I'm sure he is ! I used to watch all the clan matches him and master fighter did all the way up to the point he felt he needed to use such language to describe someone
It matters. If he said faggot to someone who wasnt gay, I dont see how that makes him homophobic. Its not words that define someone as hateful, it is intentions.
Its like if I say the words nigga or nigger. Unless i am referring to someone directly in a hateful manner, those words should be relatively powerless.
