A lot of the discussion was at Talk:Main Page, with some more at the article talk page. Note, though, that almost all the people who seriously objected to it were IPs and users with very few edits. So, it seems to have gone over pretty well with our users, most of whom probably didn't care enough to comment one way or the other.
I suspect frequent editors of Wikipedia have long since become desensitized to obscene language, thanks to the constant stream of it that gets inserted into articles as vandalism, and written all over their user talk pages as revenge for reverting that vanadalism. I for one enjoy reading about history and etymology, and have read articles on obscene words and euphemism sequences with interest.
The featured article choices that really rile me are the pop culture trivia, like individual episodes from TV series.
But whatever offends you about a feature article choice, regular Wikipedians probably know that there's not much point trying to convince Raul654 of anything.
