not really, they just don't get all worked up about it.
There is no "oh no you didn't" reaction to a word, just for saying it without a bad connotation.. And even if you do use it with bad connotation, people don't get all screwy.
Similar like when somebody in the US uses the Nword, as in a quote.
Y'all have a tendency to go all apesjit over the word beeing uttered, just because it's that word.
Not because of the intention of who uses it and the context in which it was used.
I once read they tried to suspend a student, for singing along with a rap song on the radio, where the rapper used it.. So she just sang along, and they tried to suspend her from school over it.
Freedom of speech doesn't account for sjit if she did end up suspended over that.
