The use of see you next Tuesday in tv shows

[doneandone]

So, just an observation really and wondered if anyone else has noticed the use of cunt in tv shows seems to have sky rocketed. Just watched Dept Q and now watching Mobland and it's pretty frequent. I think it was used in every episode of Dept Q and just noticed on the current episode of Mobland that it's been said a couple of times. Is the word seen as more mainstream now or is it being used for the shock factor? I haven't noticed it being used more day to day in real life but I work in an infant school so I guess I'm not going to 🤷‍♀️.

I loath that word, but it is becoming as common as other bad language.

Yes, it's a word I don't use. Just can't bring myself to say it, it's just surprised me today that's it's on tv so much.

It's not rare in usage these days.

But also, in only a few TV shows.

But with streaming services, there are far more TV shows being made, by multiple producers than in the past..

So if you watch a couple of those TV shows in close proximity, it seems like it's more common on TV.

And it may be, but that's likely because there are hundreds more programs available as TV via all the streaming services..

To be fair, MobLand is quite violent, the occasional c-bomb barely registers. I haven’t seen the other show you mention.

I grew up in Glasgow though where that word is used as punctuation, I forget some people find it shocking!

I wonder if a regulation has changed - it used to be that was rated the most severe kind of swearing which would rocket a programme up to the highest age rating whereas other language might appear at other age ratings.

I like the word cunt and use ii often. I manage a large team at work and it’s just common parlance for us. Maybe it’s just representative of it becoming less shocking. It’s just a word, after all

Yes I did wonder if that was the case too. Just seems so much more commonplace on tv now and wondered what was behind the change.

Exactly the same in my workplace too. I don’t find it at all offensive and use it liberally. Except when talking to my mum who really despises the words cunt and twat! Anything else goes with her!

Like I said, you're not talking about.UK TV channels.

You're talking about streaming services with Dept Q and Mobland.

You watch it on your TV but they're made by independent streaming services.

They're not on your TV unless you pay for them.

If they were on UK terrestrial channels you'd have a point but they're not.

It'd be the equivalent of complaining about words or scenes on VHS video back in the day

I can’t stand it. But then I can’t stand mindless swearing anyway. Unless it’s something that adds to the impact of the storyline or is part of a characters way of speaking it just seems to be jammed into things now to make things more trendy. I really hate it.

I never use it, I personally think it's a horrible word & I don't hear people use it in everyday life. I much prefer Twat (not literally)
