When did bad words become bad?

When did bad words become bad? meaning, when did the F word and the S word become so bad? and who decided they are so bad and had the authority or influence to make that seemingly unwritten rule. I mean it is against the law in the USA by the FCC if someone uses "foul language" I guess on public TV or Radio and basically in general, especially in religious settings and what I want to know is who and when was this decided, I researched the origins and came up with the S word stands for "Ship High In Transit" for boat that carried poop and they were an explosion hazard and the F word supposedly comes from the german word Frichen, so who made these crazy rules??

Since there is no link to start a new topic, and the forum doesn't explain how to start a new topic, can someone tell me how to start a new topic?

Bad words became bad when they started to be offending. As for posting new topics, you have to go to history.com feedback forum for answers.
