To be restricted to 18+? If your kid goes to public school they learn these words in 1st grade.
- waiseristy 4y agoWhen was the last time you saw a movie theater let children into an R rated movie?
- serf 4y agoseeing a guys' head get blown off in Pulp Fiction is different than when a student-peer says "Hey you wanna hear a bad word?" -- I feel like I shouldn't need to explain that.
- kevinmchugh 4y agoThe word "fuck" appearing twice in a movie is sufficient for an r rating
- Dylan16807 4y agoIt is not.
- staticman2 4y agoAre you under the impression a movie theater won't let a child into an R rated movie when accompanied by a parent? Because they certainly will.

- moviewatcher333 4y agoMy parents took me to see R-rated horror movies when I was like 8 years old. It owned. One benefit of them having done that is I cannot possibly imagine giving a fuck if somebody says “fuck.” Context is what matters. Saying “fuck yeah dude!” in front of kids does absolutely no harm.

That's irrelevant, that's about parents controlling what they kids can or cannot watch on family devices. I would not want my kids to watch any content with swearing. Inserting that footage was probably unnecessary for the purpose of that documentary at first place. The fact that some youtuber gets less money from ads because one of his video was flagged as inappropriate is a non story. I personally despise youtubers who fill their otherwise potentially interesting videos with cheap memes.
- CDSlice 4y agoSummoning Salt does not include any memes in their videos. The footage that included the profanities was of a speedrunner celebrating that they had just broken the world record. This sort of footage is important for his documentaries because their whole purpose is in showing who were the key participants in the speedrunning communities for the game the video is about. You can’t do that nearly as well if you don’t actually show the speedruns.
- encryptluks2 4y agoYou can bleep the swear words out, or mute them and put some funny content over it.
- BuyMyBitcoins 4y agoSummoningSalt is a documentarian and it seems entirely reasonable to show the footage unaltered. Especially considering the context and the how little was actually shown.
- encryptluks2 4y agoThen that is why it is flagged as adult content.

- bityard 4y agoI'm guessing you're not a parent... Learning about a word is not the same as using it appropriately. Swearing is fine, but there is a time and a place for it, and children are not well equipped to know when that is. And whether you agree with it or not, in most cultures, any kind of swearing by children in public is considered extremely rude and reflects poorly on the parents. The simplest solution is to teach children that yes, these words exist, and adults use them but children should not. That teaching is much easier when the parents limit exposure to swearing in media and other day-to-day life because children imitate what they are exposed to.
- xyzzy_plugh 4y agoWhat's the time and place for swearing? I'm not sure there exists any middle schooler who doesn't swear like a sailor, let alone a 13+ year old. Swearing in isolation doesn't hurt anyone. There's much worse things that can be spoken. It's much healthier to encourage children to not conceal things around their parents. Teaching them to censor themselves is counter protective to an open, trusting dialogue.
- throw_m239339 4y ago> Teaching them to censor themselves is counter protective to an open, trusting dialogue. Teaching them kids to behave publicly without resorting to profanities at every opportunity is the best thing a parent can teach their kids if the goal is to prepare them to enter professional life. It's about self-control, not censorship. Any idea or opinion, even the most controversial ones, can be expressed without resorting to vulgarity. It's anything but counter productive, quite the opposite. If the price to pay is some random youtuber getting less ad revenue then it's a very small price.
- encryptluks2 4y agoRight? Kids need to learn to communicate without profanities. If they can't do it, then they are going to have far worse problems and likely already do.
