While I'm not a fan of excessive swearing I don't think it is anything new. There's a marked difference in books pre-2000ish and after. I guess in some ways I've just gotten used to seeing it. But I don't like the hero swearing a lot anymore than the heroine.

I could never get use to it and people never should let themselves become desensitize to such things. I agree hearing it is alot worse than reading but who wants to root for a potty mouth heroine. It's just a huge turn off and I totally agree a potty mouth hero is just as bad. If I had a daughter who talk like that well I wouldn't have a daughter who talk like that. It's just unacceptable. I haven't notice it until the last couple years but now it's like every book coming out lately.
