I really hate it when I hate transgressive fiction. Someone says "fuck" a lot in a story and if you have the gall to criticize anything in it, be it the plot or the characterization or whatever, the fact of the matter is you REALLY just can't handle how they said "fuck."

I thought of writing this review with jillions of curses and disgusting references to sex and violence to stave off such criticisms, but ... nah, fuck it. I used to be a goofy 12-year-old writing South Park fanfiction and I remember always making a severe effort to curse a blue streak and make reference to sexual acts I did not actually understand fully. When I moved on, those words and actions now demystified, I told myself, "OK, you saw how far you could personally go with being vulgar. But being vulgar is mostly a gimmick and you won't get anywhere on that alone. So move on and use bad words at the level you personally feel comfortable." So I've gotten myself well set into using profanity when *I* feel it's needed and not trying too hard. (Thus my screenname.) I don't need to change that shit just to prove a point. :-P
