Rude?

Yes, surprisingly, using an acronym like "The Fucking Article" might be construed as rude in certain circles.

TFA often means "the full article", even though the more rude sense is more common elsewhere.

I’m sorry, but you cannot use “TFA” without implying “The fucking article” at least to some degree. That’s just how it is, never mind the intent. If you want to be polite you do not use “TFA”, it’s as simple as that.

or you could give the poster the benefit of the doubt and read it as "the featured article". It's your decision how you decide to read it.
