I think it’s part of the Union language, being grossly rude, racist, mysoginist and homosexual/perverted at that. Schulz and the like of John Steward are this maggot trash rolling dog types.
Also they want to introduce the term and own it, and thus own people. I have a black niece and I cannot stand when black people seem to think they can use the N word, thus eventualy “pimp” righting themselves in owning her. They all are incontinent.
Excellent observations. I hadn't thought about it quite that way, but I think you are right.
