Why is it that curse/swear words are considered so bad?

1.18K viewsOther

I don’t get it. These words restrict what can be on TV and radio. They change the ratings of games and movies. We go through all this effort to keep these words hidden away from our children, even though the second they hit school they are going to pick them up from another kid most likely.

Why is it that we treat these words like black sheep?

This varies a lot by culture. In my experience Yankees take them insanely fucking seriously for some reason, but in Argentina they’re much less taboo.

It’s honestly so perplexing to me that media will explicitly or implicitly portray violence, death, murder, rape, torture, and so on but will shy away from cursing.
