You're the only one making assumptions and you've been grossly incorrect on every single angle.   But keep swinging for the fences.

Swearing show's a lack of vocabulary.

Swearing show's a lack of vocabulary.

Not swearing shows lack of emotion or a non healthy form of self suppression. Like Mr Flanders in Simpsons who hot diddley-doo's and laughs when he hits his toe.

May you live long enough and attain enough wisdom in the process to review this post, forever trapped on the internet, and wince.

Again, I suggest that muting require complaints from actual players.  So Charly Church assumes that I want everyone to swear a lot.

All I'm saying is that our automatic filters are draconian and it is way too easy to offend the game program (that doesn't even have feelings to hurt).

 I'm far from a Charlie church type person but I do have common sense and respect for other players not to cuss like some uneducated fool in a game, sorry you can't seem to wrap your simple mind around that concept.

Keep suppressing your emotions and expression due to social pressure. Your heart will thank you later!

That's the first thing my doctor says every visit.

'Are you cussing enough to stay healthy?'

'Not really. I'm a grown-up.'

'You are so gonna die.'

'Someday.'

There was the one episode where he snaps and says "ding dong crap". Such potty mouth talk

I think I should be allowed to run around naked in public and bang any girl I see who interests me.  Who cares if it's someone's wife or daughter.  I have expectations.  And if someone else has the same expectation at the same time then we fight for it and the winner takes the spoils.  And if the Duddly Do Right's don't like seeing it in public then they can look away.  No one's forcing them to watch.

We are animals after all right?  Most of the animal kingdom is structured this way with few exceptions and it works for them.  In fact, being male and the stronger of the species, females should be nothing more than sex slaves and those children that survive should be slave labor until such time as they have the strength to compete or they die.  When the old farts are too weak to compete or labor they should be banished to fend for themselves until they die.

Who needs society?  I should be able to take whatever I want from anyone weaker than me.  We should all live by our own rules and if the Duddly Do Rights don't like it we should kill them.  Survival of the fittest and genetically correct propagation of the species should be all that matter.  Art, science, technology?  Who needs it.  And bartering systems!  Hah.  Give me a break.

Ahh for the days of raw sewage flowing down the streets.  Malaria, Diphtheria, Bubonic Plague. Leprosy... those were the days.  We should have killed the Duddly Do Right whiners; those weak intellectuals who thought we could advance through collaboration.  They ruined it for those of us with expectations that we should be able to do whatever the h*** we want.  Frikken church goers and Texans won't even let me swear properly in this thread.

Extreme?  Nah.  Just making sure I'm not suppressing my inner animal due to societal pressure.  I have expectations.

Sorry to break it to you but if you won't bang anyone who is the wife or daughter of someone you have no other options except to bang men.   Besides you made a strawman argument, cussing in the heat of battle can't be compared to a sexual assault or running around naked (which by the way is completely ok in my book especially if it's a pretty girl doing that).

It has always been the cause of wonder and ridicule how a society can freak out on showing nipples or bad words in a game which simulates war and killing people. So it's completely ok to blow someones head off repeatedly at 10 years old as long as you don't see any bad words in chat. Riiiighhtt...  

Instead of being uptight and hypocritical / politically correct, the discussion should IMO concentrate on the detrimental aspect for gameplay immersion in general. In battle it was much more likely for someone to swear or beg help from God than discuss politics or how their lawn mower spilled its oil yesterday. So 200 in itself is detrimental if it's not strictly limited to discussion about gameplay.

Dominance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More like stumbling to strawmen.

Ripley, your assumption that NOT cussing is a result of repressing emotions is no more than an excuse for poor impulse control, which in itself is an indicator of an anti-social personality. That you advocate for it so strongly is an indicator of an inability to understand normal social behavior and conform to the expected norms. I cuss, unfortunately, in game, and if I get a mute, it's MY OWN FAULT, not some moderator who is doing what he's supposed to do. These whines about moderators and mutes and "we can't cuss like we want to" threads show that the level of maturity in this game is lowering, which is a shame, since one of the things I like about this type sim is the older age of most players. Grow up, look into buying a dictionary and a thesaurus and expand your vocabulary.
