I also reported the slur bypass. I’m sure they’ll interpret it as “sensitive hexbears can’t handle reality!” or whatever, but they always do this shit, they deliberately break the rules and get a ban from that, not because we’re scared of the ideas of western hegemony and can’t handle them. I’ve never seen one of these guys actually get banned just for posting pro-west stuff (or claiming to be “both sides” while doing that), they always behave in a shitty way and break the rules.
I’m not even particularly sensitive to the word, being here in Britain. But clearly it’s a problem for others and it’s really easy to just respect that. Brits and Aus suffer from a chronic belief they have a special C-card and can say it as much as they like because it’s in the culture to say it. When they’re told not to they reactively rebel viewing it as their privilege or whatever.
Yeah, here in Aus, we basically use it like a punctuation mark. But as you said, it isn’t about whether they or you were fine with the word, it’s about them just refusing to respect others and thinking they are being cheeky or sly when they are being misogynistic, thinking they can “get away with it” because lots of people use the word.
Same over here although less as punctuation, pretty common though. I could talk for hours about the difference in misogyny though, there’s a distinct cultural difference in its use that stems from men calling themselves the word as a sort of honorific, “I’m a right nasty cword”. This is absolutely not something the americans would use it for, when they say it they explicitly mean WAHMEN whereas that usage around brit/aus was erased by its gangster slang usage. You can see it humourously in stuff [slur warning] like lock stock where it’s used self-descriptively by hard man types. I suspect going through that phase linguistically erased its usage as direct intentional misogyny in our culture.
Can you imagine someone like Tate calling themselves this word? No, absolutely not. Because to them it’s a different word entirely and this usage would make them uncomfortable. To self describe as the word they apply to weak inferior women? No. They simply wouldn’t do it. The linguistic phase we went through in Brit/Aus culture is what generated the difference of opinion here compared to the rest of the world on usage of it.
