Is there actually strong language

[Se7en]

Steam rated it for strong language. I remember playing this on Xbox and it wasn’t that bad but I could be wrong.

That depends on your definition of strong language. I don't think any of the words in the game are words that cannot be said on the radio.

Like f word wise.

Maybe less than a dozen lines.

Mostly "♥♥♥♥♥", "damn" and "bastard" are the strongest in the game.

EDIT: In terms of F-words... "FU-" is not in the game, been scrubbed. "FA-" was never in the game.

I'm pretty sure the usage of "whale piper" is what earns it the strong language rating.

I’ve never heard that before. What’s it mean?

Nobody knows for sure, it's a made up phrase, but people will be along to give their gross interpretation soon.

This is the developers official answer from Twitter, so it's likely just an in joke reference to someone they know.

What are you talking about? It's got an exact definition. I am surprised that you don't know.

I know what I think you believe the definition to be. But as far as I can tell, that was made up on either these forums, or reddit. It's certainly not a common or well known phrase. It doesn't even have an Urban Dictionary entry.

Getting “piped” is common slang for exactly what it sounds like (urban dictionary has a definition for it), so “whale piper” means that the person in question “pipes” whales… It’s not a mystery lol.

Yes, I know that is the consensus here. i just disagree. If you google Whale Piper, literally all of the results are either DRG or Bart Hoenders. It's not a phrase that exists outside of this game, at least not to the vast majority of the world.

I also don't think that definition fits the tone of the game at all. Literally none of the other voice lines are explicitly sexual in nature. You could make an argument for "you carry a load well Molly", but that's a double entendre at worst.

I can't even find any results for the word "piper" being used the way you are saying.

I just read the comments above now that I know even though it’s made up it’s still referencing something so

Hmm, no, It's not what I believe, it's what it is. I don't know how old people are here so I won't go into detail.

I think you’re just being willfully ignorant at this point, no offense. What else could it mean? The voice line is said when you get shot by a teammate, and it is used as an insult at the teammate who shot you.

“Piped” is slang for “f-ed”(I’m not going to link it, just type that plus “urban dictionary”), so piper means “f-er”, and thus “whale piper” means “whale f-er”. There is literally no other way to interpret it lol.
