I know my cousins that play CoD are certainly no angels, and as noted in the article, curse like sailors or marines or whatever branch of the armed forces you'd care to reference, while playing, sparing no corner of the profanity box, be it religious, familiar, racial, sexual orientation - whatever combination of words they happen to dream up into a suitably worthy epithet to hurl at someone.

It honestly is really off-putting to me personally, not just for me as their cousin because it makes me disappointed that not only would they play games where people do that, but they do that as a matter of course, but that that is just how that part of society works. It's just so primitive and ugly - on the other hand, it no doubt vents a ton of frustration for a lot of people, so I'm also curious as to if any effect is had on crimes and such, in a few years if studies are done.
