A silent thread for the word "fuck"

[gollygee]

43. OK I didn't understand what that thread was complaining about either

but at least that makes this thread makes sense.

People complaining about The Rude Pundit's language seem to only be upset about the use of misogynist, racist, and homophobic language, regardless of whether it's considered vulgar. I am guessing that's what led to this "fuckety fuck" or whatever it is thread, but it isn't a direct link. More of a weird tangent.

I don't care if anyone uses "fuck" but I don't like oppressive language. I do like the Rude Pundit generally, and I'll admit I'd like it if he avoided misogynist, homophobic, and racist language, though I wasn't involved in the particular thread hide in question and I don't think it would have occurred to me to hide it (as I expect stuff from The Rude Pundit and wouldn't notice as much.)

We are adults. I think it's reasonable to ask us to be welcoming to groups that suffer oppression in our society and to avoid language that is part of that oppression, since this is a progressive community, but the word "fuck" doesn't oppress anyone unless it's in some specific context that's questionable - and then it would be the context and not the word.
