Yea but it’s word that’s really soaked in hate. It’s not like removed imo, which isn’t exactly in good taste, but doesn’t come with the harm that the F slur does. I mean removed has a scientific usage, F slur is has no polite use besides asking for a cigarette in the UK, where they have their own slurs for homosexual men. It’s kinda like you just encouraged him to use the N word…

Some parts of the internet which are moderated may remove content that they believe is bigoted towards certain groups. Moderators may not always have the luxury of taking the time to understand exactly why a word that is normally inappropriate might be appropriate in a specific situation.

It’s also just a really hateful and gross word if you aren’t talking about a cigarette in Britain.
