It depends on how it is used. Like the word" *****(have to avoid the censors) it has a nonprofane meaning. If you use it in reference to a female dog it is not profane. Yahoo won't let you use it in any context. Bastard is a bit arhaic in its original meaning. Being born out of wedlock is not the social disgrace it once was. It is a minor level swear word. I think there is even a hip hop group called the "Magnificent Bastards."

There are some things in this world I just can't wrap my mind around. I will never understand hurting or using against some one something they did not chose and can't change. Their terms for the mother but not the father the child is totally innocent so why label them? Is it a cuss word any word can be a cuss word it is all in the tone. Watch MILK! see didn't that sound like a cuss word ?

I dont consider it a profane word, but I bet you get a violation for using it in a question.

Absolutely not. It is an old legitimate word to describe childen of unmarried parents historically. Old English royalty - some had a band of material across their chests in formal wear called a "Bar Sinister" which indicated there was a bastard in their parentage somewhere! Even in the old Canadian Law the term is still recorded.
On the other hand..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Nope. I use it all the time here. Usually it's in the term - "Those sneaky Canadian bastards". I like to blame Canada for stuff, most Canadians on here are fun and can take a joke.
The ones who thumbs down me-lighten up.

No, C unt's worse.
And before I get a violation, the above word is also a description for a leather sheath fixed to the girth belt of a horse in Mongolia.

While I don't consider it to be "profane", it isn't something I want to have to hear on a regular basis.
