Advertisers pulling because of swearing

I was wondering what baking had to do with swearing

Sweary bakers

....being able to.... nothing to do with baking.

I spend a fucking fortune on National Trust family membership. And their discount code on here never fucking worked anyway. I would cancel my subscription but the Victoria fucking sponge is too good..

Well I kind of agree with Green. We love mn enough to want to be here if it means we have to put up with the swearing.

And you can fuck right off with so off you pop Perfectly. How condescending.

And yes I am aware of the irony. Sometimes being baker I swear is useful.

Green you prefer the discussions that are allowed to happen on MN. Without being moderated. To change that would make it netmums.

So off you pop if you're that offended.

Personally I like being treated like an adult and being able to say what I actually mean.

I have National trust membership and regularly swear at their sites. I thought I'd finally found a demographic I fit into.

Ahh, this is where this morphs into the Great Annual "Why, oh why do some mnetters feel the need to swear?" Thread. Like the changing leaves and the appearance of cream eggs it happens every year.

Greenshadow, mere words are in no way equivalent to the personal and highly sensitive topics that attract trigger warnings. The odd f bomb may make some people cringe. A thread about the death of a child is likely to stir up some genuinely painful memories of a real life situation for some posters.

No. Other websites aren't the same as MN. I enjoy the discussions on here and have no desire to leave. I would just prefer a reduction in the childish swearing I see here.

If you don't like swearing, surely other websites are available

It seems odd to want MN to change to suit your particular preferences instead of just going to one of the many sites that already filter swearing.

I came on to find a thread on this after reading it in the paper today.

I'm afraid I'm in a minority here.

I don't swear (OK, very mildly very occasionally) and don't live, work or socialise with people who do. I don't particularly like seeing it on here. It feels very childish/school playground / as if posters are trying to appear tough.

I find it quite hypocritical that MN tolerates it when they have such strict guidelines on other things that may cause offence/upset (loads of 'Trigger' warnings in thread titles etc which might upset some but no worries about those upset by swearing).

I'm no prude (far from it) but would much prefer to see the site clean up its act a little and if companies pulling ads helps, personally I don't see it as a bad thing.

AIBU thread

I don't recall ever having seen adverts from any of those named brands

I've seen the NT trust ones for the Cadbury Easter Egg hunt

(the ones that got the Daily Mail and Theresa May all worked up)

I don't recall ever having seen adverts from any of those named brands

I bet even the Pope says the odd swear word.

Also if it's good enough for Corbyn, Cameron, Clinton etc fuck the NT.

I don't see why some posters have to constantly use swear words- it is not needed

Says who? If it's the word I'm thinking and feeling I'm going to use that word. I don't see any reason to self moderate because an adult can't have their eyes affronted by a bad word.

The National Trust are constantly recommended on MN, biting the sweary hand that feeds it.

Pretty poor show if they are advertising with the Daily Mail still though

Just out of interest does everyone see the Fairy ad at the bottom of their threads?

Why have the NT decided now that they don't want to associate with MN? Ive been here what feels like forever 10 years almost and it's always been sweary.

I can't help but find it ironic that the National Trust has pulled adverts from Mumsnet because of women swearing but continues to advertise in the Daily Mail

I don't see why some posters have to constantly use swear words- it is not needed

Effing and jeffing
I hate my kindle

I'm imagining the national trust staff living in fear of hordes of mners descending on them, acting and netting and scaring away the other customers

What I resent is advertisers laying down the law-"you be good girls and not be rude or we won't give you our pennies" MN is Sweary (boo sucks to those it offends) so if you don't like it off you trot.

Depends whether you resent it enough to pay to use MN.
