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)
That's not what the song it doing. It's more.like waiting outside a gay bar and telling everyone "guess what that asshole over there just called me?"
How is that in any way the same thing? I wouldn’t call a black person the other word either, in music or art it’s fine though.
