Show HN: See where in the world the F-bomb is being dropped

I think it is a little bit odd to create a page that shows every fuck-word it can find in the world, call it "fbomb", having an About page whereby one only talks about the "F word" and "F-Bombs" while trying very hard not to type the word fuck.

Seems a kinda hypocrite to me. "Look someone said fuck in <country> haha, but I don't use that word, nono, not the F-word." I really dislike the term f-word. Say fuck if you want, say nothing if you don't want.

But, yes, funny idea.

I don't see where the hypocrisy is in creating an application that maps the location of tweets with the "F-word" and then not writing the word "fuck" anywhere. It isn't the intention to advocate cursing. The goal of the application for me was to work in a new framework/language set on something that some people may find entertaining. Writing fuck on the about page or not doesn't really change the message, I didn't intentionally do either it just isn't the vernacular I use to write about my development work.
