        Yeah, no. The broad American public wouldn’t like that. Right or wrong, lots of people hate that word even when directed at someone who is being one.

        Some people get weirdly super pissed when you use that word. I have no idea why. I have seen multiple people freak the fuck out randomly whenever it’s been mentioned out loud. They won’t care about other cursewords, only “cunt” specifically, it’s very strange.

          Here’s my read on it - looking up the definition of cunt, it’s “a woman’s genitals” so essentially you’re associating women’s genitalia with something negative, specifically an insult. It doesn’t necessarily make sense seeing as calling someone a dick is fine and isn’t seen as being so vulgar.

            Most profanity isn’t used in the sense of the literal definition at all though

          I’m not much of a troll these days, but I do enjoy when people will give my generally bad language on Masto a pass, but clutch their pearls when I call something or someone a cunt. Which I’m wont to do because I’m English.
