You could make the exact same argument over any word in any language. People have emotional responses to words and images based on their life experiences. Some are good, some are bad. Am I not going to use the word "staircase" in my presentation because someone in the audience might have fallen down one at some point in their life?

Give me a break.

so "fucking" and "staircase" are the same for you? If I've a female boss, I wouldn't drop F words or other sexual profanity words in front of her in work place unless I know she doesn't mind. And I can't just make assumptions for that. I'm just saying in some social environment and audience, people should think twice about dropping profanity words.
