> What kind of harm do you think it does for kids to hear this speech?

I guess it depends on what you mean by "harm". Hearing it every once in a while, it is certainly unlikely to affect them. But if it's frequent enough (as seems to be the case in the gaming community), it will set a level of normalization that I don't want to instill in my kids.

That being said, this is my own personal opinion, and no one else should feel obligated to share it.

I taught my kids that swearing is contextual. In contexts where they are not supposed to swear, don't. And then I model that.

They've always known how to swear, but almost never do.
