You flavor of language is rude.
Imposing your preferences on others is rude. If you don't like spaces that permit profanity, you're free to get the fuck out.
Some people I have no control from over. However, if your cussing like a sailor I'm going to ask you to stop.
Some places are less formal so I don't get as upset over it. For instance
I don't tolerate cussing at work but I tolerate it at a bar.
You have zero control over people. Nor should you desire it.
True
That's fucked up.
You must think everyone who swears are the literal definition of the word, which in that case I suggest you learn to keep your head out of the gutter!
Edit: you literally live in it. https://lemmy.zip/comment/6025027

Ngl, this isn't always true but I've known a few self-described "non-swearers" who would start really, baldly vulgar conversations regularly - but they'd substitute "freak" or "screw" for "fuck", and "crud" for "shit", and "weiner" for "dick". Yet when I reply "what the fuck, that's gross", I'm the vulgar one apparently. It's fucking bizarre man
Call it creative syntax
