People here in Scotland use it all the time and I have used it plenty too. It's a gender neutral term
-
I'm a proud removed and I'm tired of being censored
I'm allowed to say it don't ban me

I actually agree that it's a completely different word from a cultural standpoint, and I don't find it offensive when an Australian says it most of the time. That said, there is nothing more obnoxious than hearing a reddit-brained American try to drop it to be edgy, thinking they sound worldy. It's a worse version of Americans saying "wanker", though that might actually be more lame.

Midwesterners sweatin' thinking you're talking about banning the word

I will say cracker whenever i damn well please

The fact that cr*cker is not recognized by the slur filter but removed is says a lot about society
-
Cracker is a dry salty wheat product, negro is a black liquorice candy.

Manually typing removed to obfuscate the word and cause confusion
-
keeping everyone on their toes by typing "you're a real removed"

The biggest factor in accent is class. Lower paid working class Australians will generally have a broader more classically stereotyped Australian accent. Your ruling class, national bourgeois, PMC, richer petit bourgeois etc will have a private school voice that comes off a little bit upper class English, a bit mid-atlantic.
There's the historical factors that contribute to Australia's usage of the word c*nt too.
If you go back a century or so, there was a pretty clear "class" divide (in a non-Marxist, Bourdieuvian sense) between the working people and the ruling elite.
Australian larrikin culture was deeply skeptical of authority, pretentious people, and those who sought to join the ranks of the ruling class (or at least to emulate them.) Partly by its historical roots in lower class culture and partly by intent, larrikin culture would be crass and vulgar because this was like a shibboleth; if you were capable of engaging in the vulgarity then you'd signal to the other people around you that you were "one of them" rather than being like a haughty, polished Eton College graduate who would instinctually turn their nose up at that sort of stuff.
While I'd argue that the spirit of larrikin culture is dead and its bloated corpse looms large over contemporary Australian culture as a grim parody of what it once was, the tradition of being crass and vulgar remains, and it's still used to signal to in-groups.
What that means is Australians use often use the term c*nt as a term of endearment but that will only be with people who are on the same level. You wouldn't hear an office worker using it as a term of endearment to their boss or supervisor but when they are around workmates having a drink together, you're much more likely to hear it then.
It's a really interesting cultural phenomenon but I'm completely in favour of banning the use of the word c*nt in this space because the alternative will only provide a flimsy pretext for chuds to claim that ackshually they were using the term "like an Aussie".

Yeah, I can pick out Melbourne vs Sydney accents, and even Sydney East vs North vs West (and the various cultural group differences such as Mediterranean-influenced Australian), but it's not something most people would pick up on, even many Australians. Someone from out in the country is gonna think the West and upper North has harsher vowels than them (a holdback of First Nations English vernacular) and the others are just posh city boys.
It's more like someone from London being able to pick up what street you're from.

Particularly annoying hearing people go fake-RP and cons since Tennant had a fucking Scottish accent and Ecceston had a Yorkshire!
-
There's a slur filter?
-
racism factory instructions advise changing your slur filter every 10 to 15 thousand miles
-
If you haven't found it yet, you're doing great!

I love when it shows up in the middle of some other word and it's like "oh. I guess i learned something today.

If you're outside of Hexbear and you slur it gets replaced by removed when viewed from Hexbear.
If you're inside of Hexbear and you slur they take you outside and shoot you in the face.
-
Hexbear uses a slur filter and it's shown me how many people from other instances casually use the r-word in 2023

Like kindergarteners thinking that calling someone dumb or stinky is the same level of badness as fuck
