I am sure that it is cultural, but cursing really gets to me. Over the last few years, I have learnt to curse, but I’ve never cursed /at/ someone except in roleplaying experiments with rougher characters. And if someone curses at me? That is game over. No more reasonable dialogue of good faith can be engaged in. I am walking away.
This is very interesting, and could be a useful demonstration in a discussion of healthy boundaries. May I ask how you express this discomfort? Do you tell people beforehand as a nod to your awareness of the different cultural values, or do you prefer not to associate with someone you’d have to tell that to?

I realize there is an argument for fighting back and changing cultures from within instead of leaving them to fester in an echo chamber but I’m not that person.
I would say that rather than fight a culture, a person should fight for their right to be respected within a culture, but that’s definitely a “do as I say, not as I do” situation.
