Lol I’m loving the snowflake drama and overreactions!
No, nobody is trying to control anyone’s language. Nobody has been sacked or disciplined for using that word. Hell even I used it in conversation once and I’ve been promoted 3 times in 8 years.

I actually suspect nobody inwardly complains as there’s no consequences for using the word “fag” in that context.
Discouraged: as far as I’m aware they get asked if they’re aware it can have offensive connotations to some. If they reply with anything along the lines of “well where I come from it’s harmless” then that’s fair enough and it ends right there.
