Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Cthulhu 2020]

The anti vaxxer crowd on Twitter is going 1000000000000% unhinged and are now threatening Dr Hotez with "Nuremburg trials 2.0" or even just straight up putting a prescription for him on bags of ammo.

Hello, FBI?

This is Freeze Peach, doncha know? Thank goodness Spotify gave Rogan all that money to platform actually dangerous idiots like RFK Jr so that his dangerous stupidity and lies can get boosted to hell on Twitter because Elom is a stupid dangerous idiot too.

I like that one guy already showed up to the doctors house to talk shit. Hope the doc is chatting with local cops and has made them aware he may be a victim of swatting.

And every one of those rich idiots is fully fuckin vaccinated, no mater what they fuckin say.

I just can't any more.

I just can't any more.

"Just imagine if the roles were reversed" the fucker asks, as if there isn't an entire wing of politics currently dedicated to making sure that trans people know that they think their identities are invalid. It does make me curious what people who are mad at the word "cis" prefer to be called, though.

As for Musk, I've run out of Surprised Pikachu memes for that jackass long ago.

Apparently Musk takes issue with the origins of the word, which is linked in the comments and confirmed by Musk as the reason why.

I’m okay with this change, given the added context.

Except it's of course nonsense.



But good job falling for your "unbiased" twitter sources once again.

This is the definition. Not the origin. The definition was added to the dictionary, along with the word “twerk”.

Aside from Ernst Burchard using analogous terms around 80 years earlier, there is literally no other term you could even use, my dear cis sister.

[Mekh]

The origins, according to the Tweet Musk agreed with, is in regards to Volkmar Sigusch, who apparently “coined the term”.

I’ll let you do your own reading about him.

I did do my own reading. You read "the Tweet Musk agreed with". Which is why I'm right and you are as usual just utterly wrong.

[Mekh]

Oh no, I went outside of that Tweet to also do my own reading. I don’t take tweets at face value.

Then why are you buying into and defending this nonsense of "cis" being a slur?

The origin that was linked is pure horseshit. The term wasn't made til 1994, by Dana Defosse, the people they are claiming is Volkmar Sigusch. I will go with the one that is actually claiming it, not some moron right wingers that said it was made by a pedophile, because I can guarantee they are projecting there.

No he didn't. I just linked an article from someone actually claiming to be the person that coined it.

Oh for fuck sake. That entire debate is idiotic. That's not how English works, or has ever worked. The "origin" of the word is broadly irrelevant to its current use.



By that logic, you better only use the word "stew" to refer to whore houses from here on out, or a cooking utensil...or hot bath. It's all a bit confusing.

Do you not do Latin in the US?

I'm not sure Winter did high school.

[Poopymonster]

Do you not do Latin in the US?

Mostly in Catholic schools, which are of varying quality and use.

[Belize]

Do you not do Latin in the US?

Not in public schools, those barely do Spanish, with the classes taught by a former gym teach who once drove by an On The Border restaurant

The extra context actually makes it even more stupid.

Dude we barely do English in the US, when I first came to this country I was baffled by how dumb the education system was.

More than that, its clear ppl arent using the term to harass ppl calling them "cissy" amd what not. Like I think ppl can see that saying "cissy" to ppl is harrasment and kind of a slur? Its not different than using the same term for trans ppl

What makes a term a slur is a history of using it for repression and discrimination not just you don't like the sound of it. The term cissy has no history of violence and harassment beside what twitter crazies have made up.

Sounds like an insult more than anything else, if it goes one for a few more weeks then it might get to harassment.

Nazi scientists were instrumental in the success of NASA during the space race, and yet he has no problem working with that organization. Almost like the origin of something doesn't mean shit, even if it wasn't just right-wing propaganda in their continued desperate attempts to link LGBT people with pedophiles.
