Anyone else cringe at this kind of swearing-filled stuff. I'm all for people expressing themselves however they like but I just personally cringe at it for some reason. I have no problem with swearing but I think it reminds me of when I was 8 and everyone at school used as many swear words as possible because they thought it made them sound cool. I really mean no insult to the people writing this stuff though

+1 I've experienced this at conferences, too, where fellow Germans in their English talks excessively use words like shit, fuck or bullshit. Maybe it's also due to exposure to English/American culture through media where everyone talks like this in movies and songs.

Yes, it’s silly. It’s verbal hyperinflation. Cheap signalling. Similar to the overuse of exclamation points.
