People who see it as an immature way to communicate won't use the words at all. People who are actually immature despite growing up will use the word and think it makes a difference if they put an asterisk in there instead of spelling it out.
I just don’t understand what possible effect this has on your life. It’s not even low stakes, there are no stakes. You are just judging somebody for how they want to communicate. Why does that matter to you? Do you want people to judge you and lecture you for using profanity? Of course not. Live and let live dude. It doesn’t matter.
I am not judging people for using profanity, I am judging people for thinking fuck vs f*ck makes a difference.
The whole point is you don’t need to judge anybody for anything because this has literally no bearing on your life. We get it, you’re cool. You say fuck. Who cares what others do? Just leave them alone lmao it’s not that difficult! It’s literally doing nothing at all!
