I’m on lemmy.ml but as I’m French, I was reading this comment and was surprised to see removed instead of the french word for “late”.

Is there anything I can do on my end or is it a server setting and I should move to a French one?

      At least in Australia, they are very common gender neutral insults. Never heard anyone use it as a slur over here, but I’ve no clue how people in your country use them

        “common” and “insult” I believe, but if you think a word that refers to a female dog and a word that refers to a female sex organ are gender-neutral, well…

            In the US, too, but the usage is always “you are acting like a woman and being a woman is bad so you are bad”

            that’s what ‘slur’ means
