    Mate, don’t use that word. That’s really obnoxious. I thought we were better than that.

      This thread is fucking wild. Avalance of downvotes because the dude uses some asterisks, which is apparently the worst thing anyone has ever done, and then a rebuke for using the wrong word.

      I mean, fuck that word, but also maybe pick a lane.

        You don’t know the difference between a slur and a curse word? Most people learn the difference by around age 6.

        That’s not the line though. Some words are not used for a reason, everyone understands it. It’s not some magical incomprehensible mystery, it’s a basic human decency.

        I know I’m probably seen as an asshole, but it’s so easy to trigger people when you don’t actually give a fuck. All I did was basically ma*splain why the poster above used asterisks. Sometimes the word we want to use feels perfect even tho it makes us uncomfortable
