As scientist I care only about 3 concepts: Positivism, critical rationalism and Occams Razor

simplified definitions:
positivism = You care only about things that can be veryfied by experiment (at least in principle). This was meant to exclude all transcendent or supernatural things.

critical rationalism = You can never be 100% sure that something is true, but you can be 100% sure that it is false if you have falsified it. Ignore everything that cannot be falsified in principle. Even if there is an objective truth an even if you find it, you can never know that if you have found it or if you found something else that gives the right results accidentally.

Occams Razor = When you have several possible explanations, take the one that require the fewest assumptions.

summary: Consider only things that can be falsified in princeple. If it is falsified, you have at least the knowledge that it is false. If you find something that can be falsified, but an experiment confirmed it, than you can consider it (well, if not true then at least useful), until you find further evidence that either confirms it again or falsifies it.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS AN OPINION.

Back to topic:
In this game you kill lots of (humanoid) enemies, lots of blood flows and people get tortured (the divine order is not very nice). I think a few words are harmless compared to this.

I do not understand this (american?) point of view: You can kill huge amounts of people and swim in lakes of blood and gore. This is absolutely OK. But if you use a few bad words (fuck, shit, tits, yeah I said it) or see a bit of naked skin it is the end of the world.
