I thought it was kinda clever the first time. Less so the 500th time, or even the 50th time.

They swear in the IDW Series and the new game, so why not?

Raph - "Man, I hate this hacking crap!"
Mike - "Woah, what the hell was that?"
Raph - "Need help here! Damn."

These were just random phrases I heard they say during battle or puzzle sections!

Was he literally referring to hacking a computer, or was "hacking" in lieu of, y'know, ****ing?

*MrTMNT2012* · 08-30-2013, 10:31 AM

Hacking a computer.

Given the PG-13 rating expected based upon the TF movies, I'd expect some mild swearing at times, especially by Raphael, Casey, or the villains. But I'd only want it during tense situations to keep it more civil. Most of the reason that the movie will be PG-13 instead of PG will be based upon the amount of violence however.

Those... those aren't swear words...

Even "damn" and "hell" haven't classified as "swears" since the 1950s. Unless you're 4. Nobody likes to hear their 4-year-old say "hell", but usually by the age of, say, 7, they've already graduated to saltier words than that.

what the-! those are too swear words! (except "crap"....)

If those aren't swear words then why don't the turtles say hell, damn and crap on TV? Why make em stupid with the overdone what the shell garbage.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-30-2013, 04:28 PM

As I implied, with "damn" and "hell" it's less a swear than "a word that doesn't sound right coming from or directed at a young child". There is a subtle but definite difference. "Prostitute" isn't a swear word, but it's also a word you'll never hear on a kids' show, just as an example. And most parents probably wouldn't want their kid saying it, or knowing what it meant. But it is not a swear word. "Hell", especially, is not a swear word, it's an allegorical place/alternate dimension, that we're not supposed to say the name of simply because we're supposed to be afraid to go there. That's why it was kind of a swear word among many people in more-religious times, same with "damn", as in "damning someone to Hell", but neither is really relevant as a "swear" or "curse" anymore. If you can say it on the radio or on network TV before 9pm, it's not a curse word.

As a person who drops at least seven F-bombs before noon, re-names most of my friends and acquaintances "Motherf*****", and could use (or invent) twenty different ways to say "f*ck" while describing a litter of newborn puppies, I take great pride in knowing my profanity.

Tuxedo Moroboshi · 08-30-2013, 04:39 PM

I think you're taking things a little to the extreme, Leo. A very "all or nothing" way of viewing things. "Hell" and "damn" are indeed swear words, but they're mild swear words. Swearing comes in different degrees of severity, and they just happen to be on the lower end of the spectrum. F*** and c*** come at the very top.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-30-2013, 04:54 PM

I don't know, man. This is the first time I've heard anyone sincerely defend "hell" and "damn" as being swear words in forever. Maybe once upon a time, but if you asked 100 people over age 18 in a poll if they counted as swears anymore, I'm betting a large majority would say "no". There IS a difference between full-blown swear words and "words I wouldn't want my 5-year-old to say."

I do live (proudly) in New Jersey, so that MAY be a factor in how I see it, but I'm more inclined to believe that common usage has simply robbed those words of their ability to shock and offend, which is sort of a prerequisite for a word to be considered a "curse".

Stingray69 · 08-31-2013, 12:50 AM

I really wouldnt care if they swore or not. Either way im fine with it.

Just my .2 on the hell and damn, I view them as swear words. Im 27 and still dont use them around my grandma and wouldnt of used them around my mom.
