I'm not sure, but one difference is that cursing in the game is entertainment, and cursing on the forum is behavior toward other people. So at least in that case, it isn't a double standard.

Any time a video game says "shat" it's win.

I like the cursing, it makes the NPCs feel more characterized. I mean, I'm pretty sure that people cursed like sailors. Dialogue isn't all ponies and rainbows (THISISTHENEWFORUMPHRASE).

When cursing is totally avoided in games it just feels like you're being babied. As if that "bad word" might hurt your poor sensitive feelings.Quote:
