Great article, thank you for covering this topic! I love VidAngel and find it works well for reducing or eliminating bedroom scenes and violence. However, VidAngel sometimes makes speech breathy, halting and/or awkward sounding when the program is set to remove offensive language.

Comparing swearing now to the fifties is laughable, since that was a time for "purity" and such language was frowned upon (though done in real life). And that's my point - the addition of swearing makes movies and TV and books a bit more real. Like slang and accents and dialects, they should only be added like spices in a stew - carefully, not too much and not hardly at all, just enough to flavor the mix. But do I care? Hell, yes.
