Why is ?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Why is cussing allowed on this site . Was just wondering . I see some F bombs dropped . If kids are out here why is it tolerated.I am new so all you people who have been here awhile dont get your undies in a bundy by me asking this question. I think this is a valid question. Everyone have a nice day. Not one F bomb was used in the making of this question. I see people out here critizing my spelling and other peoples spelling and then in the next sentence they are dropping the F bomb real smart .. Everyone have a nice a great day..
I count 3 "F Bombs" in your post, so stop lying :P
Anyways, it's allowed because the crew had faith in people not overusing it.
Read that I wrote "had" faith.
And I thought this site wasn't for tiny babies in the first place.
(Although I know they're out there those under 14 year old pricks ruining perfectly good threads with their virigin ways of handling a woman on the internet)
May I ask, are you related to a man who likes Govertments and cheese?
If not,
Swear words are tolerated on this site, because the staff tolerate it, I guess they belive that it's 2010, and people should be able to say what they feel, and Swear words allow them to express themselves with more honesty, and Suspending people due to a word that is not directed in hate towards another user should not affect anybody.
I will link you to the FAQ hold up.
Seriously, how is it any different from a kid being around other kids in high school? In my school atleast, everyone was swearing. Nobody made a big deal of it because it was just how we talked. Nobody dropped a C-bomb that often (though that's changed as we've grown up), but ti still came out every now and then.
Here is my welcoming post.
So if you aren't a troll I hope you have a GoodN
Sup dude,
You're not officially a duder until you read these threads,
If you haven't seen all of the content that the staff have created, you can check all of the choice cuts here.
We have a Community Spotlight thread, as you will come to appreciate, We are a close knit community and it's good to see and promote all the stuff that we create, And that means you too as well, :)
If you are going to be on the forums at all, Please read the forum rules and FAQ,
And here is a thread created by the community Moderators regarding posting Youtube Videos and links.
GB also has a Wiki style Database, It's pretty cool, If you have the stones to write some good content, spray that knowledge all over our faces :)
Also, as you'll read in the FAQ, we have loose rules, You can bend em' but don't break em'
So you can fucking say what you fucking like but don't go fucking overboard with it, :)
Hope you enjoy your Giant Bomb experience :)

I've noticed people jumping on my swearing on the forum a few times, saying I'm trying to act tough etc because of my swearing, even though I've said many times it's part of my vocab and I don't mean anything by it. Maybe it's different in USA/UK/Europe/Asia? I dunno, never been.
If you are not old enough, or mature enough to handle some swearing, you should probably get as far away from this site as possible.
People here will indeed swear, but rarely will the usual Ill will that accompanies swearing in general actually be used to target others, unless they're douchebags having an internet dick swinging competition.
To me, this site is a very relaxing online experience lol.
And guys, quit saying cunt... I hate that word.... sounds dirty.

They were so heavy on the not swearing part that talking about AssAssins Creed would turn into a conversation about "********* Creed"

But yeah, that would make for some interesting convos, imagine trying to say the game title like this A S S A S S ins creed, and then getting an email telling you that you were subverting the censors and getting a point off of your grade. Hahaha
That's why I never used the forums at all, it's all BS.
Well those are the little 14 yo kids playing halo which I think has made their virgin ears bleed worse than the things posted on this site. Plus, they even curse on the videos and bombcasts so technically this site isn't intended for kids, its for gamers who are able to express themselves however they like.
Because this isn't a site specifically for children. And If I was a child, I would be much more offended at being treated as such than I would be by seeing a naughty combination of letters.
The only people that are truly concerned about cursing are the parents of the children who don't care.
I'll write whatever the hell I want here on this site! As long as it isnt offensive to anyone or braking the rules of course. To get things straight, lets remember that cussing is a way of expressing ourselfs. So if your out there trying to get your opinions out to others, throw som fucking "foul" laungish out there so they know you are serious!
" Fuck. That is all. "I approve of this message.
Oh and by the way, its a word, you put the meaning behind it have you ever seriously tried to think about how a word can be "bad" its a silly human thing, you have been told the words are taboo your entire life so you just come to accept it as fact.
thats my point of view on cussing. anyway, 'cuss words' arent forbidden because they are, like i said above, necessary in some cases and they help you make a fucking point. as long as we acknowledge them, they'll remain a problem. if we accept them as an important part of speech, soon enough you wont notice them out of context anymore and wont hear any kids overusing them because TO THEM they are just another set of words with their own usage (if you raised them without pointing out what cuss words are)
Fucking Fuck Fuckity Fuck.
This world is harsh unfortunately, so if there are kids on this site, they will hear these words sometime soon enough in their life.
How does dropping the F bomb make you uneducated? I think that's an unfair correlation."I see people out here critizing my spelling and other peoples spelling and then in the next sentence they are dropping the F bomb real smart .."
On the other-hand, most of the people who where criticizing you where probably a-holes.
......but we all aren't. The ability to drop the F bomb is just a freedom.
" I think that the people out here who worry so much about spelling and proper gramar and then swear are hypocrits. "The last time I checked, spelling "fuck" wrong still applies to bad spelling. There's nothing hypocritical about caring about good spelling and grammar and swearing.
I'm not huge fan of swearing, but they keep things fast and loose here. Keeps me from getting banned too quickly.
Here's a valid question for you - why do you associate the use of such words to a lack of intelligence?, as your choice of wording suggests - "smart".
What hypocrisy do you see in somebody pointing out bad grammer or spelling, and then choosing to swear?.
I fail to see any bearing their swearing has on the validity of their initial criticism.
I don't give a fuck about the copious amounts of swearing on this site, I'm thankful that everyone here (above the age of 14 - read the rules and ToS) is free to express themselves as they please, within good reason. Swearing is not deemed offensive here because it's recongized as being integral to the culture of modern language in the world today. The Oxford dictionary has the word "fuck" and "cunt" within it, with very good reason - both are commonly used and have been de-vulgarized in their prevalent usage.
" @creamypies said:Yeah?! Well at least I didn't drop a Vinny." So FUCK YOU! "Now, you see, thats just bad behavior... "
" @SPACETURTLE said:" @creamypies said:Yeah?! Well at least I didn't drop a Vinny. "" So FUCK YOU! "Now, you see, thats just bad behavior... "
Cute
So it doesnt matter what the dictionary has in it . So when your next to a female police officer call her the c word or if your ever in court use the f bomb in court use that word in front of the judge see where it gets you.Just because you can does not mean you should. And yes using vulgar/swear words does show a sign of low intelengance. Oh buy the why why dont you use one of the words on your job resume see where it gets you. I really do not want to argue with everyone but come on cussing and swearing in an open forum is not cool. That is my opinion and I am sticking with this opinion it has served me well. Everyone have a nice day.
I think that swearing is allowed because it doesn't really matter. If I slip some profanity into what I put on the site, it is usually with good reason. Either that or I am talking about an M rated game where anyone who is playing it should be more than able to handle a reasonably placed "fuck" especially if 10 year olds are going to play Gears of War on live and listen to Marcus spew obscenities every time his weapon jams.
Profanity is allowed because the users here can tolerate and understand it. And because *most* of us are mature enough to use it when appropriate or not at all. We also have had some practice ignoring posts that are full of things like ALL CAPS and constant profanity.
I don't swear to offend anyone on here. But I can see the humor and appeal behind the Rogue Warrior Quick Look. I believe that if you are dealing with M-Rated video game content, that you should be able to deal with M-Rated language.
Just because swearing is not polite it doesn't prove lack of intelligence... But first lets take a look at your post." So it doesnt matter what the dictionary has in it .

Missed apostrophes in "doesnt" and "dont"but probably should not be abbreviating words at all if trying to prove intelligence. Which also has spelling issues in your post. Wrong iteration of the word "buy" and using the word "why" instead of way. Damn... Only a picture can say what I need to say.
I am going to start proof reading my posts before putting it on the site .I noticed that after I had allready sent it on it,s way.Thanks .Glad you never have made a mistake and that you can spare time to point out my mistakes . Thank you . You are right I will try to do better . I will take my time more .Again thank you.
The day I have to carry myself on Giantbomb.com as I would in front of a police officer, a judge, or at work, is the day I stop logging into GB." So it doesnt matter what the dictionary has in it .

So remeber that when I mispell a word or misplace a period this is not english class and mistakes are made.Again mispelling a word on here is worse the swearing that just seems backwords. Remember dont get your undies in a bundy. It is just my opinion on the cussing thing not really a big deal . I will take my chill pill and everybody elese can take there,s and we will be all medicated and it wont matter.
if you are going to hipocritimasize people for the words they choose to use then make sure you are un hipocritimasizable, especially on the internet.
also, i like pillz
