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 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] AlexisLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

IIRC he actually did twat some vaguely transphobic things soon after that.

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 3 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] Iwasondigg@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Mr. "Free speech absolutist" over here. LMFAO

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

[–] Milksteaks@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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.

He has some similarities to the libertarian morons

[–] Doll_Tow_Jet-ski@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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 3 points 2 years ago (1 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?

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

I think the free speech absolutist is full of bullshit, and there has to be ways to troll him, like redditors did with spez.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

He's already DDOSing himself. What more could we do?

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Silencing the speech of a bunch of sociologists is probably a bonus for him

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Latin is hate speech :((((

[–] activator90@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago

I see nothing wrong with that

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn cisgenders, cissing around this damn thread. One tried to cis me out of my gender.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

It's okay for me to call myself cisgender, because I've reclaimed the slur

[–] ProfessorGrizzly@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Wait a second, this was posted a month ago and has no engagement but I'm seeing it here now?

[–] superpop@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] bappity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[–] sirtwinklebottom@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Elon is a fuck nugget.
