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.
The one not swearing won that interaction, I don't care what the votes say.
Edit: You unfunny fuckers.
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
