My point was, dnwq, to not have the words at all. Would you rather have someone say "Aww, S**t/S***/****" or "Aww, Sugar"?<br>By replacing them, it adds a somewhat childish nature to it, thus making the real meaning not so blatently obvious to the younger viewers. Catch my drift?<br>I could understand the part about "Fudge you", because that does seem obvious. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br>The older folks, who can understand it, will know my plight.<br>And if someone isn't mature enough to understand it, then for me, the mission is accomplished. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>If not, then how should it be limited?

Actually, the replacing idea is really good. I could make them replaced with words that are used in O&M. :P<br><br>Any suggestions?

There's also "Dangit, I forgot! Booger booger booger"... etc. *Millie reading her lines during rehearsal*<br><br>Oh, and she also said "bottom" in that one about exercising her freedom. *grin*

I like the idea of changing some swear words (such as s*** into poo) in order to preserve family friendliness -- but some swear words, there simply isn't any sense in being spoken here. C*** (taco of death) is one of them -- so rather than changing it into something, just star it out and be done with it. Seriously, I can see the humor in changing s*** into poo, and it fits with the strip, but there isn't an appropriate transform for c*** and there isn't an appropriate use of the word in an O&M context anyway.<br><br>And, of course, racism, sexism, anti-homosexual-ism, anti-religion-ism, whatever -- none of those should have a place here, though there may be legitimate reason to discuss homosexuality, religion, race, and other topics. If you're going to ban "hate speech", make sure to be uniform about it -- if someone makes a nasty remark about fundamentalist Muslims or Christians, come down on it just as hard as you would if someone made the same remarks about gays or jews or blacks, and vice versa (all too often "tolerance" excludes the Western religions.) And at the same time, be careful not to come down on legitimate criticism of any idea or group -- even if it's from a perspective you don't share.

[Zel-kun]

Well, while I personally don't swear, I feel that even some younger readers are mature enough to deal with swearing. But, I can not agree more that it should be kept to a minimum.<br><br>*chuckle* Taco Of Death. Funny, if a little weird.

[simon]

I think Ozy and Millie fans wouldn't swear too much anyway, or atleast not here where you don't need it.

[ravage]

I doubt calling someone a fudgepacker would be a good idea...
