No. Offensive words are not magically less offensive because of the intent behind them. They are offensive because of the history behind them, because of the negative connotations that have been put behind them.. You can't just erase that because your intent isn't offensive.

If your intent were not offensive, you'd use a different fucking word.

Why is this hard for some people to understand?

[(Anonymous)]

You gain nothing by using a slur and lose nothing by not using a slur. I will never understand why people have difficulty with this...

[(Anonymous)]

It's not a lack of understanding, at least not in my case,but simply a difference in philosophy:

There are only 2 ways to stop a harmful word from harming somone you can either ban it outright, make it taboo, or you can change it's meaning through common use.

The former wont work to may way of thinking. it only prereves the words power, or worse, amplifies it, making it more virelent through rarity value. see cunt in america for example.

The latter litterally robs the word of it's power. see cunt in england.

Actually see any swearword in the world.

Bastard comes to mind as a great example.

am late for work, please excuse typing fails

[(Anonymous)]

uh, cunt is still extremely offensive in england, thanks

-an english woman

Really? Where'd you live? Up here in Newcastle it's admitedly less popular than down in the far south (My boss for example, but still used with more frequency than some kinds of punctuation, and it's not used as hatfully as it is by the yanks. Across the ocean it's a gendered insult (apparently) and is aimed at exclusivly at women, where as here it's really more of an all-purpose swear. Like smeg, but more fun to say.

And you are right, it's still offensive but only in the 'Dont say it infront of your nana' kind of way. Hell, among some folks it's even a compliment of sorts (See the scotts.)

I have to say: I'm not sure what point you were trying to mean to be honest, could you clarify?

[(Anonymous)]

nayart

It's considered really offensive where I live, and definitely not in a 'don't say it in front of nana' way. (Kent anon)

[(Anonymous)]

bullcrap, it is not, neither is twat. Or fag.

[(Anonymous)]

it really depends in what context. me and my friends call eachother cunts affectionately, and also use it on a par with twat/bellend/arsehole, but i'd certainly never use it in a formal situation (or in front of my parents, haha)
