Honestly, it depends on the circumstance. And even then, there are a lot of gradations.
For instance, I know some folks who complained about the language in The Martian. But honestly, if I were left for dead on Mars I'd be swearing up a storm, too.
But it's pretty easy to tell when language has been inserted just for its shock value. I tend to stop reading when that happens.
I guess I don't have as much of a problem with the language as I do with its use and misuse.
