What exactly is it about the 'c' word that so offends people?

I know it does, and I use it reservedly, but why is it any more offensive
than 'chuff' or 'minge'?

Is it because it has a hard 'c' sound?

Also, do those people who find such offense at reading the word, also find
offence at 'cnut' for example, which I and others have used in the past
without sanction?  Why is that?  

Genuine musing on my part.
