Maybe you say the "soft" version a lot around your friends (The fuck does that even mean anyway? Why should one be considered bad and one okay when they mean the same fucking thing anyway?) but I swear to god I heard a hard "er" at the end of the word. I dunno. Maybe it's because when we Aussies say them, there is literally only the tiniest difference of inflection in the two, but I swear I heard "er" and I'm going to stand by my ban. If it gets overturned it gets overturned.
I should also note I asked in chat if anyone else heard it and two people said that they did, since I did in fact not want to go off what might have been just my own mishearing
