I have never seen such sheer amounts of butthurt in my life.

I've been meaning to post this here for a long time now, but I'm sure you all know about how the movie The Wolf of Wall Street broke the record for the amount of F-bombs. Let me tell you something, the response on MSN.com and basically almost every other news comments section has been one big circlejerk of holier-than-thou, butthurt assholes who believe that the word "Fuck" is going to lead to the decline of western civilization. And I am going to be responding to those comments.

"Hollywood movies now are just pure garbage. The scrip's that are written up are just swear words, violence, and sexual situations every five minutes. Its as bad as televisions shows, which in-between violence and non-sense comedies and ignorance cartoon shows. entertainment today just su*ks ."

First of all, it's spelled S-C-R-I-P-T-S not "scrip's". Second of all, I love how you just cherry pick the bad movies that have come out in recent years and compleltey ignore the good. Life of Pi was fucking beautiful, The Avengers was awesome and Lone Survivor seems like a really good picture. Also there are a lot of good TV shows like Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory and Bobs Burgers. And just because a show as a lot of sex, violence, and cursing in it doesn't mean that it is bad. Casino was amazing even thought it said fuck a ton of times and had scenes of torture and violence. Just because YOU don't like cursing and violence in TV doesn't mean that NO ONE can. That just makes you a holier-than-thou asshole. This isn't the 1950s anymore, it's 20fucking14. Get over yourself.

"Well, I for one will skip it then. I thought it sounded interesting - but I hear the f word enough at work, don't want to hear it in my free relaxing time."

OH A MOVIE SAID FUCK IN IT, HOW DARE THEY! Are you relaxing right now? Are you enjoying your free time? Ok then, let me tell you something.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

"Intelligent people don't resort to profanity to communicate!"

CORRECTION.
People that won't get off their high horse and think that they're better than everyone being so fucking squeaky clean don't resort to profanity to communicate.

"Dumbing down of America??? Writers vocabulary has become limited to the f bomb? Shock and Awe?"

So the word "fuck" which has been around for centuries is only RIGHT NOW contributing to the dumbing down of my generation? What about Casino? Came out in the 1990s, used fuck 480 times. Oh, but because it came out in the 20th century, it's good? (which it is, I'm not denying that.) I don't think so.

"Lack of imagination, bad writing, and stupidity is the only reason the F-word is used so much. It is too easy to write crap for a movie than to write a worthwhile script. I hardly EVER use that word, especially in everyday speech. I would like to think I had more brains and class than that."

Hell.
To.
The.
No.

Fuck is a real word that has been used in real life for many years and used many times by many people. Just because the movie has a little touch of reality in it, it automatically becomes poorly-written garbage? That is complete and utter bullshit it's not even funny. Once again, it is NOT the 1950s anymore.

"Good reason not to go to that movie. What's wrong with this world."

A lot of other things are wrong with the world. Energy crisis, economy, national debt, deforestation, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Yoko Ono, global warming. but a movie that just so happens to say Fuck a lot? OMG A MOVIE SAID FUCK A BUNCH OF TIMES!!! THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION OH NO!!!
Get a damn life, please.


Now, realistically. These people have the right to not watch this movie at all. I am not in any way, forcing these people to watch it. It's just that I cannot stand the people that will go out of their way to complain and bitch about the fact that the movie says the word "fuck" a lot. I mean, it's just a word! Whenever ANYTHING breaks apart their little squeaky-clean 1950s Leave It To Beaver/The Rifleman/Andy Griffith Show-esque fantasy world, they just start screaming like a bunch of poncey hairdressers and yes, I DID quote This Is Spinal Tap. Guilty as charged.

The moral of this rant is, if you don't like something. Just don't associate yourself with it and move the hell on.

And for the most "fucks" in a 5 minute song, the award goes to......

There's always been shit movies, shit songs, shit entertainers, shit tv shows.

It may well seem the case that there are more of them now than in the past, but this perhaps has to do with the amount of movies, songs, entertainers and shows available today vs. the past. I'd be willing to bet the percentages are pretty much the same now vs. then.

While I suppose I can understand someone not wanting to see a movie where it's wall-to-wall swearing, someone being shocked by what was on display in The Wolf Of Wall Street (or whatever the exact title is) would have to have a certain level of ignorance about Scorcese's past film work to begin with in order to be at all surprised by the content.

I'd totally agree on the general misplaced sense of outrage people seem to display regarding things like pop culture as opposed to larger issues that actually matter. I mean, if Miley Cyrus twerking on tv is enough to send someone to a tizzy, they may want to brace themselves for when a life event of real relevance comes along to derail them.

There's a tendency to display a level of outrage online that's disproportionate to the amount of actual outrage on display in day-to-day reality. I couldn't tell you the amount of posts online I read about how stupid Bush was for getting us into Iraq, or, say, the failure of deregulation regarding the 2008 financial meltdown. Yet none of this translates into much in terms of actual effort and work being expended to change these things.

It's easy to piss-and-moan online. Far easier than actually doing something about it (whatever 'it' is).

I mean, if hearing the word 'fuck' a bunch of times in a movie theater is really the biggest gripe a person has, that's not really a person who has much of interest to communicate with.

That's called apathy. If everyone thought like that we'd be living in hell on earth.

Personally, I think the term "butt-hurt" and cute little ditties like this:

Hell.
To.

No

are actually the primary causes of the dumbing down of America.

That being said people who can't hold their tongue in public and lack the self-discipline to not cuss all the time look like low IQ dolts. Frankly when you have kids around you don't appreciate someone running their mouth like a garbage can. I would say society has lost a lot of respect and class. Just go out and look how sloppy people look and act. If you want to be a pig, be one in your own personal pig pen and leave that shit out of public so the rest of us don't have to deal with it.

I'd agree that people display lowered levels of respect for others and just a plain lack of common courtesy toward one another.

If I'm standing in line at the checkout counter in a supermarket, I wouldn't want to impede on the rights of the person in front of me to talk on a cell phone. Some would actually argue that people who talk on their cell phones in public have the same rights in terms of expectations of privacy as they used to when public phone booths were still around, specifically the ones without doors or enclosures. That it was the unspoken duty of the person waiting to use the phone to stand back a respectful distance, much in the same way as one would at an ATM. However, when I'm standing in line and the person in front of me is talking on a cell phone, don't I also have the expectation or right to not hear their conversation? I'm not interested in the lives of strangers, not even in the one side of their conversations I can hear about.

Don't I have a right NOT to hear about the person on line in front of me and their hygiene problems? Don't I have the right to not expect to have to look at obese people stuffing themselves into clothes clearly several sizes too small for them? And on the flip side, if a woman with rather large breasts and ample cleavage makes a choice to wear a revealing blouse, shouldn't she in turn expect me to look at her breasts and shouldn't I be afforded the expectation of being able to look at said breasts without her glaring at me?

It's such a shame people get so fucking hung up on certain words and expressions... but they never hear the full dialog... the story... the context with the flavor it's presented in. Language is a lot like cooking... it can be bland, safe, simple... or it can be bold, flavorful, dangerous... One has to savor the full pallet to get the full experience.

Great example... the HBO series Deadwood. To many it's just a cowboy/gold rush violent, cuss-a-thon... Now dig in a little deeper and understand the language of the day trending from English Elizabethan social casts blended with wild west, cut-throat reality... it's a masterpiece from a writing and language perspective...

What do the simpletons and hoople-heads see...

Total fucks in series: 2980
Cumulative series FPM (Fucks per minute) : 1.56

Total fucks in Season Three: 1050
Average fucks per episode: 87.5
Cumulative Season Three FPM: 1.73

Total fucks in Season Two: 1099
Average fucks per episode: 91.6
Cumulative Season Two FPM: 1.76

Total fucks in Season One: 831
Average fucks per episode: 69.3
Cumulative Season One FPM: 1.23

What do I see... a fucking literary gold mine of late 19th century language intermixed with educated literary expression with the cold hearted cut-throat life in undeveloped areas of the US breeding growth, culture, wealth, and all the dirty shit that goes into making it... To me it's a foul mouthed take and blending of civility and that dirty mouthed element that made the wild west wild and this country the ass kickers that made it all possible.

I call it social courtesy. If people just show a little more consideration for other people it makes the overall experience for everyone better. So hold the door open for people. Say "Thank You." Smile. If you see someone that needs some help, step in and help them. There's a time and place to run your mouth like a sailor but if a mom is shopping in a store next to you with young kids, that ain't the time.
