Christians. You’re on their time.
- imglorp 6y ago"See, in our century, we've learned not to fear words."
- dragonwriter 6y agoLinguistic prudishness outside of specifically around violations of the Second Commandment isn't particularly tied to Christianity. As “shit” is not, even in the broadest Christian interpretation, a name of the Christian God, that doesn't seem to be the basis of any filtering of that word.
- stonogo 6y agoAre we now pretending anyone pursues the concept of 'profanity' or defines it as broadly as Puritanical christians? Seems a weird fight to pick, but ok.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> Are we now pretending anyone pursues the concept of 'profanity' or defines it as broadly as Puritanical christians? Literally Puritanical Christians don't exist anymore, it's a defunct sect. Metaphorical puritanism in any sense relevant here isn't restricted to Christians. And, yes, plenty of groups are at least as opposed to profanity, and define it at least broadly, as any Christian groups (certainly, I've noted Islamic groups that that applies to.) Sure, in, say, the US if you run into this its mostly likely to be from Christians, but that's true of most things because the US is a majority-Christian country.
