Swearing Clarification

[Riley Mackenzie]

I gotta disagree w/ ya Steel...

It's impossible to shelter everyone.

Back to the 'Goram' example: The word itself is not vulgar in the least. Now that it's clear that goram is a replacement for g*dda*n does that now make the word vulgar?

....no.

If someone now finds the word offensive, it's no one's fault but their own.

We for the greater part already know where the lines are drawn, & replacement words are the compromise.

There are a number of people in the world that find nudity offensive, & also find bikinis offensive because they show alot of skin...does that make the garment itself offensive? or is it just simply in the eye of the beholder?

Should I refrain from using the word 'fudge' because someone somewhere may be offended by the process of 'going number 2'?

...Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

As a junker, 'scrap' is a perfect replacement word for 'crap' when swearing! It fits them quite well.

And I've been known to use gorram from time to time...

I dunno... saying "dang you to heck" just doesn't feel quite right...

hmmm... well i use these ones myself a fair bit, and there should be a few people recognising some of these...

- Feth
- Frak
- Frag
- Blarg, Blarg, Honk? :lol:


also, is 'bloody', as is 'bloody hell' considered to be swearing? otherwise i'll haveto tone down my Aussie style of speaking online...

Yeah....I use 'bloody" a lot on my chars.

The only chars I have that don't swear/get exceedingly frustrated and/or show it in some way/shape/form are GJ, he's an AI, isn't much one for emotion, Avenger, who is a cybernetics experiment gone wrong, and Shadow, who's another experiment.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

again the wy i see it you cant shelter everone and if you curse the npcs or a charter as part of roleplay ie"damn hes a tricky one" it is borderlione i mean chancea re a lot of kids (younger than say 16)know all of em anyway or some even we dont knowwe try but if it is to excessive ie f(**shi&**bi*** in a chain or soemthing then i can see a sdactionor if example"rouge girls are fpoul whores"its not nessarrly directed at a person but more so at what the group (npcs)may of given the impresion of) anyway as for klingon i go b ythis (if you dont know it dont treat is as a swear )

Actually, a good rule would be "If they say it in SP, you can say it here."

Kinda works, right? Kinda?
