I told myself i would boycott this tournament when i first saw the reports of labor treatment in 2011.

i'm sticking by that. I know my "boycott" is absolutely meaningless and will not affect the tournament in any way lol, but i just can't in good conscience watch a single minute of it

I don't think facetious homophobes exist.. I think they're just incredibly not self aware

You’re 100% right, just learned I’ve been using facetious incorrectly 🤦‍♂️
