Why is this a thing? Even in today's age, why have there always been people who get eternally fucking butthurt about "bad language" and actively try to curb it? How is it that old biddies get so eglffortlessly blown the fuck out by words like "shit" "fuck" or "cocksucker"?

Who are these people and how do they even survive?
