There was a Tumblr post about how Hermoine was a bad ally because she kept trying to release elves who didn't want to be released. Or something along those lines.
The term "bitch" ought to be considered more offensive than "fuck" or "shit", because -- or at least in the cases where -- it is used with sexist/misogynistic implications.
Actually, it is more offensive in many places.
So, as far as I understand the deep history of english-language swears, from my extensive knowledge of all things obscene, back in the Medieval Era, religious swears like g's and h's and d's were the really bad ones; because the christian english-speakers of the Medieval Era believed in Christianity kinda like that one C.S. Lewis metaphor about the sun. But basically, they feared spiritual trouble a lot, so religious swears were the worst.
In the so-called Victorian Era (named after a the world's largest-scale drug dealer), English-speakers were terrified of the human body and bodily functions. All prudish and stuff. So religious swears weren't as bad, but crude body swears like s, a, f, and stuff were the worst.
And in the right-now era, English-speakers don't want to be racist or bigoted or stuff like that; which is why c, n, b, and those ones are the ones that people will be shocked by. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is Tv PG and uses religious swears all over the place and the commenters on, say, Mark Watches don't even notice. But there is one usage of b, and the commentators are really kinda "yeahhh, that's not an okay thing to say; even to a villainess who just killed off the guy you love and is trying to kill you".
(anyways, do NOT go to Markwatches. Place is full of viruses and stuff.)
incidentally, "bitch" and "ass" are not censored on Law & Order, but "fuck" and "shit" are.
though this is probably a reflection of existing rules and thus institutional inertia.
my sister in law triedto post one of those huffington post clickbait list articles on facebook but instead of linking just copied the entire thing into her status, including like, every bit of text on the website

In an episode of the 2003 series, like, there was this one villain who used it almost casually

Not necessarily a bad argument
She struck me as being like one of those people who really cares about an issue and is entirely justified in their anger about it and about the way people look at the system, but hasn't reached the level of emotional maturity to appreciate that the feelings of those who are taken advantage of by the system might be more complicated than "oh woe is me." You see this a lot in how some teenagers approach social justice, particularly ones from a relatively sheltered background.
Incidentally, Danaerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones is an even better example of that unwittingly condescending attitude, although she has other strengths and failings...

That's what I was getting at, yeah. It mostly went over my head when I read the books as a kid, but in retrospect it reminds me strongly of teens on Tumblr who are well-intentioned but clueless about social justice causes.

It seems weirdly prescient until you realise that there have always been people like that in great numbers, but it's been a while since they really had a cultural presence.

Tumblr is just the reincarnation of LiveJournal anyway, so...

That is, actually, probably a better summary of the post I mentioned than the one I gave.

Pfft. Fast Eddie's the ideal ruler compared to some of the mods I've seen
Fast Eddie never ran a forum that had like, five different shitposting forums, each of which was immune to the rules and allowed to conduct rule-free raids on threads they didn't like.

I ascribe most of Eddie's poor administration to incompetence rather than malice
Though I suppose the whole "pretending to be three people" thing would go against that
