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.

People should be allowed to do what’s in their comfort zone without fear of reprisal. But I’m still going to believe you’re a child if you can’t even curse in writing

Way to undercut your own message.

The juxtaposition allowed my point to be made more strikingly, in my opinion

It's not "striking", it's antithetical.

No, it’s creative phrasing. You’re still allowed to avoid cursing, no one’s going to come for you. But you’ll still look like a silly billy.

Because writing fuck is the ultimate sign of maturity. I guess I'm less childish than I thought I was.

No it has no bearing on maturity, but not being allowed to write fuck is a sign of being childish.

We're not talking about not being allowed. We're talking about choosing not to. In my bubble, using curse words is considered edgelord and therefore childish. I don't mind being childish. I do curse, but I really don't see it as a sign of maturity.
