        Wasn’t going for bigotry by any means. Just that language is fluid. Never considered that cunt or cocksucker could be offensive in a gender/sexuality way, because I’ve only ever seen them as insults. Maybe asshole would be more inclusive to everyone, but language takes time to evolve I guess. If I ever unintentionally hurt someone with my language, I would simply apologize and take into consideration why it hurt them. Nothing hateful by any means

        Edit: unless I’m trying to be hateful, but then I probably wouldn’t use such terms… I would become more poetic about their ignorance and momma

          Whoah hey I was joking!

          Its about as ‘bigotted’ to intentionally and explicitly do an equal opportunity insult as it is to guess that someone who says ‘cunt’ is probably from the UK or AUS or NZ.

          … Because ‘cunt’ is just a more common part of the vocabulary there.
