      Are you lost? This article has nothing to do with politics, name changes, nazis, or 2015…

          Good on you and props to your parents :)

          I just wanted to chime in that “nazi” isn’t technically a swear.

          Sure, calling someone one when they aren’t (some willingly people wear the name with pride) can be hurtful, but in the context you’ve used it I’d say it’s OK.

          Just my opinion though

          I agree with that sentiment but how does replacing a particular swear word with “frick” somehow make it better?

          Unless you’re specifically directing it toward someone who’s sensitive to it, swearing generally doesn’t harm anyone or make them sad. Whether it’s a good, or bad thing, that swearing has been normalised, the fact is that it has been, at least on the internet.

      This is precisely what the “much privacy, muh data” crowd was warning us us against. I try to avoid saying I’m queer online, because there’s a very real chance my government turns fascist and asks google/facebook/whatever for a list, and they haven’t given me a reason to think they wouldn’t give that list without thinking about it twice.
