Your so-called 'juvenile style' is what others would call not being as boring as watching paint dry. If Steve's goal is to write content that will spread and find as many eyes as possible, being entertaining instead of just pretentious and overly reverent seems to me to be a great strategy.
- ceilingcorner 6y agoHow is saying fuck and shit every other word entertaining? Idiocracy, here we come.
- istorical 6y agoBlasphemy, obscenity, indecency, licentiousness, all of these types of things are as old as time. The fact that they are taboo, or disgusting, or offensive, or indecent is actually what gives them both their power and their entertainment and excitement value. In other words, it's only entertaining because it offends someone like you. If you didn't care about the word fuck or shit, those words would lose their meaning and probably fall out of popularity only to be replaced by a new word or phrase that offended common sensibility. All that being said I completely recognize it's a matter of taste and think it's perfectly valid for you both to not like it and to express that dislike. And I don't mean to express any argument, just explain why some would enjoy it.
- ceilingcorner 6y agoI'm not offended, I simply find it juvenile. I wouldn't be offended if Barack Obama burped and said fuck during a speech, I'd simply find it to be unnecessary. Not everyone that dislikes swearing is a moral puritan, you know?
