'Warmfag' has been a part of the CS/SBAF vernacular for a while. A lot of people join the site thinking they seek the 'ultimate truth'; a neutral signature. 'Warmfag' is the point at which they accept that deep down, they actually like a coloured setup.
How did a descriptor for someone liking a warmer than neutral signature come to include a homophobic slur anyways? I get that it's been around awhile, but it just seems unnecessary. Plenty of other words we can use instead that doesn't include something assholes scream at the LGBTQ community.
We are probably better off without it. The reason I did not find it offensive is that the two words don't naturally go together as insults. Whereas I did find the term "Head-Fag" (for HF) offensive as it was intended to express contempt for an obviously bad state of affairs.
