Rampage out A8 > AQ (paired 4 board but gets rivered by 2 pair)

So what happened? Context?

Who cares? "...but dude...." That was a playful jab that was blatantly not homophobic. A few months back "The Poker Guru" called an actual gay player Ryan Laplante the harder "-got" version of that slur after a tournament hand on stream and it wasn't a big deal he just apologized.
Randall is a fitting name for you that was also the snitch kid in that show Recess lmao

I didn't realize it was still acceptable to use that term.

You have an odd definition of "playful"

Maybe it's a big deal if Mariano doesn't acknowledge it and apologize.

Imbed isn’t me. A good discussion on why that word is so harmful and not acceptable in any circumstances.

So if you use that word and then acknowledge it and apologize it's ok? Does that also apply to racial slurs?

Pretending to not understand the relevance of context is peak trolling, high tier comedy.

I don't know how the context of the "F" word went from a bundle of sticks to a derogatory sexual slur.

I avoid using that word though it's 2021.

ITT we learn that slurs are ok to use, as long as it's in good fun (at least for the person making the slur).

Not a good look for Mariano. Yes, he probably just said it reflexively and without realizing the impact it would have; and if he said he wasn't a homophobe I'd probably believe him. That still doesn't change, however, that in today's cancel culture the general public tends not to give people second chances if they've had the rope to hang themselves. Curious to see what, if anything, comes of this.

Just having the terms in your vocabulary is bad. Knowing you're being recorded and it comes out is really bad.

I agree with the last two posts and wasn't trying to insinuate anything more than he shouldn't have said it.

If you say that word reflexively surely it means you use the word in normal conversation. This is a pretty normal word for homophobes to use I'd think. People that are pro LGBTQ+ also use this word? Why?

lots of people who /are/ LGBTQ+ use this word when referring to others who are also LGBTQ+, much like people of color and the N-word. seems to be like a term of endearment between members of an out-group that share a common struggle, apparently?

...maybe Mariano's trying to tell us all something there?

I'm pretty sure the 6 letter N-word is not acceptable in any context and people would be very highly offended if a vlogger used it.

Mariano did only use the 3 letter F word.

What if the biggest podcaster in the world used it? You can be offended if you want but this is how pathetic cancel culture is most of the time, one individual pulling a Randall and tattling on 1 second of an 8hour+ stream in a spot literally nobody but him noticed as an effort to make him seem like a bad guy or even worse demonetize their work because of semantics and this need to virtue signal a false intent of hatred onto some obviously meaningless throwaway comment. Sad but such is the life of the duo who spend their lives talking sht about vloggers all day every day.
