It’s the opposite of cool. Cringey as fuck, is what it is.
If you don’t want to use a word, fucking don’t. Use a fucking synonym, for fuck’s sake, or phrase it differently.
But don’t go making your bullshit harder to read just so you can justify to yourself using a word that makes you feel uncomfortable because you’re too damaged to function properly in society. Doing that you’re being the worst kind of hypocrite, because you’re only lying to yourself.
Cool…? Fucking pathetic is the word you’re looking for.
A lot of behaviors are learned and people have learned that using profanity in most places gets you in trouble. I don’t think it’s fair to berate anyone for what is essentially a social expectation in many other circles.
Good thing Lemmy isn’t like that. But, please, lighten the fuck up.
You seem very upset about this.
An adult choosing to slightly censor a word has you in meltdown mode. Gosh.
