Is it supposed to be "fag"?
Oh, maybe? Does PragerU think its audience is British or something?
no
The only reality available
I forgot Americans don't call them fags.
American here, I honestly thought that fag was a synonym for asshole or jerk until I was like twenty. It's hard to say how many of my peers also didn't realize it was a slur. Obviously I don't use the word anymore.
Honestly I only found out it was a slur 3 days ago and I still don't know what it's targeted towards
Gay rights are human rights.
I'm British and even I didn't get it because I know they're not (we have GBNews instead). So I would just interpret it as "cigarette"
As a Canadian I look at that and think dart or a smoke.
I interpreted it as either meaning tab or fag so I guess entirely depends on the region you’re from.
