I agree, actually, in this case. Although I guess it depends on the context.

Posted by: Jane_Citizen on Feb 28, 21:14 in response to grammar's post Certainly some of them but I would venture to say that...

For example, if they're trying to show the specific kind of abuse that a child suffered, it would be good to be clear about what language was actually used so that it's not softened. If it's not that important to the context (let's say an interview subject says 'what happened to Jane was f***ed up'), then I wouldn't see the harm in bleeping it.

FWIW, I inserted those asterixes right there MYSELF. :)

MF: Just Bleep The F&^#ing Profanity: Why Getting A PG-13 For BULYP Is More Important Than Fighting The MPAA. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Feb 28, 20:51

The Roto totally disagrees with this strategy. Like it or not, this is how kids talk (and text). {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Feb 28, 20:52

Fuck, man, plenty of adults, too. Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:03

OOOOH! {nm} Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:03

It's not "OOOOH!", it's "BLEEP!" :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Feb 28, 21:08

There's no sense of naughty thrill in 'bleep' :) {nm} Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:11

Touche. :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Feb 28, 21:20

Wholly ... we are getting bleeped anymore? lol JaneC! {nm} grammar Feb 28, 21:05

'aren't' {nm} grammar Feb 28, 21:06

Selectively, apparently ... :) :) {nm} Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:06

We'll soon find out I'm sure but if the F bomb gets thru anything is possible. {nm} grammar Feb 28, 21:07

Probably it's best that my internal message appears as I had anticipated, though. Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:09

You get one swear per billion H$ {nm} RogerMore Feb 28, 21:11

And I wasted mine on a dumb gag ... {nm} Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:15

Onwards to $2 billion, then! {nm} Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:15

Seeing as I've got two and I won't use them, I'll give mine to you :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Feb 28, 21:20

Awww... it's kind to give a gift you wouldn't yourself like but you know someone else will :) {nm} Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:28

The comma through off the auto-censor {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 29, 05:09

Has anyone on this board not seen or heard that word before? And if so, have your delicate sensibilities been destroyed from reading it? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 29, 02:37

I'll never look at the world the same way again! *sob* :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Feb 29, 13:56

Certainly some of them but I would venture to say that kids 13 and under - not the majority. I believe kids should see this movie but grammar Feb 28, 21:04

I agree, actually, in this case. Although I guess it depends on the context. Jane_Citizen Feb 28, 21:14

whats it matter, aint one teen in this whole country interested in going to see a weinstein documentary {nm} islander Feb 28, 22:23

AGREE {nm} ReaperXXX Feb 29, 00:00

yeah but, yeah but, schools might wanna show it to their students. {nm} Jane_Citizen Feb 29, 00:25

I wonder if part of the hoopla over it is apprehension at realizing that yes, this is how kids converse. {nm} BorderLand Feb 29, 05:48

I have to say this looks like it's about the saddest movie ever. A debate over swear words seems to miss the point. Chest Rockwell Feb 29, 08:02
