And the difference is?
Ergo, what is considered offensive is based on social construct. (In more religious times, "god damn you" was heinous insult, which I doubt would register with anybody in modern secular Blighty.)
- lupusreal 2y agoThe difference is how they are presently perceived. I am arguing that shit, fuck, etc are not presently taboo, while other words (slurs) are. Yet American companies treat words like fuck as though they are still widely considered offensive. These companies are out of touch with modern culture; that's my point. So what is your point? Why do you feel the need to tediously explain that offensive words are a social construct, something obviously understand already because I just got done explaining that the set of taboo words has changed over time?
