      I’ve watched the Irish YouTuber Jacksepticeye since I was a teenager and I remember in his earlier years he played a game about bumming cigarettes from people so naturally, he used the word “fag” a lot since it’s super common slang in not-American countries. IIRC the response towards him after the fact pushed him to make a very serious but very informative apology later on.
