Excessive Swearing and Foul Language by Riot?

Moved this from General Discussion so it's easier to see how many people agree / disagree with me.

Very recently I've noticed several members of Riot using foul language seemingly for no reason. It's pretty much out of the blue (never seen this happen before in the past few years) and although it's not used maliciously it is quite serious for Riot's staff to be using such language so openly in what is effectively a game for young people. I just want to say that I personally am not offended by bad language as long as it's not directed at anyone in particular, but I think Rioters should acknowledge that there are young children who play League and that excessive swearing for no apparent reason is not a good idea. As with any job, staff swearing in front of customers is very unprofessional and generally speaking shouldn't ever be done.

The specific examples that I'm referring to are:

There are a couple of other recent videos in which Rioters swear but the words are bleeped out.

I'm fully prepared for the downvotes I will probably get and the comments telling me to harden up or to stop being a baby lol. I'm not demanding that Riot staff stop swearing, it's just some feedback for Riot to ask themselves if this is the direction they want to go in. As I said, even though they don't make up a majority of the player base, you cannot deny that there are children playing who perhaps should not be made to listen to such vulgarities both in game and in official Riot posts and videos. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels as though speaking that way in front of customers is unprofessional and unnecessary. Just my 2 cents.

Fuck man (this is an expression xD)... Kled says "shit", "crap", etc.

I'm tired of censuring everything just because there are "kids" or "young people" playing games. .___. Go and censure Lion King because Mufasa die. Let it be.

PD: Bring Grave's cigar back !!! T__T

I wont discuss the part of the guys in the table. I don't watch the dynamic queue-thing and that video is too long to watch. If they are doing bad, well, their respectives managers will talk to the guys and tell them "Hey, soften your language..." (I don't want to mess with people's jobs, sorry).

"like it or not there are children in this community. " <--- I can see the reason why I had those afk in my last ranked... LOL. Jokes aside... xD

I would agree with you if this were a Disney movie. Generally, Disney movies are for kids. But this game is more "adultish" (not that adult, nor that "childish"). If that's the way of the champion, let him be that way. After all, we have some psychopaths running around the game. If you're starting to censure poor Kled's vocabulary, well, let's tell Evelyn to put more clothes, and MF, and the other league females with cleavage because that's not appropiate for "children".
