Calling someone a faggot on here or out in the world to people you dont really know or have met is disrespecting at the very least, never mind the fact that its still regarded as a derogatory put down. Talk about the terminology, origins, expanded meaning, wether or not it should still be a pejorative term, whatever..... just dont call someone on here it.
Amongst friends, good friends you have known fro quite a while then sure, in a conversation you can laugh and call them any name under the sun, including "haahaa your a fucking faggot". Ive did it with my friends. But if someone i dont know, or havent met calls me it, then we have problems we will be sorting out right shaprish.
