What does "moralistic" mean?
Someone who is overly concerned with conventional morals and will often kick up a fuss over nothing. Typically, the word is used to describe someone with a petty, mechanical and shallow sense of morality; characterized by dogma and conventionality rather than reason, with no regard for context or nuance.
Person A: Swearing is bad in any context and should be criminalized! Think of the children!
