"Nigger is a noun in the English language, most notable for its usage in a pejorative context to refer to black people (generally people of Sub-Saharan African descent), and also as an informal slang term, among other contexts. It is a common ethnic slur. The word originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, meaning the color 'black'."

See, "nigger" used to be neutral, but is now widely considered pejorative.
Most people who are considered "fakebit" see it as pejorative and have voiced that opinion, among them respected members of this community like minusbaby and 4mat. I believe we should respect that and discard the use of the term "fakebit". Besides, for all I know, you might be the one who wrote that wikipedia article. I doubt it's a wildly popular wikipedia article and that it gets corrected much.

But more importantly, you are way besides the point, darling.
