Line 11 ⟶ 12:
Some writers think the media is [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|oversanitized]] and does not reflect how people speak in [[Real Life]], particularly how they swear. Heavy usage of swearing is seen to be more realistic or [[Darker and Edgier|'gritty']]. This sentiment is stronger in certain settings, such as urban life, gangs, online gaming, and the military, etc. There is some truth to this, as there is more swearing in real life than any prime time TV show would lead you to believe.
On the other hand, writers can go overboard on swearwords to the point you can't take the characters spouting them seriously. This is particularly noticeable in works that try too hard to be [[Darker and Edgier]] but come across as [[Rated "M" for Money|childish]] instead. When there's already gratuitous [[Gorn]] and [[Coitus Ensues|sex]] all over, using [[Obligatory Swearing]] to make the characters talk like 10-year-olds out of adult earshot seems par for the course. Another possible backfire is when it's used in [[Historical Fiction]], if "[[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]" really ''was'' the height of profanity [[Anachronism Stew|back then.]] This could be a [[Cultural Translation|liberty taken by modern writers]] to drive home the fact that a character is fucking foul-mouthed, but it messes up the immersion if the viewers [[Viewers are Morons|know better]]. And then there are the works that sprinkle in a few extra expletives just to [[Avoid the Dreaded G Rating|Avoid the Fucking 'G' Rating]] and its unfortunate association with largely Disnified preschool-level pablum.
Often, this is used as a [[Comedy Trope]], where a character's usage of a long string of curse words is the joke itself. This often occurs in dark comedies. When movies or shows re-air in syndication, where they often cannot use the amount or severity of swears as they did on their original airing, the curses are [[Unusual Euphemism|often redubbed]] or [[Sound Effect Bleep|bleeped out]], to sometimes amusing results, like [[The Big Lebowski|"Do you see what happens when you ''' find''' a stranger in '''the Alps'''?]]
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
Due to the nature of this trope, the following examples will most likely contain fucking swearing. Don't be a fucking [[Bluenose Bowdlerizer|Bluenose]], [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]].
