Rules on Profanity in Music?

[maycontainthunder]

Firstly I must say that I am not questioning the rules on profanity. The issue is some of the tracks I listen to do contain profanity so obviously I can't embed them like normal because that would deservedly fall foul of the rules.

If I were to just post the artist and song title along with a trigger warning would this be allowed?

Good question. I've never thought about this when I post.

No, posting a Trigger Warning would not be sufficient.

That would be in effect saying "Hey the content of this video
violates the language policy, but I figure that'll be OK because,
after all, I'm acknowledging the *bad words.*"

Thanks @tree, I suspected that it could still be an issue hence the question. I'd rather ask than cause upset, I know some are triggered by this.

I have zero desire to be the cause of distress to another member.

I take it the artist did not make a track without explicit language? Some do give you the choice by offering one with, one without.

Some tracks only have one expletive in them and that is one too many. 99.99% of the time it adds nothing to the track. I've learnt to pay it no attention but... If I embed the clean version someone on here could find the unclean version and get triggered. I'll stick to the original being clean to start with!
