From about.com:

"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".
