Wow this offends me way more than the swear.
Why is an aversion to swearing laughable?

I think you may have misconstrued the original sentence.

Here's a sequence:

1 A mild aversion to swearing.
2 A moderate aversion to swearing.
3 A severe aversion to swearing.
4 ...
...
13 A laughable aversion to swearing.

In other words, an aversion to swearing isn't laughable /until/ it's taken to ridiculous extremes. People do draw the line about what's acceptable and what's not at different points, and indeed about what's ridiculous and what's not. But if you're many steps closer to an extreme end of the scale than a normal person, (whether you're at +13 or -13 (like the South Park episode already mentioned), you're going to find yourselves at odds with those who have less extreme views.
