Can I swear in Stories and Biographies?

[Occam Razor]

Yes, it does take away.

Btw, I missed this while posting, but your argument simply ain't good enough.

Because that is not an argument, that is an opinion. I doubt it is even possible to discuss this topic rationally, in the end it comes down to whether the majority prefers to have the swear filter or not.

Personally, I'm in favor of getting rid of it. Swearing sure can be an important part of many roles that can be played in this game, and taking a lot of words away, or to at least censor them, seems unnecessary to me. And any distraction from the actual game, like having to consider which words need to be censored/replaced and which don't, should not exist, in my opinion.

I was also unaware that it is okay now to simply replace characters in a swear word to circumvent the filter, good to know.
