About rule 3.2

[Jihadjoe]

Now... I have said this before in various threads about swearing. I disagree with swearing in this game, there be children about.

However, I think there is far more to be worried about regarding those same young minds than a few cuss-words. For instance, the scream of panic you hear when you blast an NPC. The fact that when you destory a ship, you are condemning the pilot to die in the freezing vacuum. The racial stereotypes presented, the themes of drug use and addiction.

This is a massively violent game whether you liek it or not, and swearing is not nearly as horrific as people dying... I ejoy a good swear in my own time, but I choose not to force that on other people, by doing so in a game which has no censorship. However if people are offended by people swearing I think they need to look at the wider issues explored by the games they play and the tv they watch and the music they listen to. Perhaps then they'll stopplaying morality police for a bit and look at the things they take for granted as ok to depict.
