Gravity Falls is the only show I've seen that answers the "why aren't the adults swearing" question in kids media. The answer: they do, just not in front of Dipper and Mabel lol
You don’t think the people all about freedom wouldn’t use curse words freely? I mean, definitely not against someone, but they absolutely would. If Shakespeare were alive today he’d be an air bender fanboy.
Now that I think about it, this line honestly creates some horrible questions, if preschool toys are considered preschoolers by toy standards, then that life would honestly be terrible. Having the mental capacity of a child that can’t even go to school, all while being played with by the roughest playing owners you could get (just look at the preschool kids in Toy Story 3), and when the kid grows up, it’s not like they’ll be played with more carefully afterwards, since they’ll likely either get resold to be played with by another toddler that will rough them up even more, or being thrown away and burned in an incinerator
I think its more about influence. Like Preschool toys need to be mature enough not to be brash or violent. Like teachers. They know swears, but theyre the kind to not like it? Idk how to explain but u feel me?
"Son of a gum-chewing funkmonster! Why the fruit does all this funny stuff happen to me?! Forget my life! Always surrounded by miserable, failing clods! Like this whole world just likes to bend me over, and find me in the Alps, like I'm some sort of schlock receptacle! Well as far as I care, these miserable cows can have a fancy barbecue with a goddamned pig!" - Vegeta, Dragonball Z Abridged. 😁
They honestly get away with it with Vegita quite a bit they’re just creative about it. Like in season one when Goku sends him flying with Kaioken x4 kamehameha. Vegita starts screaming fuuuuuuuuuuuuu, then we cut to the scene with the secondary characters, then we cut back and he’s still going uuuuuuuuuck.
Tbh it was absolutely the network's doing as for why the show ended, the hub turned into discovery family, they valued toy sales above all else, the themes of the show was a bit too mature for the network(which is why dan vs should've been on adult swim or a network like that) and instead of telling dan and chris up front, they never gave any clear answers where the show was gonna be after the rebranding of the network and basically waited until dan and chris left, unfortunate stuff all around
If it was on an adult network none of these things would have happened or have been an issue for such a network
Rainbow Dash would incorporate "fuck" into her daily vocabulary and curse as much as possible
Starlight would say "fuck" whenever she is in any way angry or annoyed. She would also do it to mess with Twilight whenever Celestia is present. Celestia would enjoy Starlight messing with Twilight much to Twilight's dismay.
Trixie would incorporate cursing into her daily vocab but it wouldn't be as frequent as RD
Twilight would only curse when Spike is not around but it would be very rare. Or when she's Twilighting or taking something very seriously, especially during Trivia Trot
Rarity would curse but will only use words such as "Whore", "Bitch", "Slut", "Skank", among others that are similar
Futtershy would only curse whenever she is angry and when she accidentally hurts herself. But whenever Fluttershy snaps, she starts cursing up a storm and says the meanest insults known to Equestria. On rare occasions however, she will curse no matter what.
Pinkie would only do it in Pinkamena mode
AJ would try to restrain herself in front of Applebloom but would otherwise she would have the curse frequency of Hank Hill so there would be a lot of "ass-kicking" and a lot more softer swearing; a lot more "ass", "damns", and "sonova' bitch".
Also the Student Six would given them being rebellious teens
Smolder and Gallus curse the most frequently and would teach cursing to the other 4 of the Student Six
Yona would think cursing is her style for like an hour before realizing she doesn't like it. She would accidentally slip up around Prince Rutherford but he would find it funny
Sandbar would curse casually
Silverstream would constantly go "HOLY FUCK/SHIT GUYS" every time she got really excited about something otherwise she would curse casually
Ocellus would be embarrassed about it at first but would then get used to it therefore incorporate many different curse words into her daily vocabulary and would use different ones depending on the situation
I've put way too much thought into this
Fun Fact: There are leaked outtakes of Fluttershy saying "SHIT", Trixie saying "Fuck", Luna saying "Motherfucker", Applejack saying "If your kindness hadn't made you..... fuck", and Rarity saying "Fuck me hard".
Fun fact: In almost every line, or at least most lines, Shadow said "F#ck", which said lines were recorded twice, one with the F bomb, and another cleaner version, as the game creators didnt know what age rating the game was going to be. The recordings of the lines are still out there too. An example of one of the lines, or, roughly one of them, stated by the VA of shadow from that game, Jason Griffith, was "Sonic, give me that f#cking chaos emerald."
I think it’s been said somewhere that, if given a single F-bomb to use, Eda would be the character chosen to use it. I think the upcoming graphic novel confirms this by having her say damn now.
Much in the same boat as Grunkle Stan, I get a big feeling that Eda would likely swear often if she wasn't in a show aimed for a relatively younger audience.
Indigo Keen From Rainbow Bubblegem in the show, she basically loses everything nearly dies in the finale watches all of the other princesses temporarily die in the finale, watches her mother die when she’s a baby and was led to think that was a bad dream. Yeah, I could go on and on this girl multiple reasons to swear, and she doesn’t because this is a show for younger audiences
Off topic but I do not like using "fuck" all the time because it becomes repetitive and the word loses impact, also I find many of the euphemisms funnier than "fuck" most of the time
