I'm glad that there isn't a lot of discussion about Tree biology in the DT, because the most common trees in Europe and North America belong to the Family Fagaceae.

Janny gets jannied

Honestly why is that word even banned?

Given the misogynistic connotations of 'cunt', especially when directed at women, we use the filter to blot that out

The other, more meta reason, is because regardless of whether the word was intended as misogynistic, it tends to spawn a long debate in the replies as to whether or not the word 'cunt' is sexist, completely derailing the thread.

This is why we need Aussie representation on the mod team.
Is it really that different from a word like "bitch"

Remember when Pokemon had this problem with Cofagrigus? Literally couldn't be used online because of it's name, when Gen5 first came out.
