Ricky Gervais tells a terrific story regarding this word.
Always big in the movement to stop animal cruelty, he posted an online petition regarding the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, which included a vid of two men skinning a dog alive with the caption, 'A Beautiful Creature Being Tortured To Death By Two Vicious Cunts'.
There - naturally enough - followed a twitter spat, with a woman asking, 'Did you have to use the c-word? A lot of people are offended by that.' Gervais replied that she seemed to be missing the point, which was that dogs are being tortured in China for no good reason. A back-and-forth ensued, in which the woman seemed to try and make the point that the use of the c-word was more serious than dogs being skinned alive.
Gervais ended it with the tweet, 'People offended by the use of the c-word wouldn't hear it as much if they didn't behave like such cunts.'
