Not complaining, just can't see the problem in _some_ words.
Which, and why?
For example, the "shit" word, considering it doesn't seem all too offensive to me and seems kind of like common usage nowadays, but I guess people in 13th century wouldn't have said it, true that. But do we really know how the people back then spoke even?

EDIT: I agree that "shit" is kind of slangish, but do we really want to force everyone to talk the old English here?

Some words add RP value to the characterization of specific IG personalities. I expect Johnny to drop some f-bombs and related Medieval terminology because it fits his RP. Robbers and the like I believe are capable of getting away with the use so long as the use is appropriate. Trash talking IG is part of the game imo, but there should be a level of maturity that goes on with it's use.

To be honest I agree with the OP. I like the word they use curse words in Rome for example, but we won't ever see it done well here.

Slang is just out.

Shit didnt exist in medieval? Pussy was just "a hole"? :roll:

Cant say for sure, but i think atleast shit shouldnt be banned word. In my eyes it aint so slangish.

The main issue I see with these words is that people dont use them the way they would have been used which thus hurts roleplay. Maturity levels cause issues and getting mad and laziness thus it should just be taken away to try to improve the roleplay community. Want to say all these lovely cuss words go to an no rp pk shard and have your fill of random fuck,shit,damn,bitch,etc....
