Which post, if any one ones?
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/elon-musk-twitter-terrible-things-hes-said-and-done (it's 2022, but you can find more up to date summations if you care to look)
idk man, in the article I find what he said is:
-The "sexist joke" by saying "TITS" is just a dumb joke, not "misogynistic".
-The "Pronouns suck" comment, is weird and just vague, and not necessarily queerphobic. Maybe he just doesn't like changing the standard language much. It doesn't necessarily say he will purposely use the wrong pronoun on people, in practice. Too vague to work with.
-Calling Warren "Karren Warren" and saying "You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason". I guess maybe this can be considered misogynistic, but I'd by far attribute this to just "being rude", because he just insults her for her actions. Just because this insult is a comparison to another woman that acted hysterically, does not make it misogynistic. Yes, the "Karen" is generally a sex-specific insult, but again, this can also be taken as just an insult in general.
Yeah sure there could be more examples, but going from the link you posted, there is barely anything to call him misogynistic, let alone queerphobic. I don't care who he is, I'd have said this to anyone who said these things.
He's literally using the wrong pronouns and name for his transgender daughter. He's literally said he agrees with JK Rowling's transphobic comments.
You know how after a certain time has passed it's no longer a spoiler to talk about how Vader is Luke's father? Well, there's certain stuff that's so obvious and widely known that people will stop believing that you don't know about it and will assume you're trolling.The fact that you keep insisting that you haven't seen evidence of him being queerphobe is on you at this point, imo.
I wholeheartedly agree, it's just that I haven't seen it, and that doesn't mean he is NOT queerphobic. I was simply asking questions. If you don't like that, what can I do about that?
Have you also not seen enough to learn why the “just asking questions” justification isn’t super effective around here?
It’s used as thinly veiled cover for spreading malicious bullshit while pretending the speaker isn’t lying to their audience. I’m not accusing you of this, in fact I’m explaining it hoping that you’re genuine.
yes I had a feeling actually. But jesus fuck that is depressing, how else should one phrase it then? I try hard to think people are not dumber than decades ago, but it's seriously hard to keep on believing that sometimes. Now I have to jump through hoops just in order to be perceived as neutral? I'm out.
Yeah it’s depressing and stupid, but for what it’s worth, it is much less about you and much more about all the bad faith fucknuggets out there who have spent decades learning to mimic good faith curious people.
I utterly detest the use of "wholeheartedly agree" when people have caveats. It truly goes against the concept of wholeheartedness. It is sufficient to indicate that you agree completely and then be silent. That you don't suggests your caveat has more value and meaning to you than the point you are 'wholeheartedly' agreeing with.
You are either being willfully obtuse or are actively a troll. Either way, we've all already used up more metabolism on you than is worthwhile. If you cannot bother to be informed about something as easy to know as this, and yet spout off multiple replies to defend your position, then you're not here in good faith.
I said I "wholeheartedly agree" with "it being on me" that I haven't seen something. Obviously. How can it not? Is it on you? No. You're being so incredibly stupid and prejudiced that it's hard to fathom. Now fuck off, you're right about wasting metabolism
Fuck off troll.
How right they were to downvote you.
Hi Elon! How is Twitter Co. today? Having a yummy lunch with your coworkers soon?
