Members greens_dupres Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 It seems like they're hearing you- TOLN & OLTL twitters are now linking a new SOD poll & asking fans to vote about the cursing. http://www.soapoperadigest.com/poll/1107819/results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 My favorites were Tea dropping F-bombs up, down and all around. The take of the fight with Victor a few weeks back with her screaming "what the !@#$%^&*] is going on!" and him grabbing her should've led to more crazy sex. Blair got off a good one but it was a little too sultry. Man, just make the Hulu cuts of the episodes the "raw" ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 Tea is a character where profanity makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 Girl, hit that Soap Opera Digest poll. It's evenly tied last I checked plus 20% abstaining, and I think TOLN is paying attention. I don't like that we get along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 This swearing off is stupid. There are lot more things to worry about than a word, like a gun in someone face. Don't watch cable if you don't want to hear a word. A word can't hurt you. The next thing you know there won't be any sex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted June 21, 2013 Members Share Posted June 21, 2013 I don't think cursing makes a show seem fresher or hotter unless it's a show about prison or mobsters. On a former daytime drama, I think it makes it appear as if it's trying too hard. I'm good with the amount of cursing allowed on actual Daytime TV (bitch, son of a bitch, slut, whore) and maybe an occasional "*hit" being thrown out. That said, it didn't seem necessary for them to officially announce this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RomeAt50 Posted June 21, 2013 Members Share Posted June 21, 2013 There aren't really many effective insults aimed at men on normal daytime tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted June 21, 2013 Members Share Posted June 21, 2013 There is the other "b" word...that said I don't think of whore and slut as swears/curses though many find them sexist. I use both to refer to men also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted June 21, 2013 Members Share Posted June 21, 2013 I was actually thinking that as I posted. Television has/Viewers have allowed a lot of the female-insult bad words to become the norm, but not so much the male-insult bad words (the f word, the mf word). That said, like bi, I actually do think of men as whores and sluts as well when the bill fits. I don't really think you can throw whore/slut around too much without it feeling really tacky and abusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RomeAt50 Posted June 21, 2013 Members Share Posted June 21, 2013 I do too. But on daytime the writers only think of women that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 21, 2013 Members Share Posted June 21, 2013 You know what, !@#$%^&*] it - I'm sending them an email about the profanity. Which one of the PP heads is the one who responds to viewer mail? Anyone got the email address? I encourage others to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
