oh i don't mean "vilify" as in "should be policed" i meant "vilify" as in "beware of the spicy words, say them only on special occasions". i would like to encourage using curse words less to give them more of a punch, not censor them forcefully
and to reply to your example - of saying fuck after an argument - i disagree. i feel like if my sailor-tongued friend stormed out of a room and said "fuck!" i'd think dang, has he forgotten his lunch again? coffee too cold? i mean that's his usual reaction to pretty much any inconvenience. but if my quiet and soft spoken friend stormed out a room and said "fuck!" i'd be petrified, what could've possibly happened to cause him enough distress to need to let it out like that? if it doesn't take much to push you to use bad words, then the bad words don't really carry weight. i personally do my best to avoid using the fucks and the shits as much as i can, so that when i do say them - those who know me can feel the weight behind my word choice
Yeah honestly I think we just fundamentally disagree on this and that's ok. Agree to disagree?
yeah sure! in the end, there is no right way to tell a story
