If there's no kids around who are you censoring yourself for?
I avoid using curse words to maintain their strong effect. If taboo words become overused we will have to find new, even tabooer words to fill the gap. If I swear irl, people know it's serious, because I do my best to avoid it under normal circumstances.
You don't have to swear just for swearings sake, it just voids the effect of swear words and we have to find new ones
He didn't avoid it, he censored it. Those are different things.
