I would be very interested in a plot graph mapping out the number of instances of transphobic rhetoric coming from Elon from before and after Grimes left him for Chelsea Manning.

[–] EnbyJesus@slrpnk.net 50 points 1 year ago

Or his trans daughter changing her last name and basically telling him to go to hell.

[–] EnbyJesus@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or his trans daughter changing her last name and disowning him. How shitty of a dad do you have to be for your kid to turn down that kind of inheritance?

That's great grandma, now let's get you to the bottom of the ocean. (sadly not original content)

I will never understand how the word cis or cisgender is a slur. If your a cisgender then you are literally a cisgender. I am a cisgender male, plane and simple

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

They consider themselves the "default" aka the only ones who are not "the others" and thus not wrong about everything up to and including existing.

They are also snowflakes who can't cope with their bigoted worldview being questioned in any way without playing the innocent martyr, so anything that implies that their perspective isn't the only legitimate one is considered viciously evil.

I take pride in Elon Musk thinking my existence is a slur.

We need to come up with a slur for billionaires...

[–] Milksteaks@midwest.social 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just call them oligarchs, which already has a negative connotation

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

And also is completely accurate. Mainstream media, mainstream politicians and others who are members of the big club want you to think that only Eastern Europe and parts of Asia (not the parts they have lucrative business with) are mostly controlled by a few rich people.

The reality is that the US has more than a third of the world's billionaires in spite of having only 5% of the population and those billionaires and the rest of the. 1% ABSOLUTELY are oligarchs that control the country much more than any elected officials.

Billionaire is already a slur.

No one makes that much money without screwing over and abusing other people. There are no ethical billionaires.

It's a good thing free speech is legal on Twitter, huh, Elon?

[–] superpop@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 year ago

sweet, now I have a slur for my dad when he calls me a faggot

[–] Iwasondigg@lemmy.one 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Mr. "Free speech absolutist" over here. LMFAO

Nah, its not a slur until the kids on xbox live start using it

But they won't. Calling someone cis as an insult online doesnt have the same impact

[–] Teon@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Using Cis when using voice will always be confused with Sis, as in sister. That's gonna sound very interesting as a non-insult.

Big words coming from the wing nut who fucked over his “platform”.

Latin is hate speech :((((

When I first saw this tweet days ago I thought it was a fake tweet. Just realized it was real.

Why is this asshole in charge of getting himself dressed in the morning? Not because he's incompetent (he is), but because he's clearly malevolent.

Elon is a fuck nugget.

[–] Ignacio@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In my country (Spain) there is an organization called "Centre for Sociological Research", which in Spanish it's called "Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas" (best known as CIS).

So, is that name also a slur, according to the free speech absolutist? What about politicians and journalists who talk about its surveys?

[–] sadakos_left_nut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Elon is too busy being angry at trans people to see all this nuance you’re just throwing out there. You think he has time to consider what people are saying or that other people have thoughts and feelings?

Poor Lord Farq-I mean Elon.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 10 points 1 year ago

No, it's not free speech until we're entirely unable to avoid hearing it, ~~we~~ bots stop trying to suppress his speech by calling him an elongated muskrat, and he freely demands payment to be seen by our own subscribers

Someone here doesn't understand free speech... But only he has a billion dollars, and here in America, our courts discovered that money is actually free speech
