It use to take talent to be able to write a comedy or drama without these as a crutch.
I think about Casablanca, Citzen Kane, all of the old greats without any of these.
A nationwide swearword jar. Yeah, that’s gonna work.

At one time We had The Hays Code. But aren’t we so much better off now that we can gratuitously curse and swear at will?
The Putin apologists and/or Big Government lovers will be along shortly to explain why putting Government in charge of what one says or hears is actually a positive thing.
Importantly, swearing is part of the “broken window theory” of social behavior. That is, if a building in a part of town has a broken window that is not promptly fixed, it creates the impression that the area is run down.
Swearing is the same way. It creates the impression that the people of an area are lower class. And when used in media, it “defines deviancy down”, and encourages repetition among its audience.
It will never hold for very long. I know I’m profiling, but most Russian or Ukrainian I’ve met tend to be one extreme or the other, either they are profoundly emotional and loquacious or they keep a tight lid on any overt expression, positive or negative. They are like a forced marriage of the Italians and the Swedes.

They also push this sort of thing on society -
The Dude might have to re-think those White Russians.
F You, Putin.
Go ahead and bill me for the fine, Vlad.
