Oh okay, I guess that's where my disconnect was then. To me the word f***** was more in line with what you're describing pre-2005ish. I don't personally know too many people that still see that word as anything but a horribly inappropriate slur along the same line as any number of racial slurs in 2016.
Even comedians like Bill Burr and Louis CK that were famous for using it (Louis CK even has a famous bit on how the F word doesn't mean he's calling you gay it means you're being a f******) have come out and basically said "uhh yeah, I get it, not acceptable any more", and have dropped it from their acts.
