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.

Sure, we all know it is in appropriate and comedians have dropped from acts etc doesn't mean the connection that Louis had goes away over night. People know not to use it when they are thinking clearly and are completely aware of what they are doing.
