But hypersensitive extremists who are ready to accuse anyone not in lockstep of bigotry are very much a thing. Tbh just playing FFXIV where there's any concept of beauty whatsoever while not condemning all fanservice would be enough to get us blanket accused of misogyny, body shaming, and objectification in some circles.
I want to assure you, as someone who runs in 'SJW' circles, people who go around screeching about the most minor things being bigotry are a vocal minority. While there's certainly issues of misogyny and whatnot in video games (especially fantasy-themed ones), we don't spend our entire time complaining about it and yelling at people in-game who disagree. The 'SJWs' people oft complain about are a strawman that is extremely rare and/or just someone who hates SJWs and pretends to be a caricature of one to stir up hatred towards them.

But like others have said, OP, cursing isn't the only form of offensive language there is. I can't really go into examples, but they usually relate to -- for lack of a better term -- protected groups, so you need to be aware of what you're saying based on things like race, gender, sexuality, etc. because while you may think it's funny it could be extremely offensive, and not in the "wah I'm offended #triggered" way that people like to make it seem, but it can actually be extremely upsetting; usually because people encounter harassment or language of that kind irl, and really don't need to endure even more of it in a game that's supposed to be fun.
