Why is "profanity" a tag of shame? If I every posted any fiction on there it would be literally every single post XD (I have some foul-mouthed uncouth characters)

I don't know if it's a majority (maybe?) but I think what a lot of people want is things to be exactly as they want it how they want when they want and anyone who refuses to accept that their narrow-minded view is the only possible good and right and true has to be harshly punished and excised from existence so that they don't have to put up with things not being to their exacting standards.

I came to the conclusion long ago that very few people are going to like what I'm making and if they hate it for whatever reason they are more than welcome to bugger off elsewhere to something they prefer so their opinions don't rate XD

It isn't really a badge of shame, haha, you know my fiction is like that! It's just the principal of it, other people deciding whether something is profane and labeling it. If asked, I would do it myself when I thought it was appropriate. But I'm serious about the list being a long one, including words that not even FB would take issue with lol! And it's pointless because the algorithm wouldn't catch screenshots of swear words, so anyone who truly dislikes the idea would always get around it XD

I think I'm just slightly irritated with people and their crusades lately. I never was a fan of cliques and there's more of them now than any other point in my lifetime. You nailed it with narrow minded, but even worse they're adopting these narrow viewpoints like it's the cool thing to do.

Most of the time I ignore it, I just felt like venting :)

I'm guessing the problem is inflicting it on everyone else? :)

LoL! XD And that's a thing that a lot of people (mostly the ones in governments) seem to be too dumb to get, no matter how desperately you try to control everything, people will always find a way to make another option XD

We must be getting old in our old age, wonder if this is what our parents felt like when we were on our various crusades XD

Or were you more chill as a kid? :)

I can't even.

Fair enough on the venting, sometimes stuff just has to come out doesn't it XD

My parents were oblivious to my crusading 😂 But yeah, I'm a passionate person, so I definitely had a few. However, as much of a dreamer as I am, I'm also logical. So if I was worked up over something and someone pointed out why it was illogical, I would take that into account. I didn't crusade just for the sake of crusading, and I didn't hop on bandwagons...I either started them or broke them apart lol!
