[quote=@Etcetera] You've used it once before. But because characters are reflections of yourself, does using a character to portray a thought truly abstract you from the thought and language itself? Almost none of us swear. [/quote] I'm not sure about you, but the time when every one of my characters was a different part of me is in the past. Lately, I've been trying to write outside the box. Expand my abilities so that I can play characters I couldn't before. Ones that aren't somehow connected to my personality or thought. So, I feel that an absolutely moral-less character using such soft language is a bit unrealistic. And I don't remeber when I did, but if I did, I was pribably having a similar internal debate to the one I'm having now.
