That's possible, but isn't that true in France (and presumably other countries) as well and relatively reasonable? "Bad words" have more impact and power, by design.
If I publish a public video where I say that "M. Untel est un professeur très injuste" ("Mr. So-and-so is very unfair"), no problem, "M. Untel est un fils de pute" ("Mr. So-and-so is an asshole"), consequences.
