Yes, I’m aware I can curse on the internet - it’s not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I’m more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with “fucks”. Stop word-policing me (and others).

Edited to add alt text.

Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can’t say is not lost on me.

    The reasoning is irrelevant. Those are the words the person is choosing to use, and no one is in any way negatively affected by it.

      I mean, I’m not policing your words here, write how you want what do I care.

      But you brought up the reasoning yourself, and when I find it flawed your response is “I don’t need a reason”.

        Where? Their whole post is just “let people say what they want to say”. You’re the one trying to force them to justify it or fit your weird rubric.

      Look man, you can say potato means underwear all you want, but if you start saying you’re wearing potato under your pants people are going to look at you weird. You are not the only party involved in communication, and thus your preferences are only part of the equation, and people will interpret and process your words based on conventions, not just your personal thoughts on the matter.
