    of all the things i hate on :reddit-logo: the dipshits who perpetuate this might be what i hate the most

    in 99% of contexts its just as offensive as anywhere else and if you say it anywhere near any sort of even vaguely left space youre gonna have a bad time

    i do enjoy the idea of american reddit dipshits turning up and loudly and proudly saying it to someone and instantly earning the hatred of everyone around them tho

      :reddit-logo: bazinga brains think they're so clever by claiming it's a universally friendly slang in their enlightened le Australia or Scotland or wherever else they want to LARP as native to, and that defense is after they use it to rage about Anita Sarkeesian or Amy Schumer or whoever, then they call you a c*nt for bringing it up. Mate. :so-true:

        It isn’t universally friendly, it is used both ways by anyone who says it, speaking for Australia. Anyone claiming otherwise is just bullshitting.

          exactly - it's entirely contextual and usually modified by the leading word (it's pretty clear that "dog c*nt" and "sick c*nt" mean different things)

          while there's a question as to whether a gendered slur should have became a catch-all swearword, the moron redditors who literally do not go outside (and usually are yankoids anyway, not australian) get pointlessly defensive of it whenever anyone suggests that you actually need to engage your brain and consider context before saying it

          That's exactly my point. :reddit-logo: 's general population tends to cling to one cool foreign culture at a time, idolize it, LARP as it, then move on like locusts.
