    I’m not a prude and I curse a lot. Her cursing was too much for me and actually soiled the product. It was just annoying after a while.

      To each their own. I tend to swear about the same amount so it never really hit me. I’ve definitely been asked to tone it down before lol

        I mean it just killed the art for me. It was obnoxious and overused. Like okay we get it, you say fuck every 2 words. So edgy.

      It was perfect and from the book. I’ve known a few women with mouths like that and they were some of the most honest and trustworthy people I’ve known.

          I kinda like that but in my experience no one is more vulgar in far to many social settings than someone who has plenty of money.

            Ironically, those “with” and/or “from” money tend to be distrusting of it, and project their internally ever-present fear of weakness outward onto the world.

            Every time they puff up and get loud, they’re just squashing their fears of being the inept, impotent, and unworthy cowards we already know them to be.

          Diplomat is kind of understating it though.

          Minor spoiler

          She is the scion of a political dynasty that is serving as “Under-Secretary-General” in the UN when we get to know her, so two steps away from the throne of Earth, having access to black ops and military assets, without ever having been elected.

          Also towards your earlier point, I always took her brash attitude as intentionally annoying. Like that’s the whole point of it, narratively. It’s a tool she uses to unsettle others. Which is why it fits so nicely in the OP.

            That’s pretty much on point according to the books. It’s her more natural speech to swear, but she does intentionally use swearing to unsettle her political opponents and try to glean some information from it.

      i damn well kind of fucking agree, not that the motherfucking cursing itself was fucking dogshit, it just fucking felt a fucking tad fucking forced.
