Frakking Hell!

Does Archive of our Own cencor explicit language? Because I've just tried to read two fics and was thrown out of the story* by the repeated and highly inappropriate use of the word "frak". I feel dirty and violated.

*uh, "story"

I like it a lot in the show. It's a great solution to a military situation where they'd be cursing up a storm, but on network TV. But yep, elsewhere? Would look like that.

It might be my European upbringing, but I'm not bothered by cursing. I think our attitude is different than the American one; there isn't as much cursing on TV as in the US, but if there is, it doesn't get censored.

Yeah, it's pretty bad here. You'd never hear a 'fuck' on TV without there being weeks of fallout after it...
