and I'm not gonna complain that my character would swear often if he could because that's not really my point.
Wait, what even is my point..?
Oh yeah!
I get why the vulgar stuff is blocked, but why is it that I'm allowed to offend christians by saying Jesus' name in vain but I'm not allowed to say the f-word when my arm gets cut off? It seems silly to block some things and not other things that could be taken just as offensively. Especially when the general number of people I talk to don't give a flying camel about swearing.
Maybe I should make a poll to see who cares about offensive language to prove my point, but I don't know how.
Anyways,
Discuss.
