Seriously, what happened? Watch a movie or play a game from the 90s and early 00s and everyone talks like a normal human being. Hell, even the old action classics from Arnold and Stallone didn't have this (and if, then only minimal). I remember all the shit talk being very specific to gangster movies back then.

Now it feels like every other sentence is accentuated with "FUCKING" or some other curse word. Am I the only one bothered by this? It's a real problem in modern entertainment.

Streaming era, I'd say. They didn't have to play by the same content rules, I guess.

Yes. I am. I don't like it one bit. I give up in the middle of a movie or tv series if goes with this kind of dialogs. I've finished watching The Good Doctor and I say that it has one of the most superb dialogs in the recent years.

Normal human beings do swear when they talk.

They banned most Titties and Nudity from major releases so Now the only way for them to earn a R rating is to fill a film with Endless Cussing and Extreme Violence against the "right" targets.

I swear like a fuckin sailor and I expect my media to do the fuckin same.

I don't care mate. Rather have a talk with this lady than with a modern day Karen.
I think this is annoying and the way language is used blends into the culture.

And believe me, I know what I'm talking about. As a native Croatian I'm fully convinced that a big reason of why the former countries of Yugoslavia won't ever get anywhere is because of the language. I can't stand it being there any more and usually avoid saying I'm even from there because I know once I start talking in the native language I will be flooded with curse words.

TV shows cannot have edgy humour for fear of being called *ist so they have to compensate by swearing relentlessly.

Bad example. That bitch would cut you to the bone.

Have you watched Deadwood, which ran in the early - mid 00's?

I never said that older entertainment didn't have this. But it was rather unusual and mostly used when the series/movie is set in a specific milieu, eg. the "hood" movies of the early 00s. Now it's literally everywhere.
