You don't like hyperbole?
.... sort of indicative of the weird and calcified social rules we have about swearing.
HEY GUYS. STAHP. STAHP BEING MEAN.
We're picking on Padme because she ****ing loves it and gives as good as she gets. And I happen to know that she enjoys a swear-word in her time or two.
I won't say you're white-knighting because I think your intent is sincere if adorably misguided (*pinches your nose* aren't you chivalrous?) and sort of indicative of the weird and calcified social rules we have about swearing.
Only you could make me feel better and make my eye twitch in irritation at the same time Prosp.
I'm the Dorothy Parker of this site. But with better tits.
Anyway, I don't swear because I got my mouth washed out with soap a couple times when I was a child and just... learned not to do it I guess.
It's not necessarily 'questioning' per se. How could one really know otherwise if the way they were raised is the only normal they know of? Sure, they can question, but it'll still be through the lens they were raised up with. If that makes sense.People who haven't taken the time to judge/question their own upbringing weird me out.
But do you see my point in that it's your perception of the word f uck that is the problem, and not the word itself? It literally means baby making. If we were to use more ''morally correct'' language, torture and rape would be censored whenever used outside of their actual context. Like ''that end boss raped me'', ''waiting in that line was torture''. And yet, ''I ****ing love rainbows''...is censored. Our language is warped and weird.You too? I came close to it!

As for ' f uck' being uncensored, I think it's up to B. Rhea. It would bug me to see that word everywhere on the forum, but hey, it's life. AMRITE?

If you could explain that first part a little better I'd appreciate it.
Of course it made sense and continues to, they were your parents.I'll use my life as an example (hush Prospero >.< don't you use this against me! )
Any who, I was raised in a home where swearing was not allowed. We just didn't swear.... My folks led by example. I don't think I've ever heard a swear word uttered by my mom- nor my dad, now that I think about it.
My high school years were a huge eye opener for me because that's when I was sent to a public school...Now affectionately dubbed my tumultuous years.
Long story short, because I was raised with different values/world views, I knew and felt different from the other students- yaddi yadda. (Gosh, I'm really bearing my soul here). Though I was not encouraged to ask questions, I did it anyway. My mom always thought I was a difficult child because of that. lol. I got in trouble (at the beginning). Eventually, my folks saw my true intent, and thus realized I was not challenging their authority, but was merely seeking clarification on 'why.'
I didn't so much 'question' my folks because the values they instilled in me made sense (still does) to me. In addition, I view said values as protection in a way. Said values made me more cognizant of others. Being polite- which is a biggie- and where my no swearing at others really comes from. Respecting others feelings/opinions. Treating folks right, yaddi yadda.
Some of my IRL folks I know were not encouraged to ask questions. Either that or (unlike me) they didn't want to get in trouble for asking. I feel as though folks these days simply want to 'question' things simply to challenge authority.
