Kevin Hart had the best response to the viral 'gay son or th*t daughter' debate.
The question is said to have originated from street interviews and is designed to provoke and highlight prejudices in society.
A th*t can be considered as an offensive and misogynistic slang term and stands for 'that h*e over there'.
While the question was initially supposed to be a form of 'rage-bait', it is now commonly used to expose certain views towards the LGBTQ+ community, as well as female sexuality.

In a recent interview with Ziwe, the Jumanji star and father to two boys and two girls was asked about his 'favorite letter' in 'LGBTQIA'.
"The fact that you would want me to answer that says a lot about you," the 46-year-old responded, joking that Ziwe was 'the problem'.
"I'm the problem?" Ziwe replied, as Kevin said: "Well, I'm not going to say you're the solution. Game on."
Ziwe, who is also an actor and comedian known for her second-degree humour in her interviews, then asked for his take on the 'gay son or th*t daughter' debate.

"I would rather have two healthy kids. Like, it doesn't matter to me," Kevin, the husband of Eniko Hart, admitted.
"Two healthy children and the fact that you have to put them in those categories says a lot about who you are."
He went on: "I'm just telling you I think the real problem is in the thinker, not the answerer. The thinker.
"Maybe you should maybe you should just ponder on that for a second."

Although it can be hard to tell when Kevin is joking, it appeared that he was dead serious about his answer and it was appreciated by viewers.
"This is exactly the kind of response you get when you bait someone with provocative questions. Kevin Hart nailed it 'Two healthy kids is all that matters' is just the perfect answer," one person commented.
A second said: "He become f**king Socrates in this moment," while a third wondered: "Why ask a grown a*s man who has both sons and daughters this childish a*s question anyways."
Someone else, who doesn't appear to be a fan of his, also wrote: "I don’t like this dude, but mad respect for this. Who knows maybe it’s just the media training paying off but regardless this is cool message."

Elsewhere in the interview, Kevin addressed apologising in the past for making past homophobic jokes, adding: "Well, you don't have to constantly do something if you're accountable and you are strong enough to stand in whatever the line of fire is to say things.
"So, whether it's been the family or friends or gay people in the past accountability is key. And I think to all of those people that were mentioned in that particular question, I have definitely been aware and accountable."
