Sure. It's not the coarse language that I object to — it's the lazy, juvenile humour. It's similar to penisJS[0] — a software analogue to children defacing the chairs in their school classrooms with drawings of genitalia.

I think it's a pretty bad look for the industry.

Not to say there shouldn't be humour — there should be more humour. Personally, my most popular software projects are purely comedic, and they're also a little more coarse than this.

To put it another way: I'd prefer the software humour to be a little more Sean Lock and a little less Beavis and Butt-Head.

I hear you. Thank you for sharing your thinking. All I will say is, from where I stand, it is all working as intended; the code and the phraseology :)
