Quite a lot of media we consume also needs to be swear-free

No it doesn't.

It's no coincidence "unalive" and "grape" have become a thing on TikTok and elsewhere

Fuck TikTok, and fuck any imbecile who uses those words unironically.

There's a surprising amount of censorship around us.

And it's our moral duty to fight it and to ridicule and oppose anyone who doesn't.

it's generally frowned upon to curse

No it's not.

Again, the theocratic kleptocracy of Magastan isn't an example of how the civilised world works.

Where I'm from, for instance, “I shit on God” is practically an interjection, like “fuck” in English (though the usage seems to be waning as the country becomes more secular), and calling each other “son — or daughter — of a whore” is considered a term of endearment.
