I agree! When its done well.

I think The Good Place is one of my favorites

[(Anonymous)]

That and Battlestar Galactic were the ones that immediately sprang to my mind! BG did it first but I though TGP did it best.

[(Anonymous)]

I frakking love BSG's use, and I like the general logic of it: of course these military-type folks are going to swear, but we need to keep the language down for the time slot, so frak it, make up a word.

[(Anonymous)]

Farscape did it before BSG, my friend. Frell and dren rolled off the tongue so well.

[(Anonymous)]

No, BSG did it before Farscape, my friend.

The original BSG aired in 1978 and used them. Scifi has a long, long history of creative censored curses.

[(Anonymous)]

Touche! I'd forgotten about the old BSG!

[(Anonymous)]

The guitar riff censor on Metalocalypse always amuses me.

[(Anonymous)]

I do kind of like Battlestar Galactica's frack and felgercarb.

But when I think about profanity at all, it becomes kind of ridiculous to me. Someone just somehow decided that some words are bad and are curse words, while others are acceptable, even if they mean the same thing, and we've all sort of stuck to it.

[philstar22]

I agree. I think that slurs should be bleeped, but otherwise, why?

I vaguely recall a comic called Adventurers! that was inspired by JRPGs. It initially used “spoony” as a swear word, because of “You spoony bard!” in Final Fantasy IV. It went on to “knife,” “utensil,” and after a great deal of buildup, “fork you.”

And when it's done poorly, like for a TV airing of an R-rated movie, it can be a beautiful thing. In this house, we respect Samuel L Jackson's heartfelt disdain for melon farmers.

[(Anonymous)]

I respect those brother truckers who keep on keeping on, no matter the level of hostility aimed at them from so many.

[(Anonymous)]

This reminds me of a day when my brother and I watched "The Faculty" on basic cable and they all kept shouting "Foo-ey".

[(Anonymous)]

The Belgium aside in Hitchhiker's Guide is hilarious and I love it.

But I h*te when people cens*or words for the alg*rithm.

It cuts both ways.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh God, the algorithmic censoring drives me nuts.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, when people censor themselves for algorithm purposes, especially in places where there IS no goddamn algorithm, I just assume they have nothing of importance to say anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

ah yes, the tiktok kids trying to post on ao3

[(Anonymous)]

if you got a big (elephant noise) lemme search it
and find out how hard I gotta work it

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty to hard to top this exercise in sound-FX censoring by Eric Idle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTzM3NnjUuw

[greghousesgf]

The only example of that I really liked was Joel opening an umbrella in front of tits in MST3K.

[(Anonymous)]

The difference in attitude between the two, too. It's "swearing is Ontologically Evil Probably but also we can't just write around it :(" vs "we don't actually give a fuck about bad language but someone does that's too important to just blow off so we're gonna have fun placating them"

Re: some of the examples mentioned. In TGP I first thought it was clever, because making people censor themselves when they swear it's another way to add annoyance to the situation, but then it turns out The Real Good Place censors swearing too, which turned it weirdly moralistic. And I just don't like "frak" in BSG, it doesn't roll off the tongue at all lol.

The one I did like was "float" in The 100, because it had worldbuilding implications that went way beyond being a substitute of "fuck" and made it slightly horrifying; in that world, adults living in a space station were executed for virtually any crime as a means of population control, and the method was by "floating" aka throwing them into space. So "go float yourself" had an extra kick to it.
