Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

    For me, it’s just uninteresting and pointless, and detracts from when I might use them for emphasis, if they are used all the time.

    I also find a lot of popular media leans on vulgar as the entire end game. Like a comedy where the only attempt at being funny is saying words you’re not “supposed” to stay. Use your language as you wish, but you better have something more to bring to the table than a willingness to say “dirty” words.

    Admittedly, it’s not as much a thing as it used to be. With media not caring much about language anymore, it stopped even in theory being funny by itself, but there was a time in the 80s and 90s where a number of personalities were nothing but swearing in contexts they weren’t “supposed” to, and it was so boring.

    So that carries forward to why I don’t bother to swear, because I found it so unimaginative then and that stuck with me.
