[quote=@Etcetera] You can write the lie someone says without lying, but you can't write the swear someone says without swearing. The way I have always seen it is through the fact that swearing doesn't seem intimidating or even intelligent. Villains can come up [/quote] I feel like this post was cut off. Anyways, the whole point about having a villain who doesn't care at all is to show that they don't care at all. For them to use "replacement words" makes them seem contradictory. Plus, from time to time, when the need arises, I'll quote people and actually say the curse they used in whatever they said, since quoting isn't using your own words.
