Ironically I was just talking in a small discord server about how I hope the profanity calms down. I'm all for profanity when needed, but at the moment it feels forced. It feels like everyone is just like, "Oh, I'm allowed to curse? Guess I have to every other word!"
Honestly, Zacc carries it for me. I'm a grown-up, and really not one who's easily offended, but listening to the Fs and Cs being thrown around FT is just making me cringe. Swearing is a powerful and important part of your linguistic arsenal, just like hammers are an important part of your toolbox. But if you use a hammer for every DIY job because you've just been told that you're allowed to use hammers, you're a bad workman.
To put it bluntly, folks, and I say this with love... grow up.
I tend to limit my character to like one swear every three sentences, and reset that limit per scene. Enter with a swear.
Hence why I ended up calling some people a bunch of ineffectual space vaginas. Rather than calling them something far worse.
Vaginas can literally make life though. They get eviscerared and bleed all over the place once a month and still keep trucking and doing their business like it ain’t no thang.
Listen man, I’ll call a cunt a cunt, and a pussy a pussy, and a twat a twat, but indulge me my semantics; if you were going for an insult, calling someone a space vagina seems like the wrong way to go about it. Those things are fucking B.E.A.S.T. Being called a space vagina is a compliment.
Ya'll are welcome to swear to your heart's content, but -maybe- Scatterhome needs it's very own swear word? Why are we stuck in the past, and why is fuck an insult?
And because cursing like you're in starwars lacks the impact.
Kriff sake, you need to get your head outta that bantha poodoo, and go get a wizard job, and stop smoking those death sticks, they'll be the Crinkling death of you, you laserbrained, hutt-spawn.
Skrogging nerf herders, am I right, or am I right Shutta?
I prefer to use a swear words when it makes sense and gives some gravitas to my statement. I believe using curse words for everything seems to make them no longer curse words. It just becomes a pretty debased form of communication in my opinion.
Yes, it will be configurable on/off. A lot of people don't want to feel like they're surrounded by a bunch of 10 year old who don't have adult supervision :awesome:

@Tecton seems to have just indirectly described me as a 10 year old who doesn't have supervision and if that's not a week one badge of honor I don't know what is.

I don't know what to tell you, man. That's how I talk. I'm over here like, YES, UNLEASH MY INNER SAILOR.
I really don't see the problem with the language. I did a quest recently and the NPC dropped far more profanity than I've seen on faction talk. Optional profanity filter is fine though so long as I can keep my game unfiltered and not have to alter my roleplay.
That study kind of backs up what he's saying, though. Wherein context is important, and not just swearing because you can like 99.853% of the people have been doing.
Personally don't believe a filter is the way to go about it. I don't think admin intervention is the solution, just people need to realise that just because you CAN curse every other word, doesn't mean you should. As Uachet said:

I'm assuming it's the novelty of being able to so overtly swear in one of these games. Hopefully they'll get over it, and these words will go back to conveying their usual meaning.

I played LotJ for way way too long I think.
