So using a term the way it's been used for decades is suddenly malicious if we change contexts.
No, I'm not buying that at all.
I mean, if you generalize it THAT far, I'm sure there are many terms that become malicious. The current bad words weren't always bad words in some cases (thinking more like the odd slurs like "idiot" than the tried and true cuss words).
In fact, wasn't f*ggot ONLY a term for bundles of sticks used for tinder until it became fashionable to burn gay people like witches?
