Like Pinkgirl said, underaged users can come on chat, even if wikia is for 13+, doesn't mean kids will still come on. And like THP said, swear words can be easily censored.I don't really see a point for swears, but there should be a censor box imo, so that people can use swears equally. But besides, words can hurt people, you people act like swears do nothing.......but they do. (i'm guessing that you won't understand this logic either) I understand. I will say this: look at this and tell me which would hurt you more. The first one doesn't use any remotely rude or profane words (even minced oaths and words like "idiot" or "moron"), while the second one uses profanity but is so well-known and general that it can be seen as laughable. Now I understand bettter. It doesn't matter if it's a swear word or not, it just matters if it hurts people. If someone said the first one to me, I would be very hurt, but if the said the second one, I wouldn't care all that much.
