I suppose it reflects just what a desensitized and putrid person that I am when I find the words "fag" and "faggot" so mundane due to their highly frequent usage that has eroded them to the point of being akin to grunts. I've seen a lot of usage by openly gay and trans individuals, as well.

(Fun fact: Faggots are a traditional British dish made from meat offal. Its existence frequently horrifies Americans when they first learn of it.)
