I'm still learning about how people use curses and think it's interested to learn why some people think cursing will lead them to hell, or something of the sorts.

And honestly, as long as it's not derogatory and downright MEAN [insert Taylor Swift gif], I think cussing is fine because we're all mature people here. The bookish community is really friendly, so I think it shouldn't be a problem! I cuss, so.... I'm biased.

I've gotten used to it in the past few years so I don't usually get offended - most times, it even makes me laugh. However, there <i>should</i> be a line that shouldn't be crossed while cursing. Like, cursing a person directly just to offend or insult them. That's just mean.<br /><br />Great post!Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551640427536370759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-45748873719766095042016-04-02T17:48:00.620-04:002016-04-02T17:48:00.620-04:00I really don't care about cursing, I don;t fin...I really don't care about cursing, I don;t find it offensive and like you, most of the time I find it hilarious.

I haven't really ever thought about it, haha. I just like my blog to be a representation of me and I swear, so I don't pretend otherwise.

It's not just swears but also bad-mouthing a book can be used in a crude way where the person writing the crude comment may think that their comment is helping people distinguish between reading the book or not.

Personally, it doesn't bother me. BUT, I think there's probably a line, too. Just because if a post is 50% curse words, well, you're not really saying much haha. Otherwise, have at it. As long as it isn't directed at an individual or group, and isn't hateful, it absolutely doesn't bother me. Oh, and I usually use them mostly for emphasis. When a book isn't just GOOD, it's the best ------ing book I have ever read ;) Shannon @ It Starts at Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043593641190645773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-77637531915629562722016-03-03T02:01:35.171-05:002016-03-03T02:01:35.171-05:00I curse a lot in person, but I never curse online....I curse a lot in person, but I never curse online. Weird I know, but I just felt uncomfortable cursing in front of the whole world where I don't really know you guys. What if I offend someone?? When I curse in real life, everyone already knows me so they won't be offended. I could handle curse words in review, sometimes they're funny and I could picture how angry they are when they wrote the review, but too much and it makes me uncomfortable.<br /><br />Tasya // <a href="http://theliteraryhuntress.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Literary Huntress</a>Tasyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406801926412663049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-26111308585339830292016-03-02T22:06:30.411-05:002016-03-02T22:06:30.411-05:00I don't mind cursing in posts, but if it's...I don't mind cursing in posts, but if it's a curse every other word, then I have a problem. There reaches a point when it goes too far. And even when it isn't excessive, I still tend to not read blogs that have a lot of cursing. Granted, if I think their content is good, I'm not going to abandon their blog just because they swear occasionally, but if it's more swearing than good content, I'm obviously going to unfollow. Also, I personally don't use a lot of swearing in my posts--I used swear words once, but they were asterisked and blacked out (it was in a reactions post for Illuminae) so I don't really know if that counts...? Anyway, I understand if people like to curse, but sometimes it can be extremely unnecessary and it can sometimes be used as filler words, which bothers me.

I may use a word here and there, but I try to use it rarely. As for what others do on their blog I don't care since I'm an adult, but I do think we all have to aware that there may be younger followers reading the posts.

I'm not a prude, but UGH I just don't like it xD The occasional slip or need to vent makes sense and I'm OK with that, but constant streams of cursing makes me insta-unfollow or less likely to check out the person's blog. I just don't like that negativity surrounding me, ya know? Rachel https://www.blogger.com/profile/06616299360211920794noreply@blogger.com
