And yet somehow I don't think "fuck" in a public commit message is that big of a deal. We weren't talking about swear words destroying your career, making you a social pariah, or getting you killed. We're talking about tightasses getting a bee in their bonnets about "bad" words.

I'm sorry, in what way is the word "fuck" creating a hostile environment? It depends on context. Compare this commit message:

"Get the fucking login button working"

"Fuck painbody, they don't know how to wire up a login button"

I write a lot of commit messages with "offensive" language, but it's not directed at anybody and it's just to blow off steam. How are stay-at-home parents supposed to feel welcome in this community? Release the death grip on their pearls and realize that people swear and that there's no way a "bad word", on its own, can hurt you. Unless someone is directing harsh language at you, you have no reason to be offended by the word "fuck". Good god, it's just a word.

Yes, thank you for explaining how taxation works. I thought about buying my own cone-handling machine for my libertarian utopia, but I decided to just pay a little money with everyone else to have modern amenities like road construction.
