I still dont understand why the c-word, even in real life, is so taboo in the US.

We have no problem saying cock though, or calling a woman we dont like a bitch.

It's racist to assume that the rest of the world only means that when they use the word just because that's how America use it. In NZ / Australia, the word is basically a compliment.

Well yeah, its an insult. You shouldnt go around calling people cocks, pussies, dicks, t***s (wow cant use that on GFaqs either, its the one with the w), etc. But we accept those.

Dicks and cocks are acceptable but the c-word is banned. Gamefaqs is just another sexist, male-dominated video game website. Free the vagina!

This is misguided alan. If someone only uses it to mean that and only says it to women, that person is the problem, not the word itself. In most if not all of Europe as well as AU and NZ, it has completely different context and meaning, and I say that as an American. Claiming racism even if casually is not accurate, but if you wouldn't, as an American, tell a British person "you aren't allowed to call the thing I call 'chips' crisps, and the thing I call 'fries' chips because America has a monopoly on word definitions," then you shouldn't also be applying that sort of logic to the c word. I wouldn't call it racism, but it's a shitty and disingenuous thing to do at worst and an ignorant thing to do at best.

That being said, it is offensive enough to have the same auto-censor rules applied here as fuck or shit, and should be subject to those rules and that feature. Full on banning it is stupid.

The C word is offensive though.

Just like the British word for cigarette is offensive to homosexuals, even if it has no connection to homosexuality.

I edited my post. I didn't add or delete anything. I just bolded 3 words that were already in my post. Look for the bold, read the 3 words, come back and address that in contdxt of how you are arguing from a dofferent perspective than I am.

Then we can move on to the next portion of your argument with the comparison to the other word. I just will not even go there until I am satisfied that the part I bolded is acknowledged properly and you compare it to what I quoted in this post.

It's hardly vulgar here depending on usage. If you are buggering someone, then somewhat vulgar as describing anal sex. But when used as an exclamation, it's the mildest of mild and is it's most common usage.
