I had to wrinkle the bag a little so everyone would see what I saw.

Kit Kat Cunts sounds like a riot girl band that opens for Sleater Kinney

That is so weird, I was just reading about them earlier today. I really only cared about one or two songs off their first album, but Apple Music recommended the 25th anniversary EP, it's like 4 songs on that album that are getting remade or something. Apparently they've gone through some lineup changes, it's still the two sisters singing and writing though, and their latest album of new material was last year.

Too heavy for me but I'll listen to "Brackish XXV." I might listen more than once. I mean, the novelty in 1999/2000 was, here's these 12-13 year old girls (I think one was 14?) and they make metal. And it's not even cute, they're serious about it and they're punching above their weight class. Not by much but they did alright and enjoyed moderate success. I guess it's still a novelty if their lineup is all female and they're writing their own stuff, that still makes them somewhat unique in the industry, but still not really my thing.

I really don’t think you needed an NSFW tag here lmao.

A coworker of mine was fired for referring to his wife as a cunt because a VP was in the warehouse and happened to hear his conversation. IMHO, cunt is NSFW.

Maybe this is a cultural thing. But in Australian (and to a lesser extent UK) english, “cunt” is pretty average. Like maybe as insulting as “dick”.

Like young aussies often call their mates “cunt”. Like “oi cunt”.

I was considering this conversation and how prudish this might seem. It comes off as pretty hostile here.

'Hey, cunt' comes off as 'hey, fucking asshole.' When directed at a woman, it often comes out with the word useless and indicates that she is only good for one thing.

I imagine that’s the case in your culture. But in many places in Australia.

“Oi Cunt”

sounds no different to “Yo Man” would in the US.

Obviously a cultural thing.

It’s seems the US is very much still at the stage of stigma. Which makes sense, the US is far more puritan about language.

Mostly yes, but I don't speak for all families. Cursing is usually avoided around other people's kids and in business situations here. In more relaxed situations, most people will let it slide. That said, cunt is basically sex talk and would make people uncomfortable.

You could probably get away with the word vagina in an informative setting on prime time television.

Pussy cat is the only way you are getting this second word in.

Cunt is explicit and either was said by an Australian or is evoking direct sex talk.

Then you're breaking rule 4 of this community.

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago

Fair. I just saw that. If asked, I can delete it.

The Dracula symbolism kinda puts an extra twist on it.
