PG-13 didn't exist in 1981. It went straight from PG to R. So less loosening of restrictions, and more adding gradation.
And in 1981 PG movies had tits.
Airplane (1980) was PG.
Today's 13 year olds say that word more times than that before breakfast.
Which is, of course, a bad thing that ought not to be encouraged and that ubiquity does, in fact, encourage and normalize.
Yea. Nobody needs to be talking that much before breakfast.
So fucking what? Nothing wrong with that. Lighten up, francis.

I'm not actually willing to take that as read. It's just the word "fuck". You may personally find it distasteful and you're welcome to discourage your children from using it but it seems like you're committing Pargin's Blunder here (mistaking norms specific to your social group for universal truths).
