sndals, and the latt revolv around actor Matt Damon and a recent terview which he appeared to normalize the e of an offensive gay slur. If you’ve only heard bs and piec of the story, you may be nfed, but fear not—below, you’ll fd a full explanatn of the Damon drama, om his origal statement to his more recent walk back.</p><h2>What did Matt Damon origally say?</h2><p>In a <a href=" target="_blank"><em>Sunday Tim</em></a> terview on Augt 1, Damon lnched to a diatribe about “chang morn masculy,” notg that he had stopped g what lled the “f-slur,” which “was monly ed when I was a kid, wh a different applitn.” Damon ntued, “I ma a joke, months ago, and got a treatise om my dghter. She left the table. I said, ‘Come on, that’s a joke! I say the movie <em>Stuck on You</em>!’ She went to her room and wrote a very long, betiful treatise on how that word is dangero. I said, ‘I retire the f-slur!’ I unrstood.” (I have many thoughts here, but chief among them are rpect for Damon’s dghter and nfn at how cln the movie <em>Stuck on You</em> negat the efficy of a slur.)</p><h2>What was the rponse to Damon’s words?</h2><p>Many were unrstandably outraged by Damon’s sual e of a word that has brought pa to so many, not to mentn the fact that the impact of the word didn’t seem to occur to him until his teenage dghter poted out. Still, Twter—as so often do—found humor the suatn:</p><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad---ntent"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot---ntent" data-no-id="5j1vz"></div></div><div aria-label="social media post" class="TwterEmbedContaer-ggEzfU fHwbKp"><div class="MsageBannerWrapper-krrtvl jLaGIg ConsentBannerWrapper-bMdLtU WTFWJ" data-ttid="msage-banner"><div class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ MsageBannerContent-gLUJfX iUEiRd ilYJdo iFDHgP"><h4 class="ConsentBannerTle-lgaGAH gOfech">Twter ntent</h4><p>This ntent n also be viewed on the se <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer" class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ BaseLk-eNWuiM ConsentBannerLk-dJZMSz iUEiRd ilYJdo eSKQbD">origat</a> om.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB kNleGZ sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--rail" data-no-id="3iwfy"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="psngt8h"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa dUONRr body body__ntaer article__body" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="body__ner-ntaer"><div aria-label="social media post" class="TwterEmbedContaer-ggEzfU fHwbKp"><div class="MsageBannerWrapper-krrtvl jLaGIg ConsentBannerWrapper-bMdLtU WTFWJ" data-ttid="msage-banner"><div class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ MsageBannerContent-gLUJfX iUEiRd ilYJdo iFDHgP"><h4 class="ConsentBannerTle-lgaGAH gOfech">Twter ntent</h4><p>This ntent n also be viewed on the se <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer" class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ BaseLk-eNWuiM ConsentBannerLk-dJZMSz iUEiRd ilYJdo eSKQbD">origat</a> om.</p></div></div></div><div aria-label="social media post" class="TwterEmbedContaer-ggEzfU fHwbKp"><div class="MsageBannerWrapper-krrtvl jLaGIg ConsentBannerWrapper-bMdLtU WTFWJ" data-ttid="msage-banner"><div class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ MsageBannerContent-gLUJfX iUEiRd ilYJdo iFDHgP"><h4 class="ConsentBannerTle-lgaGAH gOfech">Twter ntent</h4><p>This ntent n also be viewed on the se <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer" class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ BaseLk-eNWuiM ConsentBannerLk-dJZMSz iUEiRd ilYJdo eSKQbD">origat</a> om.</p></div></div></div><h2>What did Damon offer as an apology?</h2><p>Damon did an abpt double back once the ntroversy h, releasg a statement that <a href=" target="_blank">said</a>, part, “I have never lled anyone ‘f****t’ my personal life and this nversatn wh my dghter was not a personal awakeng.

Are we really—like, actually—still supposed to believe that a man of 50, who’s worked Hollywood for s, didn’t realize that particular slur was offensive and humanizg until his teenage dghter poted out? I suppose you have to admire the honty, but really don’t.</p><figure class="CneVioEmbedFigure-kCfJjN hdJOda e-vio-embed"><div data-ttid="script-ntaer"></div></figure></div></div></div><div
