For me it was Elon Musk calling a rescue worker a pedophile and then doubling down on the claim. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/15/elon-musk-b

  I found it surprising to read that some of Elon’s high school classmates confirmed that slang word was used to mean ‘idiot’ in their locale. I have some family members from SA… very interesting culture to say the least!

    Back in middle school the "F" word for a bundle of sticks was often used as a derogatory term directed at people you didn't like, regardless of their sexual orientation. That doesn't make it okay for me to call someone that on the public stage because as an adult you are supposed to know better and keep up with changing public opinion Just because you did something stupid and wrong as a kid doesn't mean you should be able to get away with doing it as an adult.
