I wouldn't order them like that tbh for lest to most offensive. I would put cunt in the middle.

    It's that it's very directly targeted at a group of people, would you call someone that's not gay a

    Faggot
    ?

    It's the implications of "this group of people are inherently bad, and therefore my comparison of you to them is an insult"

    Faggot is a weird American one so probably not personally but I can easily see context where I wouldn't be too bothered by it's usage

    The point ain't the word, it's this:

    Also no, it's not American, it's British, they imported it later

    It's more that faggot isn't really a word I would use not because it's too offensive to use, but it just seems too American/irrelevant.

    With the right context I might use gay as a mild insult.
