As I understand it, Kurt Vonnegut's SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE was banned everyfuckingwhere because of a WWII scene in which soldiers are being shelled, and jump into a ditch while the unit chaplain stays frozen with fear in the road. A soldier yells, "Get the fuck out of the road, Father!" (And, naturally, Conservative Christian heads exploded.) A review of the book in the New York Times called it an example of "unmatched moral clarity"and "one of the most enduring anti-war novels of all time." It was on TIME magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923.
Yes, people say "fuck" to stress a point. (Perhaps ESPECIALLY soldiers under fire.)
I once quietly told a co-worker who was screaming at me to "shut the fuck up," This was NOT unusual shop-talk, but I was reported to HR, and I was to be fired. After TWO YEARS of arbitration, the company's settlement with me bought the house I still live in 25 years later. Best (fucking) words I ever said. :)

You see, I TOLD you it was probably the most versatile word in the English language. 😆😆😆😆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It is only cancel culture when it is a racist or neo-fascist who is deplatformed.
Ah. So otherwise it’s just “fuck you” culture?? 😆
Freedom from the oppression of people telling the truth.
