until that word gets desensitized in the general public (which it definitively isn't, both in meaning and emotional baggage), this is about the biggest no-no you can do while being a public person
i wouldnt care if anyone i see in rl says it, i say it (exclusively to friends but i still say it)
but im not a YTer with like 40m subs that is streaming to an audience of over thousands of people while saying it tho

exactly. this is the way i thought about it to begin with. yes it's 'just a word' but popular people need to realize they aren't socially invincible. they will face consequences for saying/doing things that people don't like.
i can say monday right now and the most that could probably happen is that i get a friend or two removed from steam if they even know who i am. it's inconsequential. no one's going to care. but when there's BIG MEDIA BUCKS to be earned from a 40m sub saying something taboo, it's going to happen.
