“The term my daughter called the’f-slur of gays’ was very common when I was a kid, and it has different applications,” he said. “I made a joke a few months ago and got a paper from my daughter. She left the table.

“I said,’Please, this is a joke! I said in the movie Stuck on you! ‘She went back to her room and wrote a very long and beautiful essay, explaining how dangerous the word is. I said,’I retired f-slur! I understand. “

Damon’s comments were quickly ridiculed on social media, and many Twitter users were shocked by the celebrity’s admission of continuing to use defamatory terms that were not widely known until recently.

Activist and writer Charlotte Kramer shared on Twitter: “This news about Matt Damon only recently decided to stop saying’f***’ after his daughter wrote him a’thesis’. **’, it makes me sad. Oh my God.

“This kind of thing forces me to wonder how many homophobic and transgender ***’progressive’ white cis-straight men say behind our backs that this is really bad.”

In response to those defending Damon, Kramer continued: “Some of you acted as if I was calling for boycotts or something. You really want what you want. I mean, very much. I’m glad he discovered that anti-gay slander is anti-gay, but I feel sorry for him for so long. It’s okay for me to feel this way. Please don’t make me feel different.”

“I want to know what word Matt Damon used instead of f*****,” actor Billy Eichner wrote in response to a controversial interview.

In response to the suggestion that celebrities are not obligated to talk to reporters, Fienberg said: “As a member of the press, I like celebrities to talk to the media, but it is always instructive to hear the stories of people like Liam Neeson or Matt. Damon thought it was human and charming, but it actually revealed insulation and isolation (and other annoying things).”

Wrote @mattxiv: “The most interesting part of the Matt Damon interview is that when he said’f*****’ meant something different when he was a kid, no, it didn’t.”

Questioned why Damon told this story in the first place, Vulture Music critic Craig Jenkins said: “Why Matt Damon would freely share that lol.”

Another Twitter user responded to Jenkins: “Because he is a person-and a good person-so we have to express how we can grow. If one doesn’t know, because one doesn’t use it in an angry or derogatory way, plus It’s generally placed a person may grow up there… it may take a slap in the face to understand why it’s not cool.”

Obviously not being influenced by the arguments put forward, Jenkins joked: “I fell asleep and saw dozens of such replies when I woke up. I might withdraw.”

Ironically, Damon revealed his use of homophobic defamation when talking about the criticism he faced in 2017 for choosing the wording when talking about sexual assault allegations. Harvey Weinstein face.

At that time, Damon said, “As the father of four daughters”, this “sexual predation keeps me awake at night”. Critics quickly spoke out, saying that he should oppose this behavior as a person, not just a father.

Looking back at the reaction, Damon told Sunday Times: “Twenty years ago, the best I can say is that reporters listened to music more than lyrics [of an interview]. Now your lyrics are being parsed, pull them out of the context and get the best title.

“Everyone needs to click. It doesn’t matter what I said before because it didn’t become news. But maybe this transition is a good thing. So I fucking shut up.”
