People Who Get Offended by "Foul Words"

Wrong Ideas

There is nothing in a word that can possibly fucking harm you, no physical injury that an uttered "profanity" can deliver. Yes, a statement might hurt your tender little feelings, but it would with or without the accompanying "obscenity". Those words are in quote because they are bullshit. This is a real obscenity, as is this, this, this, and this and this. Why make a big deal about being offended?
"My delicate sensibilities are more sensitive than yours"
Some mincing little prude wants to convince you that they are your superior. Their manners and breeding mark them out as being of a higher social rank than rude, crude, you. They set out to convince you that word-choice is a sign of some quality that only the good possess.
Conformism
Who decided that "fuck" was evil? You don't know them, but you believe, it right? Just a little bit of you feels guilty for saying that word. You just fall in line with all of the people who believe shit because. Somebody, probably a parent, tells you that something is bad and you agree on the basis of them having said it.
When people pull this shit what they are trying to do is establish rank. Think of it as a small dog humping another male dog. It's about setting themselves up in the area of appropriate behavior. They are explaining to you, with their sneer of disapproval, that you are down on the scale of humanity than them. Who does this? Those who want to establish social orders that have nothing to do with tangible right/wrong issues. The fact that this is what they choose to be offended by shows you that they themselves have no idea what real good/evil consists of and therefore are morally deficient. Insecure about their own righteousness they try to establish it with something easy like not cursing.
Also, stupid people who fail to recognize a stupid argument when they see it (because they are stupid). The truth is that words don't have a moral value. They have no right or wrong attached them outside of context. Why invest yourself in standing up against "foul language" instead of something like human trafficking? Because you are dumb little pissant who would be better off getting cancer and dying slowly, that's why. Yeah, motherfucker, you have my permission to be offended by that.
