It's been our long-standing practice to try to keep mainline
generally unobjectionable in ways that don't compromise the
fundamental nature of Wesnoth.
In other words we don't attempt to make people happy who dislike
*all* depictions of violence, but we do try to keep *unnecessary* things
out of mainline that could turn people away from Wesnoth.
We have a looser standard for campaigns on the add-on server, and if
SotBE needs to be mildly obscene, it should be returned there.

It was quite deliberate. When I reworked the SotBE prose, I spent
some time thinking up Orcish epithets for the other speaking peoples.
Human-worms, stinky-midgets, tree-shaggers -- they're *supposed* to
sound rude and obscene; that's the *point*!
If "Austin Powers: The Spy who Shagged Me" could be marketed as
PG-13 (and it was) then I think we're on pretty safe ground as regards
actual obscenity.
