Yeah, but that was said in a movie where they could potentially have sweared as much as they wanted to. Or at least acknowledged that ‘dumbass’ wouldn’t be some shocking thing to a guy from the future.
Yeah, it’s like the transporters. They were originally made due to the limitations of making a TV show (budget didn’t allow a landing sequence every episode) but they’ve become an established part of the universe now.
My favorite instance of swearing is in one of the TNG movies (can’t remember which one cuz it’s been forever) when the Enterprise is going down and Data looks up at the viewscreen and the land is coming up fast and he just shouts “Oh shiiiiiit!”
I like the old shows more because everyone acts appropriately to their rank and station. In the new shows a captain can go like “fuck this ima go punch someone and act super emotional and irrational” because that’s what a star fleet captain or anyone star fleet would actually do.
Right. And nobody cares because he’s the best man for the job for some reason.
Yeah, you’ve kinda just gotta suspend your disbelief. I’m going back and watching House for the first time since it ended, and it is RIDICULOUS how much these characters don’t swear at each other.
I like how every modern Star Trek show just ignores the silly idea that everyone has given up swearing in the 23rd and 24th century.

I laughed out loud when Spock went “OH F…” and then they cut to the title in STNW.

You can hear O’Brien cuss up a storm under his breath if you turn your volume up really loud
Not falling for that Kai Winn jumpscare again…
We need an episode of Celebrity Deathmatch for Delores Umbridge vs Kai Winn
The lack of swearing wasn’t originally part of the “utopian ideal”, it was in fact censorship from the broadcasters.
The universal translator autocorrect used to be turned up to high. Probably for the best.
Now they just have a universal bleeper, at least on the Cerritos
Isn’t modern technology wonderful?
