We don't need to bring up religion in a discussion of the validity of curse filters. It just leads to trolling and rage.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!
Let's all gather around the campfire and listen to Uncle Zarro's crazy backwards knowledge. Today's topic:
vocabulary.
Vocabulary, in the personal sense, is the number of words you know, and how to apply them in different, yet correct ways. Using a noun as a noun, a verb as a verb, and anything in between as correct conjunction between the two, as well as explanations to help emphasize how important a noun or verb may be.
"Ball" can be any form of spherical throwing object, while "Big ball" goes ahead and tells someone that "that ball is certainly larger than what one might assume".
On the topic of curse words and their uses,
it isn't that the word is used, it's how you use it. Even the most offensive slang is not an insult unless you use it as such. Any sort of pilgrimage to avoid the use of the word entirely, simply because you do not understand how it can or cannot be used, is both outrageous and pretty damn pointless.
So let's use that as an example now. "Damn pointless". For all intensive purposes, your grandma might shake her cane at me for my foul language, but it's an emphasis on the word "pointless", to make the word stand out more. This however is a much less insulting emphasis than, say, "Pretty fucking pointless", which would bring the concept across as a much stronger, bolder statement. Which is not always how you want to use it, as you'll just sound like a douche.
So let's look at the most majorly used curse, and explore possible uses themselves! (And if you complain after this post that I used them, you're missing the entire point!)
Fuck:
One of the reasons the F-bomb is used a lot in general interweb speech is because "I'm right, you all suck". It is probably the strongest emphasis you can give to a word, and as such carries a lot of a bad wrap behind it in the curse filter.
Fuck is an English word that is generally considered profane which, in its most literal meaning, refers to the act of sexual intercourse. However, by extension it may be used to negatively characterize anything that can be dismissed, disdained, defiled, or destroyed.
But the real use is how you use it, so we'll look at two examples.
"Screw your fucking face"
Now that wasn't very nice. This is clearly a direct insult to one's physical body, and an insult to them directly. This is the case were you may feel insulted, and want to retaliate, or simply shove a red ring down their throat.
"Fucking moving platforms!"
This isn't so much an insult, but an emphasis on how annoying the moving platforms are in this case. Do you feel insulted because someone emphasized how much of an annoyance the moving platforms are? Are the moving platforms your friends? Do you immediately picture R34 of said platforms? I would certainly hope not.
In closing (TL;DR), It isn't the word itself or it's direct definition that you read in a websters 1996, it's how you use it in emphasis to a situation. If someone directly insults you, go ahead and ban them from the game if they're that far out of line. Otherwise,
IGNORE IT. They are yelling at a void of nothing, and don't so much expect a response, as an agreement.
There is nothing to filter but words that mean many things. And to remove an entire word because of only one of its many uses, you may as well remove the entire dictionary because of only one of its many words.
(This has been another: pointless moment)
