Matt Tullis's students at a mid-sized liberal arts university with religious roots got their eyes opened when Esquire's Mike Sager — one of 14 writers who talked to their class — dropped a few f-bombs, but Tullis writes that it's all good: "I wanted my students to feel uncomfortable, because that’s what good narrative journalism does to you. It takes you to a place you haven’t been and wouldn’t necessarily go, and it does that for the reporter as well as the reader."
