I did not post the beginning of the article as there are words while not spelled out, might not go over well here.
********************************

Are Christians okay with this?

Heaven isn’t. During exorcisms, one hears the same kind of language–from demons.
The Bible tells us without a doubt, profanity is comparable to malice and slander, should never be repeated, and contradicts blessing—a principal act of Christ’s followers.

Colossians 3:8 “But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth.”

The Catechism doesn’t explicitly list every vulgar word or swear term as a sin, but, following the Second Commandment, it majorly does condemn the misuse of God’s Name (which also means that of Jesus) and language that is disrespectful, abusive, or intended to scandalize others and encourages (2520) purity of heart and modesty in expression, which includes speech.

The Virgin Mary (whose very countenance is that of purity) has not given direct teachings on “profane” and vulgar language in the way Scripture or formal Church teachings might, but numerous Marian apparitions—especially approved or widely regarded ones—have strongly warned against impure, irreverent, or blasphemous speech. Here are notable instances and themes:

I agree with controlling our tongue, especially refrain from blasphemy. Jesus name is taken in vain so much it’s cringe worthy
Even when I mention it to Catholics that misuse His name, they look at me like “what did I say?” They are not even aware of it. It is so rampant that I really don’t know how to handle it sometimes
Maybe we should just quietly genuflect when we hear the name, and when people ask what we are doing, say it is at the name of Jesus that every knee shall bend, and every tongue confess that He is Lord
If they don’t ask then just say thanks be to God
Lord Jesus, I trust in you, and move on

The Lord says,
Mt 12:34 "You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."
So the question is - what fills the heart, when so much sewage spews forth from the mouths of so many. The answer is tragic, the reality is horrific, the solution is paid - the Holy Cross! - but this is only neglected or rejected or hated by this modern, "advanced" civilization. It is heart-breaking.
