Why can't such interesting articles be published without the unnecessary profanity? It actually prevents me from sharing it with a lot of people.

- CharlesW 4y ago> The world is falling apart and people are still worried about harmless words. The parent mentioned that it prevents him from sharing, not that they were personally worried about it. I'm also perfectly comfortable using salty language with friends and family, but very rarely use it on social channels. It's all about context.

- qolop 4y agoYou could literally say that about anything. The world is falling apart and people are worried about Nim compiler version 2.0. Talk about misplaced concerns. The world is falling apart and people are worried about who wins champions league this year. Talk about misplaced concerns. Where exactly is the line for you? What if this article began with a picture of a guy with his dick out fucking a pig that had a picture of an airport drawn on it. Would that still be acceptable? Because if its not then I have to say. The world is falling apart...
- mypalmike 4y agoSince the dawn of history, people have thought the world was falling apart. Maybe this isn't such a useful way of thinking.

- qolop 4y agoPrudish? What are you even talking about? I said I found the article interesting and have no problem reading it myself. I also use such language with my friends all the time. I'm not squeamish about it either. And no I'm not Christian, but even if I were why should it matter? I don't want to share it with others. These others include young kids and a parent who has an interest in construction. We don't cuss at home, and I've never cussed in front of them. Similar situation for most families in my country. What I'm saying is that by choosing to use language like this (which is COMPLETELY unnecessary btw, and kinda lazy tbh) you're preventing me from sharing it. There's a reason why serious newspapers don't publish such headings. They cater to a wide demographic, and not everyone is ok with reading such language, and I don't see what's wrong in that.
- wyclif 4y agoI agree with you. Gratuitous profanity always makes the people using it sound like inarticulate sons of bitches.
