To be honest I don't know anybody who would use it and I don't voluntarily frequent any spaces where it would be used. It's broadly similar to someone casually using racial slurs in signifying "this person probably sucks to be around"

It's a fairly recent development but I think a good one.

When you use phrases like "the r-word" or any of the other equivalents for other words, what you are doing is acknowledging that the word is not one you are comfortable saying because of its use.

Which is a normal thing to do. It exists so that you can describe the existence of the word while separating that description of the word from the normal use of the word, because the normal use of the word is bad.
