Ehhh, no. There's varying levels of curse. It's like saying a slap is the same as a punch. >

Depends on how you are replacing them. Penn & Teller did a great episode of Bullshit on this topic. 
As for me, if you are going to try and hide it at least make it hard to know what you said. Things like sh*t just annoys me. >

I don't necessarily disagree, I just think it's pretty funny that you used "AF" as a replacement for saying "as fuck". >

I do that all the time…lmao! >

Oh I agree. Either learn not to swear/use the exclamations. Or just say the word. Replacing fuck with fetch is particularly bad. But My least favorite is people replacing asshole with butthole. Asshole makes me think of a rude person. Butthole makes me think of an anus. >

Ye but I cuss with my friends and I never swear around family or people from our church that know my parents >

Can’t get sent to hr or fired for saying fake curse words. >

I agree, but have to respond with a related unpopular opinion: people shouldn’t refer to naughty words as cuss words…they are curse words.  Calling them cuss words comes off like you are writing with a thick southern accent. >

A grown ass man or woman can swear for emphasis and strategically to great effect. 
Over-using it is crass and low effort though. >

Well, I’m definitely guilty of overusing it especially online. I think it’s because it feels like freedom for the first time in my life in terms of not restricting what I say. I have learned that context is everything. >

Resist the urge to be the college freshman (or high school freshman) with a potty mouth. 
He/she who never swears but drops an F bomb will captivate any room when doing so when the word is necessary. >

I worked for a Monsignor who pointed out that OMG and oh my goodness is taking the lord's name in vane. Because God understands technicalities.
Edit*** I also used fother mucker through most of high school and got teachers to start... Then stop because I didn't actually say anything. >

Not the case around kids. Anyone whose ever met a toddler knows they will repeat what you say without an ounce of understanding of the meaning. If you don't want the three year old to say words at daycare that might upset people, you use replacement words so when they copy you it's cute instead of a problem. >

That’s a good point I forgot about. >

All words are made up >

Not unpopular at all I think. Completely agree >

Like it makes sense for youtubers to do it, cuz you know money.
Idk if people do it often when they arent being recorded >

the intention is there either way
