    By that logic black people cringe in pain listening to every other hip hop release for including that word. Which I also doubt.

    Point being, radio stations censoring themselves preemptively because someone, somewhere, might take offense isn’t a good indicator of how the affected people actually feel about it.

      Perhaps you can test this for yourself?

      Wait outside your nearest gay bar and call anyone that walks out a removed?

        The song does not call anyone a faggot, it’s quoting an (probably) hypothetical person thoughts.

        (Sorry for spelling it out - but I am convinced not using an evil word does only make the word an even stronger weapon)
