Is there actually an inversion where ass is considered more profane than fuck by some people?
An attempt at comedy, maybe?

Ass is actually a proper English word, so in the proper context, it is more acceptable.

The f-word is by far the most universally known curse word. It is fun to see ‘F—- (insert name of place here)’ spray painted as graffiti in non-English speaking countries.
