BF2S Forums Swearing

sphincter-diving cunt diaper!

swearing can be fun.

Check out my post of Creative words to flame with.

asspelunking buggerite!

i love the BBC.

I swear a lot, also in real life.
I believe it is an effective way to quickly communicate your negative emotions...
It allows other people to easily recognize how frustrated and angry you really are!

I posted this in Debate and Serious talk but it is related to Battlefield 2.
Who here is honestly offended by swearing?
Yes, we all know that it's not the right thing to do in good company, and we refrain from it, but who is offended by it.
If someone says "Fuck" if they are killed in game, are you offended? I know I'm not. I feel that people should be allowed to swear when appropriate, and playing a war game is appropriate.
Fuck, shit, damn, bitch, crap and many others are words. Just that. A lot of people don't even know what these words mean yet are still offended by them.
Who says "shit" and thinks about faecal matter? I don't unless I'm talking about the noun. Or the word "Fuck" thinking about sexual relations? I don't unless I'm talking about the verb.
As a simple exclamaition of frustration or annoyance, swearing is no problem, people need to stop being so PC and stop thinking "Grandma wouldn't like that."

Grandma dosn't play Battlefield 2.

So, what would you think if I was to say "I'm going to fuck your shit up!" ?

I also enjoy using many of the words that many in society see as inapproperate, and I do so often.  When my 2 year old begins to say them, though, I won't like that.  There is a double standard for children for me on this issue, and I'm not quite sure why.  He does say "what's that!" alot, and sometimes runs the words together and mispronounces them enough to make it sound like shit, which is quite funny.

Sticks and stones, but swearing words...

I would like to make a distinction between flame swearing and plain foul language.

I find it a statement of lower intelligence to flame someone, since there are so much more ways the knock one out of his socks... Flame words won't brake any bones, but good wording can So I resent flamers.

But just using foul language... Shit, I don't give a fuck... You're an ass if you do... Than again, I am not native English, and thus here we use English swear words like shit - fuck - cut rather often. Because they sound "softer" than Dutch swear words. If I would use kak - neuk - kut (hehe education at work here ) people would think I am from a mental institution, or have a serious problem and should go to a mental institution. So I believe there is a difference in language culture, and I can understand that the average native English speaker will have more difficulties with the usage of foul (English) language... Than again, the movie educated population wouldn't now any other way...

Cheers,
R

ye badword filters are bullshit, they kick u for saying fuck u, but when u write F**k u can stay and every1 understands what u r saying.

On servers with badword filters i usually swear in dutch, usually that ll be: hoer! (means whore in dutch)

I got warned for saying "shit" on one server. Then I told everyone how stupid I thought the language fliter was by calling it "Gay". Yeah, I got kicked for saying "gay".. how fuckng retarded is that. I really like to play on FMG (Full Metal Gaming) servers but those fucks seriously need to rethink some shit. I say god damnit so often on their servers and never get kicked. Many people have mentioned that the church is the source of curse words, as they were the ones who determined if a world was foul or not. I am pretty sure that they would not like me saying "god damnit" or any other swear words so what is the fucking deal with language filters being so "Gay"?

Words I have been kicked for: puss, pussy, gay, shit, bitch, fuck, ass.
Not been kicked for: wuss, wussy, crap, god damnit.

I think all that I have done, if anything at all, is make servers add more "bad words" to their kick list feature. To all of them I say, " blow me fuck wads".

No kidding.  People can throw garbage out windows, litter, piss in the streets, etc., for minor fines.  But BE CAREFUL!  Someone said "SHIT" on the radio!

Yeah, I think having a language filter in a game where you kill people is pretty much ridiculous.  I think it is an indication of the direction our country is going.  I mean, increasing the fines for swearing on the air to $500000?  Give me a fucking break!  OMG little Billy heard somebody say fuck on the radio!  Of course, little Billy hears the little punks he hangs out with at school say fuck 50 times a day...

Y'see, the problem here is that you're all desensitised to the cursing going on about you. Most of the forums I frequent (and especially the one I moderate) don't tolerate swearing in an effort to remain 'family friendly' (i.e. a place where mum and dad don't mind 8 year old Johnny Choirboy, who really is a choirboy, hanging out) so wandering into this thread I have to admit I'm cringing a little, simply because I don't associate the word 'fuck' with internet forums. Though I suspect after this I will

Do I curse? Certainly, sometimes like a trooper. Do I curse in-game over in-game events? No, frankly nothing that happens in an online game is worth the bother of swearing. The most you'll get from me is a resigned shake of the head and an itch to kill someone (online of course ).

Do I get offended when folks swear in BF2? No, (though I must admit I do often mentally tag folks who can't find an alternative to swearing and seem to do nothing but swear when things don't go their way in an online game as perhaps a little immature) I just figure if they're busy typing 'Fuck you dipshit!' that it's more time for me to sneak up on them and put them out of their misery...

Then why have ratings for games?  Since its only pretend, we can let a 5 yr old play it...
