Rebuttle.
Maybe I missed my mark in the last post I did, but I was attempting to indicate that there really is NO SUCH THING AS AN OFFENSIVE WORD. Only offensive meanings.
Words are only offensive because we put meaning behind them.
The word fuck, for example, is an extremely degrading word when used as an explicitive. The fact of the matter is, the word fudge is absolutely no different.
If I say “Oh fudge” instead of “Oh fuck” in an attempt to offend less people, the point is actually quite moot, because my MEANINGS AND INTENTIONS behind the word didn’t change at all.
Blah

There’s always going to be someone who just doesn’t get it.
F*cking censorship.
