that word is basically on another level vs all other 'bad words' here in the US. i really don't understand why.

Because in context in Australia and to an extent the UK it can also be a compliment with your boiz...er mates.
Not so much here, heck when my mom found out it was a compliment down under she was offended that people were using it in that sense. --- Is sticking your tongue on a 9-volt battery a masculine gesture?-Questionmarktarius ... Copied to Clipboard!

Love it in Aus tbh, I've been modded a few times in the past for using it on here as well lol. i got modded for censoring the word, minus the first letter one time. i said "wow, she's really being a <redacted>", talking about a woman in an article, not a user mind you. i contested the moderation on the grounds that i censored, and i'm allowed to censor "mother f***er". the mod denied me and said something along the lines of "even censored, that word has no place here". i just dropped it but like, seriously? give me a fucking break. --- Playing: Shadow of the Colossus (PS4), Owlboy (PC) (~);} - Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin' - {;(~) ...

Because it's used as an intensely misogynistic slur here and not how it's used in those other countries.
