Slur? The article seems to say it's just the word "fuck"

Are people still shocked by stupid shit like profanity? I was expecting racial slurs or something actually bad...

The word in question is not "fuck". It's "faggоt".

[And before someone complains: the above is an instance of metalinguistic usage of a word. It's morally OK as you're using the word to refer to itself, instead of using the word to convey any discourse that would target a marginalised group.]

Oooohhhhhhhhh. I completely forgot about that "f-word" and appreciate you not beating around the bush like the article did.

the f slur is different from the f word

Wow, I can't believe I almost slurred a hard R there!
