I’m not defending the f-bomb, seemed pretty random and unnecessary, but I just don’t see the big deal. Kids are going to hear those words one way or another, can’t escape it. Who gives a fuck, as long as you teach them right.

It’s not just for her. It’s for me. It annoyed me because it added nothing. There was no point to it at all other than for shock value. I hate it when streamed shows add “mature” content for the sake of being “edgy”. It’s actually immature. It’s like a child doing things deliberately because their parents won’t find out.

I wouldn’t even call it edgy. The phrase that was used, unless I’m misremembering, was “that’s fucking awesome.” It was used in an incredibly pedestrian way. I don’t think maturity even plays into it, the truth is that’s just how many people talk.

I personally didn’t find it out of place because it seemed forced and “edgy”, I found it out of place because it’s Star Trek. Ultimately, as with most things on this show I don’t give a shit, and I think it’s silly to get worked up over a little word, but yeah it was kind of random to see on Star Trek. Maybe if this show was actually adult and serious in ways beyond just mere surface details, it would have worked better.
