I censored myself because, while I have no issue using these words explicitly in appropriate discussions, I prefer not to in highly visible public forums out of respect for people who would rather not see them.
With that said, would your opinion change if I told you that my hypothetical scenario was about using the form of the term ending with "er" and not the more colloquially affectionate "ga"?

Is it inherently insulting by established definition, or because society has deemed it to be so?
If the former, Umi's argument has merit. If the latter, my argument has merit.
