Prohibiting specific words from speech manipulates language and reduces its nuance.

But like at a certain point in time, like, I don't want to perpetuate this really stupid idea that different sounds that you make with your mouth are uniquely offensive. It's what you're saying. It's supposed to be a sound that I make so you know what I'm thinking. And if you have words that you could substitute for these thoughts that are completely, if you have a thought that is only expressed through fuck you, like we know what fuck you means. And everybody says fuck you. For you to say that you can't say that anymore, you're manipulating language to make it have less nuance. That's never good.
