by extension, should 'kanker' or 'tering' be filtered? spoken as an appreciator of dutch but by no means a fluent speaker, i've always loved the dutch custom of using illnesses as insults :)
Kolere (cholera), too. Do you want minors to use or learn such words? My answer to that question is a resounding 'no'. Although to be fair, not always is such a word harmful or toxic.
i mean, frankly, if the words aren't rooted in societal prejudice, i don't really care much *. kids have to go through a phase of exploring language and part of that is swearing and insults. i was lucky to have parents who explained to me that sometimes it's okay to swear but to measure your situation and environment and act accordingly - a lesson framed in language but applicable to all aspects of life.
plus it's real funny when kids say "shit".
* even still, this can be an opportunity for learning empathy. i definitely accidentally switched a slur i'd read for a totally different term of endearment when talking to a friend as a kid and... well, i regret it a lot but i never did it again.
I do not mind an occasional swear + excuse me, if genuine. We all make mistakes. In WoW, some people can rage, or an entire realm spams Anal [Achievement]. E.g. Anal [You're Doing It Wrong] or (and this one I find terribly inappropriate) Anal [For The Children]. Sure, I can see humor in such, too, but repeated endless and some combos are disgusting...
