lol "a heated gaming moment"
player unknowns battlegrounds is a very heated game dont you know
hell i wish i was the guy that did it to his friend. it's totally the kind of stuff i'd pull too. i shoot people who have a living chance even if i have no chance myself. sucks to suck.
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.
It's not my fault this isn't something worth caring about. If people still get upset when someone says monday than chances are they're actually a monday anyway.
it's mostly white people that get up in arms about it.
