What does FTW mean in text and slang?

[Rosemarry]

I’ve come across FTW in chats, gaming, and social media posts, but I’m not totally sure what it means. Does it always stand for the same phrase, or can it have different meanings depending on context? I’ve seen it used in both positive and sarcastic ways. Can someone explain what FTW means and share a few examples of how people use it in everyday conversations?
