"In 2014, the most common meaning of 'FTW' is 'for the win', an internet
cheer used to express general enthusiasm.
[...]
Years ago, 'FTW' used to have a very negative meaning: 'f**k the world'.
This was a term commonly used by social rebels, anarchists and
anti-authoritarian types to express frustration with modern society.
Gratefully, this antisocial meaning has dramatically faded in use in the
21st century, and people now use 'for the win' as a modern cheer instead.
​"

No mention at all of "fix".
