lol I remember lurking the DM advice thread in TG like 4 years ago, and it was The Hyphz Therapy and Neurosis Handling Thread even back then. The dude's absolutely nuts. He seems fine if you just read a few of his posts, but then you realize that nothing anyone else says even enters his brain and he lives in a carefully constructed alternate reality where being able to run an improv rpg scenario is 1) The most noble pursuit man can undertake, 2) Something only geniuses can do, 3) The only thing that would give hyphz's life meaning, 4) Something hyphz dare never, ever do because it would suck and all his friends would hate him.

it's per mod, personally as an eastern Strine i don't care but some people just really dislike the word. there's an accepted truce in aus/nz/uk themed threads, everywhere else post at your own risk.

you can just not post slurs

like you can get away with most any word depending on context, like if you're clearly a brit talkin about cigarettes and not a yank talkin about homosexuals

if you don't want to run the risk of getting probed because your post was not read in australian, you can avoid that risk real easy

"i don't like that word, please don't use it around me" seems like a pretty reasonable thing to ask, but consistency in the application of rules also seems pretty reasonable to expect

GBS has "don't say it outside X threads" formalized as policy, so there's an example to follow if you want to

As has been said, it depends where you are. In America it's a level above "gently caress" for obscenity and is used as a slur to women. In the UK it's an insult but not a gender specific one (c.f. the hit song "Boris Johnson Is A loving C-"). In Australia it's a punctuation mark.

Very generalized anecdote, but I think I generally hear more women using it to describe other women and men using it to describe other men. Or themselves.

I think people hear I'm Australian and assume I'm okay with it so they feel safer saying it.

You know at least 16 words and one of them is "fascist," an actual epithet; I think you have the capacity to drop one whole word when posting in a globally accessible forum without losing the ability to communicate entirely.
