Why do some of you not type out the profanity that you try to get across?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Why do some of you not type out the profanity that you try to get across? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 7/5/2012 12:41:04 PM EDT

I see a lot of "*uck that" or "that is bull $hit"

Why don't you just type it out? Does profanity bother you? I mean you are clearly thinking it, clearly feeling it. It's just the interwebz, so why not type out the full bad word?

I know it doesn't make sense, but I feel more comfortable around people that occasionally use profanity. It makes me feel like they are okay with themselves. And not worried about being judged.
I will also say I think it is whiskey tango as fuck to be out in public and just using profanity because you think it is cool.

But sometimes the situation calls for a cuss word.

I guess it's kind of like people who don't drink. I feel awkward around them. Even when I did not drink. Maybe because when I did not drink, I felt like I was better than those who did drink. Obviously that is not right.

I guess I am shallow.

But on the other hand I do fully respect people who do not think it is right to drink or swear. But I can't figure out the point of mis typing a swear word, on the Internet. Especially on a site that thrives off of dirty grunt language.

I once worked with a KCPD SGT who never used profanity. But then one day he used the F word in a casual conversation. While off duty. I suddenly looked at him as a regular human and not as a polite and proper Sgt. Now on duty and dealing with the public is different. But for once I saw him as a regular person.

Do any of you feel more comfortable around people who swear from time to time?

I've been on some boards that don't allow it, so it's habit. A f*cking habit.

Are you talking about in posts, or in thread titles? Because it's not allowed in thread titles.

I come from boards that encourage typing like a sailor. If you don't throw at least one fuck, shit, or bitch into a sentence...you'd be an outcast

So fuck it!

Well I ment posts made in replies or in OP's. Not in the title. But even then, In the short time I have been here I have seen swear words in the title. Yet they are allowed. I don't mind it. But that whole "live by the COC" isn't as legit as some make it sound. Just a few days ago I seen a post with the word "shit" in the title. I had to click on it since it had a swear word.

By the way, you are all a bunch of ****ing *ick *ucking *ussies.

I'm all kinds of fucked up. What can I say.
Sgt calls me a "soup sammich" Cause it doesnt get more fucked up than a soup sammich.

Supposed to be polite society, you know?

There WAS a time when profanity was looked down upon as being coarse language that was not encouraged.

Now we have pre-teens spouting 4 letter words like its nothing...because to them it is nothing

This may surprise you, but what is considered profane language morphs over time. 'Darn' has not always been acceptable in polite company, for example.

Force of habit. You can't swear on most other forums.

In all honesty, ARFCOM has the most ass-backwards moral policies of any forum I can think of. You can cuss like a sailor, post full gore death pics, and hurl thinly veiled racial slurs at the POTUS and his wife but GOD FORBID you post a pic of a woman in a bathing suit!

Wouldn't want to make the site sponsors uncomfortable, I guess.
