Swearing on the Escapist

[Your once and future Fanboy]

I use it my regular speach, i have even my own swear word in Norwegian (I use as my PS network alias). Not beacuse swearing is "cool" but more as a way to take the power out of the words.

when you say fuck in your normal speaking voice just as you would use the word good, or any normal pitched word it doesnt stick out, and it losses its power.

They're words... If they bother you that much you have issues that run far deeper than vocabulary.

It's not swearing I have a problem with, it's the sensoring of it. I mean, was there a 'common courtesy' memo I missed out on? I figure if you're yelling at some for misrepresenting your favourite Xbox game and fling so much shit at them that thier ancestors smell, why would you feel the need to suddenly protect them from the full force of your hate and bile? Are you doing it for yourself or other people?

I enjoy swearing, it's theraputic. And while, I dissagree with the shear volume of abuse that is imparted and exchanged on many forums, I think censoring your own work is fucking ridiculous. The internet is entering it's adolescene now, can we be allowed to swear without fear of being grounded?

I try not to swear, mainly because if I let myself swear once at someone, I wont be able to stop myself going crazy the next time I see someone who likes Star Wars I, II or III. The only reason I didn't go crazy at someone the other day was because I really want that Neo badge.
