Please, can we not use this word? Thanks. Please, can we not use this word? Thanks. I'm curious, why can't we use that word? Please, can we not use this word? Thanks. Sure, but why? I'm not an expert with english cursing, but isn't cunt same as dick? I'm curious, why can't we use that word? Because it's a gendered insult and it's disgusting. Sure, but why? I'm not an expert with english cursing, but isn't cunt same as dick? No. The C-word is purely derogatory. Dick is not. I'm curious, why can't we use that word? Sure, but why? I'm not an expert with english cursing, but isn't cunt same as dick? It's kind of an English language thing but, particularly in Canada and the United States, calling a woman that is considered WAY harsher than calling a guy a dick. Calling a guy a cunt is less so though. Because it's a gendered insult and it's disgusting. No. The C-word is purely derogatory. Dick is not. Yeah, not really a nice word, but we really shouldn't start restricting people's vocabulary here. We have more serious matters than to complain about than old curse words. But I understand your point. It's kind of an English thing but, particularly in Canada and the United States, it is considered WAY harsher than calling a guy a dick. It's probably the most offensive curse word there is. Yeah, not really a nice word, but we really shouldn't start restricting people's vocabulary here. We have more serious matters than to complain about old curse words. But I understand your point. You're both mods here, so who do we listen to lol? Well, Jack, since I'm an admin and a woman - who swears a lot, how about let's listen to me.
I've said it before. @fireandblood said it before. There is one word we don't use here and that is the C word. I don't care if you guys talk about dicks for hours, throw fucks around, I don't even care if people repeatedly troll appreciation threads even though it's just mean spirited and disrupts the board. What I do care however is people following the very few rules we have here. It's really just a handful and each time you do that and we have to step in and clarify things it hits me personally, not sure about the rest of staff, as just being disrespectful towards our work here on the board. I can't respond to posts like a regular member. No, I have to drop what I'm doing and state the same things again.
C word is fine when Al Swearengen yells in Deadwood or Malcolm Tucker or other British comedy God throws it around. It's art. And usually it's directed at a man. But when you use that word spitefully in, fine let's call it real life, and towards a woman...it's pretty much the most disrespectful and horrible word to use when it comes to a woman. This is not an awesome western or hilarious British humor - where as I understand the word is not seen as a strong offense, at least comparing to US or other English language countries - but it's the word me and @fireandblood strongly oppose to. Again, time and time again we said that. So @diablotion while we don't want to restrict people here I think that asking for minimum courtesy in 1. following the threads on topic 2. not trolling the appreciation threads 3. not using the single most vile swear word in English language when you can simply write "bitch" is not that much to ask for.

AdminI won't use word cunt here anymore. I agree that it is "disgusting" when you are calling someone by names. sorry for mentioning this again:But, I don't think that particular pic Nezzer posted in Brienne thread is that disgusting. It says "Kick in the cunt." Cunt is a vulgar version of the word vagina, no? Why is that different than saying "kick in the bollocks"? But anyway, I won't use that word anymore here.

I'm sure you guys are having a fervent PM conversation now but Nezzer has a history of making rape innuendos. He posted a gif of a woman being violently kicked in her private parts with that word slapped on as some sort of triumphal war call and with that action he 1. disregarded 'no trolling appreciation threads' rule 2. no use of "C" word rule 3. and again "just a tinsy bit of respect for staff" rule. He is now trying to flip it into a gender issue. It's not. It's when a person with his posting history acts like this and then derails now not 1 but 2 threads when there is an issue. So I suggest Nezzer you finally hear when I tell you - follow the rules. I'm done giving out warnings to you.

And again "bollocks" and C word are different. I am a woman who was called a c word a lot of times, so take my word for it if the above reasoning is not enough.
It's different.

Yeah, I don't like the c-word either. I'm not too squeamish when it comes to swearing, but there are a few english words that I hate, that's one of them, and so is the word "faggot". Both these words seem really hateful and vile to me, I dunno, I just don't like them.

There is a scene in The Wire season 1, I believe, that illustrates it well if you guys aren't sure of how grave the use of the word is - McNulty is in a car with the female cop and he calls his ex wife a C word. She is immediately taking aback and shocked asks him if he just called the mother of his kid that and he starts apologizing.
It's why you hear "bitch" a lot, "whore" even but not that word. Gone Girl got R rating just for the double use of that word. It's the strongest English swear word and since it's designed to offend and degrade women when it's additionally used to insult a woman...it's just plain awful.

Can this thread be locked btw? When the people here get the point. And I'm not sure they do. I only got to discover that conversation here even took place because 1. I don't have the time to read all the posts 2. the word was used again which prompt me to use "Search" function. Imagine my joy when I saw what went down.

I don't really get words like dick and "c-word". I mean, why would you call someone a penis or a vagina?

I don't really get words like dick and "c-word". I mean, why would you call someone a penis or a vagina? Words have denotation and connotation. The denotation, the literal meaning, of these words is as you said "penis" and "vagina". The connotation is the associated or secondary meaning of a word. These words have a negative connotation, because they are used to insult and hurt people.

Things go south and not in a good way when there isn't any dick talk in a thread.
