Honestly... it's a matter of RP characterization.
If people are using profanity just to use it, it's a bit like listening to a band using the language just to use it. Â It sounds forced and pathetic. Â I've used strings of profanity at times on other characters, but it's meant to show characterization. Â A lack of education and proper etiquette. Â It doesn't work if you're otherwise eloquent because it sounds forced:
"Margerie and I papproached to the porte cochere, though we found it impossible to properly drive the coach below the fucking thing..."
Doesn't really work. Â MY WoW main, Zumoktaga, sounds like he has an extremely loose education and that he lacks a degree of social grace:
"Pulled th'damn coach up! Â Y'ain't fittin' th'fuckin' thing under that'n, not 'less y'wanna give't a fuckin' haircut!"
However, can become a great point of punctuation if a normally proper character lets slip the hound of fucks during a tense moment. Â Just make sure it comes off as a snap instead of your character suddenly going from Maggie Smith to Lil Wayne.
In the end, it's nothing to really be offended over if it's truly part of a character's characterization. Â If he calls a woman a bitch and it's offensive, take it as their character being offensive to your character. Â Some decent people are playing repugnant characters, so don't figure they're all just trolling before you know.
