It's still a heavily gendered insult in the US, possibly Canada too, but censoring doesn't change that either way. Australia and other English speaking countries 'cunt' is a lot less problematic and the Internet is international so... just fucking swear on the fediverse, nobody is stopping you as long as you're not on an instance with a word filter, lol.

I had a civics teacher that used to say, "You want everyone around you to have rights just like you because when they take away your neighbor's rights they've taken away your neighborhood."

I don't think I fully understood that until the ICE thugs started masking up and the world got lonelier.
