The word fag needs to be taken back from the haters. My first encounter with it was in the context of cigarettes.

While I applaud those who can, it's too traumatic for me personally.

I mean, queer people use about/among themselves sometimes. Over time it might get more reclaimed like "queer" was

But it will take time, either way, and some people will never be okay with the word, as they have too much bad association with it, just the same as with "queer"

I sometimes use it for comedic value, though relatively rarely. I avoid using it among people who I don't know well, though

"Smoking a pack of fags" can be a bad idea or a truly horrible one depending on where you live.

It refers to obnoxious harley riders

I hate South Park. It’s occasionally funny, this is not one of those occasions

We've had the plan for taking back the word laid out for a long time.
