I’m saying I wish they didn’t choose to just because they can.

Yeah, that’s not how it works.

In an interview about Star Trek Discovery, the writers basically said it was. The show got a lot of flak for using “fuck” twice in the same episode, and the writers said it was freeing to not have censors saying they couldn’t do that.

Star Trek: Discovery might honestly be the only example I can think of of a show clearly just adding swears and nudity “because it can.” Usually, even if it is the case, you can’t really know, and therefore it’s not fair to assume intentions. (and that’s hardly the biggest issue with Discovery)
