Look, just because it contains elements of sex, extreme violence, and adult humor (and I use that term lightly) doesn't mean it's a "mature" game.

Actually, that's the definition of Mature in terms of ESRB. And most parents would find this mature as well.

modern cuss words ruin a medieval fantasy RPG for me? Yes.

Almost every curse word in the modern english language came from old english long before the medieval era. For instance, the F word (I say this so you know what I'm talking about without the censoring on this website, not because I fear the usage of the word) is a simple acronym. The S word is a derivative of shat, Ass is just a common word for donkey, the B word was for female dogs, bastard is a child of divorced parents, damn and hell came from translated bibles, and so on.

But when a game tries to use humor to be "tough" and "edgy" it really just comes off as pathetic and annoying.

It's not using humor to appear tough. It's using humor at one point and being serious the next. I can easily have a conversation with someone, joking around and then they say something completely offensive and go from laughing to pissed off. So why is it pathetic for someone else to do it in a game.
You see cursing and sexually explicit content as them trying too hard when it's actually them not trying to fluff the game up for a younger audience. They're just saying what they want, you really think Geralt would sound appropriate if he said "Just get your gosh darn rear-end out of here" or something like that? No, even in medieval times someone would laugh at language like that. And if you don't believe me on this, pick up a Shakespeare compilation and read through it.
