  I’ve seen that with FTW where some people think it means ‘for the win’ or something like that

    I definitely associate FTW with ‘for the win’ first. Now I’m heading to wikipedia to read the disambiguation page to see what else it means.

      I don’t know if it’s a generational thing but I also read it as meaning “For the win”. It would need to be in a very specific context for me to see someone meaning “fuck the world”

        I’m positive it was “for the win” long before “fuck the world”. This sounds like Gen Z co-opting our acronym and gaslighting us into thinking we’re wrong, to me.
