      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.

          Sorry! It’s been a long day on my end, but I appreciate that clarity. Honesty is honestly refreshing sometimes, so thank you for that. I was being defensive, that’s my bad

          Edit: Ohhhhhh, I understand your first reply now. I know I’m dumb, but I guess I am that tired lol. Welp… time to hit the 'ol dusty traaaaiilll. Sorry for the misunderstanding friend

            Hey no problem!

            I totally understand that sometimes my layers of irony and sarcasm are… a bit too deep, haha!
