    Most children are eventually educated on these words. Usually by 1st grade, if I remember right.

    What you’re thinking of is what parents think they want reality to be, not reality.

      You have a point. I did remember being told that the word “shit” was a curse word that I should always avoid. But that was in the 2000s, so that sentiment may have changed now (that was in the United States and now I’ve been living in Indonesia so I don’t know the evolution of languages there anymore). I know that the word “queer” used to be a slur as well. Let’s see if the word “bullshit” becomes normalized in society as the years go on
