I grew up in an extreme right wing religious fundamentalist household. My mother wouldn't say the word "fart" because it was deemed offensive. I remember the religious right trying to ban offensive words from broadcast media and my mother going to extreme lengths to otherwise ensure I didn't hear such words. There were lots of PG movies I was not even allowed to watch as a teenager. These efforts were rightly and widely mocked. It's both amusing and terrifying to watch the progressive left go down the same ridiculous paths that the extreme right did not that long ago.
