In Brazil, obscenities are often treated differently depending on context and social setting. While considered offensive in formal environments, some level of profanity is more tolerated in casual conversation and entertainment. Portuguese society tends to be slightly more reserved about public use of obscenities. In the USA, FCC regulations restrict obscenities on broadcast media, though cable and streaming platforms have fewer restrictions.
