This is more or less how I feel about it. I read more fantasy, so seeing a lot of swearing doesn't seem to fit (in my opinion, at least). The one exception I can think of is when an author makes up a set of swear words based around the culture and setting of the fantasy world they've created. I don't mind seeing bad language in books, but in certain settings/situations it doesn't feel right to me.
