Frakking Hell!

[donnaimmaculata]

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"

That used to drive me nuts. 'God' is just a euphemism, anyway! (Since they can't say YWH or Yahweh or Jehovah), so that whole g-d thing just showed such massive ignorance.

The weird Chinese (badly pronounced) swearing on Firefly was just as annoying as the Frak business, specially since, other than one 'coolie' stereotype, there were no Chinese people.

God is such a weird example, because it refers to all kinds of gods, including the pagan gods. Do they get censored, too?

I'm not sure what happens in languages other than English. German never uses G_tt. In some historical/religious texts, they spell it GOtt, because German capitalises all nouns, and god is speshul and deserves double capitalisation.
