I'm guessing you and Flynt didn't actually read the OP, since they explicitly say they don't want to stop using or restrict usage of the words, or force a OMG THE PC POLICE WILL CENSOR US, especially in an RP context.
They just to bring an awareness of how the words sit in a cultural context both in RP and RL usage and the impact usage of such word carries, consciously and unconsciously in the same contexts we've constructed around them. They're shitty words used in shitty contexts to make people feel shitty. The reasons behind their entrenchment into our language are complicated, historical, and terrible and frankly we'd be better off without them in the same way we've ditched racial and homo/transphobic slurs that also used to be commonplace in a 'Well call a spade a spade because that's what it is' way of thinking.
