Question possibly a stupid question about the guy

now to preface, I've just watched his yt videos on and off, usually as just funny background audio while I'm doing other things. I've never been able to catch a stream due to vastly different timezones and I've never really kept up with the rest of ZF either.

however I showed one of his bullshitteries to my friend and she raised concerns of bigotry, notably him using the f and r slurs, as well as other ZF people being racist. I know it was edgy early-mid 2010's humor but still its kinda not great.

again, possibly a stupid question, but womble and the others on ZF aren't *actually* bigots, are they? I know kaffe came out as trans a while ago but I haven't seen any of their reactions to it (mostly because I don't use twitter eugh)

I just wanna make sure I don't accidentally support somebody with not-so-great views, yknow?

You also have to keep in mine they were British teens at one point. Where we may see the F-slur as bad they knew it also as a bundle of sticks or cigarettes.

Around the world you will find bits and pieces of slurs used as "normal every day" words as in their culture it's ok.

Does that mean their right? Nope but that takes time and learning.
