I call people fucking cunts on 3 platforms. Here's what I've seen.
1. Mumsnet. Lots of engagement on posts where I call JK Rowling a fucking cunt. Banned.
2. LinkedIn. More consistent engagement with me calling Elon Musk a fucking cunt being most viral. Banned.
3. Mastodon. I once did a post where I called JK Rowling and Elon Musk a pair of fucking cunts and John Mastodon sent me a nice hamper.
@Nickiquote @Nicovel0 content aside, I didn’t know anyone could get banned from LI for anything that isn’t a scam, impersonation, or illegal.
Mostly you see people putting some racist “thought leadership” under their full name where current and future employers will see it and think “seems like self harm, but you do you”
Prior to this post, I hadn't heard about Mumsnet and thought it might be a clever pejorative for Facebook.
if anyone's curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumsnet

It is used, like words for male body parts and often interchangeably, because they are historically taboo and also because it is a pleasing-sounding insult, sharp at both ends.
@LeelaTorres @Nickiquote "ass" isn't remotely sharp, is a different word to "arse", both of those occupy different niches already, and there are already enough forces americanising everything as it is
also, "cunt" upsets the middle class, which is a more important social good than ever
@Nickiquote Now try calling republicans cunts on all 3. I imagine not the same outcome.
We all live in echo chambers....
Last Friday I got up at 7am my country was screwed. The English and Welsh had decided to leave the EU. Scotland voted to stay but because the better together campaign had stopped us getting independence we can’t stand alone. Racist attacks soared over night in England. Scotland is handcuffed to a nation that voted... Read More
