i just realized i say "fag" a lot more than "faggot". i almost never say "faggot."
one syllable words are scientifically proven to be funnier than multi-syllable
The words have taken on a less "hateful" meaning in our society, akin to lame etc. I don't think this is something that should be filtered/warned for/banned for, if it is used in a non-hateful way.
considering nigger, heeb, cunt, chink, gook, wetback, spick, wop, polack, canuck, jap, yank, kraut, cracker, sand monkey, armo, babu, khokhol, et al haven't been filtered then i don't think fag, faggot, and gay will be.
