The French newspaper Le Monde tries to explain to its readers what is going on.

dani smith is a traitorous cunt!

So many places to go after Danielle smith. Do we have to make her sex one of them? She is a horrible leader, a liar, traitorous, vacuous, purveyor of bullshit culture war, climate change denier, maga sycophant, incompetent shitforbrains, and worst of humanity

You can say a lot without mentioning her sex

I could. But she doesn’t deserve that kind of respect
I agree she doesn’t deserve respect. I guess my point is that it’s not just her that you’re hurting with misogynistic slurs, it’s also my daughter who gets hurt
I totally hear you. It is not my intention to hurt anyone else besides danis shitty feelings. I just dont have a problem getting in the mud with them to play their own game

Look, I don’t mean to antagonize you but you’re looking at it in a very American-centric (and quasi-chauvinistic) way.

In other countries the c-word doesn’t have the same connotation as in the US. You are assuming American culture, and its concepts, are universal. They’re not.

There’s nothing inherently wrong in the c-word and the n-word, but it’s the context where those words got to be used that made them so repugnant. Since the n-word was mostly a US thing, its taboo meaning passed over to all variants of English. The c-word though, was already used in other variants and didn’t have the same bad connotation it does in the US. So it kept being used in a different way.

Trying to force the American meaning on other English speakers comes at best as ignorant and, at worst, chauvinistic. I don’t think you have bad intentions since you clearly don’t understand how a word can have very different meanings in different cultures. But now you know.
