In the last two comics, the epithet "FAG" was used quite a bit to make a point. (albiet a point lost on most people). However, by no means should anyone be upset by this usage of a simple word.
In fact, for years, "fag" was common British slang for a cigarette, and "faggot" was once a traditional term for a bundle of kindling with which to start fires.
How it became a slur against gay people, I have no idea, but it probably has something to do with the fact that all homophobes are fucktards. Good evening, America.
