"This is so fucking cool"

Did this really need its own thread?

DSC also isn't the first trek production to have swear words.

They have, there are no taboo words in the 23rd Century. Fuck is just a word.

Then what does a 23rd century standup comic do with the "7 words you can't say..." bit? Maybe Klingon words?

Haven't seen Generations?

Mother-in-law jokes will be back in vogue by the mid 2260s, I expect.

Here you go, here is where this and violence have been discussed AT LENGTH. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/r-rated-content-what-does-it-add.291337/

Well it is kind of unrealistic...

In the future the swearwords, like everything else, will be communicated by gifs and emojis.

Here is question, do we still use the same swear words today as they did in the 18th century? I suspect not so because we consider something a swear word today doesn't mean it'll be considered one in 200 years time.

"Fuck" has been commonly used as a swear word since the mid-1800s, and it had been listed in a dictionary of vulgar terms dating back to the 1750s.

Lxwana Troi singlehandedly brought them back into vogue.

Yes, they've grown up enough that they realize that the word fuck is not a sign of the end times and the collapse of civilization.

In the 24th Century, to "Captain Archer" something is to fuck up so badly that you cause a genocide.

 

[ClintDagger]

It honestly didn’t bother me, but it did come off as forced. Almost like, “hey we can use the F-word. Where should we put it?”

I think stuff like that will be more organic in the future.

 

[ItIsGreen]

Oh frell, not this again.
