>>7 You are one person. I consider the word a negative that may accumulate over time, insidiously and slowly. I object to the usage of the word as a pejorative, since it is as relevant as negatively referring to someone as a "firefighter" or "someone who likes Björk". I also dislike the default use of demasculanating insults towards men and insults aimed at women that imply promiscuity. They are not taken literaly but they are part of something dank and pathetic that the western world should have grown out of by now.
