I've found a lot of people on ResetEra a progressive bunch. Like many progressives, I refrain from using slanderous words that have hateful meaning toward people of certain colors or sexual orientation.
That being said, I'm only human, and games can be infuriating if you feel like you've been cheated and have let a slur slip up on more than one occasion (Always in private and never over mic or in front of people), usually to allow some of that frustration vent.
I'm only asking about words that are more deplorable than "fuck". You all know the words. Do you ever find yourself just yelling out a specific slander word that you would never say outside your house or in front of others? Or do you find yourself well regulated or bottle it up?
What are you saying the nword when you get killed or something?
Culture. And it will vary from countries, regions and even neighborhoods.OP, I'd say resorting to slurs such as those you imply goes beyond being "only human". If you find yourself using racial or homophobic slurs I would try and consider why they're in your mental vocabulary in the first place. The fact that these words are uttered in private doesn't make it any better IMO.
Near enough everyone swears, and there's a litany of words you can go to that work exceptionally well in alleviating stress and don't deride entire groups of people.

Sounds like you're talking about racist epithets, not profanity.
I think the worst one I still use is "cocksucker" but I'm not sure that has sexual orientation bias or not. I never felt comfortable using cunt though, hash to harsh of a sound and doesn't feel good to use personally, but that might be cause I'm American.
I used to say "I've been gyped" from time to time until the wife pointed out I was offending her heritage. Don't do it anymore obviously.
