RE: Don't Swear, They Said. Keep it Clean, They Said. Well That Can Go Fuck Itself. (~Mature~ Reader Discretion Advised)
It's too common that folks focus is on the language and not the topic being addressed. It's easier to be upset with the former inconsequential, than the latter consequential. I see it as huge progress that people can talk about difficult topics these days -- and language like yours helped that.
I remember when Betty Ford, the wife of our President Gerald Ford in the 1970s, was so brave to talk about her breast cancer. Yes, that meant she had to talk about --- wait for it -- breasts, yes, breasts. So many women had to just bury their pain and die before, because it was impolite and discomforting to talk about breasts. If it takes seeing cuss words in every sentence to deal with our taboo issues, bring it on!
This.
I'm not taking this risk to be juvenile and plaster the world with spray painted pictures of dicks. I realize many enjoy the humor, I enjoy writing it. Behind the scenes, this is a protest. It was educational for some, but only if they can find a way to see the lesson.
I have respect for many varying walks of life. A religious person might view my words here today and shun me, kick me to the curb, view me as a lesser under their god than they are. That god, I'm told and shown, works in mysterious ways. These words teach them about a reality they choose not to see and show them an image of themselves they choose to hide behind their reflection.
To the clouded judgement of the only positive thinker, they view me as being negative, which in turn is an act of negativity, their enemy. They will choose not to look for it interferes with their false reflection.
To the journalist, this is deemed unfit for their society, unprofessional, worthless information. A waste of time about a time when their words too were the very same.
To the censor, it is the inferiority complex within themselves, growing. They must act to enforce their imaginary reflection of strength viewed only as weakness within.
Folks work hard to keep themselves affronted.
...and blame everyone else for their efforts.
Yep
