    Kinda slang/profanity in general.

    The norms around deciding that things like ‘pussy’ are magically more offensive than its synonym ‘vagina’; or ‘shit’ to ‘poop’; or ‘gosh darn it’ to ‘god damn it’; etc… It’s just silly.

    I can kinda get religious folks not wanting to say ‘god damn it’ cuz for them it is magically more offensive because they literally believe in magic, and their magic book says not to swear in the dude’s name… so… fine, you do you. But even through that filter, the rest of them are still on the table - I mean, god’s name isn’t ‘fuck’, so who cares about dropping the occasional f-bomb?
