Talk:Profanity
I recommend shortening the intro by quite a bit. Then removing the section "Background." Then add things to the intro that immediately tie "profanity" in with fandom/fanworks/fans. --MPH (talk) 23:32, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Agree, I also think fanon swears should be given more prominence. Maybe in the new intro - they're essentially fan created swear words that are fandom specific and the list of examples could be expanded more. Also here's a bunch of links from r/fanfiction with fic writers talking about their use of profanity in fanfic. I may have time to make changes to this page, but in case I don't I'll just leave these here xD --Auntags (talk) 11:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
