That username one was pretty ridiculous. For all we know it was an auto-assigned username to someone named something like Faggo T., and no slur was meant. These same bristling SJW's would be flaming anyone who pointed out a non-Anglo-Saxon name for having an unfortunate abbreviation. (Of course this is a hypothetical of a hypothetical.)
One of the comments[1] even seems to indicate an earlier version of the article included occurrences of "fag" that were benign words in another language. If you literally search for offense on the Internet, you'll find it, but without context you might be getting offended over nothing.
