Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

    Fuck knows, fuck you, and merry fucking Christmas.

    In seriousness though: no idea. It’s nice though, not every sentence needs an f-bomb or a c-nuke. They’re just helpful and/or satisfying sometimes.

    Cursing and not cursing will both get you pretty much no reaction here.

    But… if you self censor curse words with f*** or s***… some lemmings lose their $#!+!

    You may often be understood quite well even without using harsh language in every fucking sentence.

    Infact, refraining from using harsh language increases the impact of it when you actually need to for some god damned reason.

    So please, consider using some bloody restraint, and only curse when you actually shit ass need to.

    I hope that this comment has cleared it up for you, have a lovely new year!

    I try to ease up on the c word when I think I might be replying to an American because I’m aware it has pretty hideous connotations over there.

      Just use ankle for Americans, it’s less offensive to them and most of them are about three feet lower than a cunt anyways.

    There’s not really much need for swearing in most comments/posts I come across on lemmy/kbin, so I’m not surprised it’s uncommon.

    I don’t see a problem with bringing out the occasional swear word for particular emphasis or humour, but when someone can’t write regular posts/comments without cursing it’s pretty likely they’re just a kid trying to be edgy on the internet.

    It makes me laugh when some people give certain words magical powers. They are just fucking words for Christ’s sake.

    You are frequenting an incredibly select number of communities.

    Also, discussions tend to be more respectful here than on low bars like reddit, so crutches like swearing don’t come into play as much.

    In my case, my f****** speech to text won’t f****** write out the c*** d*** c*** swear words, which I think is hilarious.

      Check out the fucking cunt whose fancy fucking transcription software turns out to be a steaming pile of bullshit that won’t even pick up basic fucking words like cum guzzling knob goblin.

      eta: Merry Fucking Christmas.

    It can be totally tonally jarring. I swear all the time, but if I threw some swears in my comments from my history then the messages behind them would be weakened.

    Every other word (not literally) out of my mouth is a curse word, so much so that I feel less of a need to use them here. Plus every-once-and-a-while peeps take my rando opinions far too seriously. So, (to compensate), I try to be more polite than I would when actually speaking
