Last I checked we were both part of society. To quote your avatar, "change starts with us". Don't want "faggot" to be harmful to gays? Don't let it.

To quote the same line from my avatar, "change starts with us". There are still people who are deeply uncomfortable with the f-slur, and the community should recognize this and avoid it. Telling people not to be offended is not the solution, avoiding creating a hostile environment for minorities is.

If someone is uncomfortable with something that people are not universally uncomfortable with, it's their job to avoid it, not society's job to remove it. Plenty of people have seizures if exposed to flashing lights, but we still have movies and video games. And epileptics can't change their condition, you can. I know because faggot used to bother me as well. Then I realized that letting a couple soundwaves or letters ruin my day was stupid, especially when they aren't even being used to insult someone based on their sexuality.

There's no reason for this community to use the f-slur and many reasons why it shouldn't. There are plenty of insults that carry much less baggage for people that could be used instead. It's insensitive, disrespectful, and downright insulting to ignore the fact that this word is something incredibly hurtful to so many people still. Congratulations on making yourself numb to it, but you can't demand other people do the same. You can, however, not use the word and it becomes a non-issue.
