Profanity
Profanity isn't always the problem
I need to get this sorted. On profanity, what’s acceptable, when, what, and to whom?
The lefties say, why the need to swear? Well, for some, it’s their voice, or part of it. For others, it fits the narrative. I say that’s acceptable—allow people to express themselves. Billy Connolly comes to mind.
And does written profanity feel more offensive than spoken? Yes. And those who choose the high ground over practicality? You know them—morally against it, yet burning to cuss when nobody’s listening. The worst form of duplicity. You see it over and over.
Australians have a way with swearing unlike anywhere else. The naughty words arrive with so little malice that they often function more as punctuation than profanity.
So, the verdict? Profanity isn’t always the problem. Hypocrisy is.
