I agree completely with this. This campaign to make this word just as bad as the "n word" is absolutely ridiculous. I've brought this up with a lot of people, and I've yet to meet someone in real life who genuinely thinks this word should be censored in this manner.

Edit: This needs more context... please refer to my expansive explanation here: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12210243
