      I have a hard time reconciling the fact that the word f*ggot was used constantly.

      Like, constantly.

        Eddie Murphy’s one earlier standup special (Raw?) drops it a bunch. I meannn even in the later oughts the one big joke in The Hangover was “paging Dr. Faggot!!!” Straight up trailer material to boot, if I’m not mistaken. More like 80s-early 2000s. Most people learned over time to change for the better socially, for a bit at least.
