violatoralligator:mudkimp:captlok:mudkimp:multiple-crosses:captlok:captlok:harmaavaara:semperfi4life:I concur. Excessive gives a cheap and vulgar impression. But hardly base for offence in itself.I just want to make clear again that unlike the above classism, my objections to some swearing is sexism based (f*** is a synonym for rape, b**** is a worse insult to a man than a woman) and religion based (h*** and therefore d*** are not Biblically sound). Shit and ass I’m ok with, but I’m going to try to remember, moving forward, and maybe even some retroactively, to put trigger warnings regardless of if it’s censored or not. Warning for upsetting imagery. Anyone who doubts f*** is a synonym for rape … even if you don’t hang out with them, have you never overheard cishet guys?? “That test f***ed me in the ***” “I’ll f*** you with a garden hose,” “we’re being f***ed so hard” “you haven’t even felt the tip of the dick yet, it’s gonna f*** you, and there’s nothing you can do about it” “F*** you” “F*** you with a rusty spoon” A sampling of phrases heard both online and off. ‘Flicking someone off’ is also meant to suggest a penis thrusting up into you. In other countries, their gestures are even more obvious about this- like I don’t remember what Latin or South American place it was, but the whole forearm is used, and the motion is jutting and exaggerated. In fact, in many of the original Hebrew passages of the Bible, before that word was even invented, the idea of metaphorically raping someone when you were screwing up their life was there. Rich men were f***ing the poor. I’m modern lingo, they “were f***ed.” “I’m f***ed” means being dominated and hurt by a situation. The level of concrete-ness of that concept depends only on your background. You know how women have rape fantasies? Well guess what … guys do too. As in, they have fantasies where they overpower someone instead of being in the receiving end. Just like womens’ rape fantasies, this is a lot more common than you think. It was recorded for posterity in the book 1984. It seeps out in their language. If you’re privileged enough to come from a background that frowns on violence and expressing violence, then great. That doesn’t mean these things don’t exist. Luckily I haven’t been exposed to it much, either, but I’ve heard from plenty of women who have. You wonder why the f word is given special status as the baddest of the bad? This is why. So when someone tells you the f word is upsetting, listen to them. F*** you means rape. F*** [insert any organization or individual] essentially means you think they deserve rape. Just because you may not mean it that way, doesn’t mean that isn’t what half of your audience is hearing. Shut the fuck up.This is so amazingWatching the emergence of this generation’s 1990s Christian momsIts fucking surreal“Feminists should shut up” Oh I’m on that part of Tumblr now, am I… I was using the Bible to illustrate the timelessness of male violence and its thematic and cultural impact, but by all means, continue fixating on it. When did I mention feminism?what the fuck is going on here“fuck tw” “bitch tw” do you have a seizure when someone calls you a faggot -- source link
