That's a straw men you're hitting here. The film has been named Fucking Amal
by its creator. That's a fact. Like it or not. 

It's not used in every sentence. It's used once in the title and once in the
first sentence. And it has to, since that's the name of the film.

Or do you want to change all places where a certain American President is
mentioned to G***** W. B*** just because some people might be offended
by reading his name? (Yes, this is a straw man, too)
