Banning words is a very US thing, not "western world". In most countries it's normal to use the words we want to talk about, the words themselves are not "cursed" like Voldemort. Honestly the "x-word" thing is really childish.
There's a difference in using the words as a way to illustrate and using them as insults or bad words. Context matters.
