Yes we all know Elon is not the brightest bulb whatsoever but this is just beyond insulting towards women and poc in the gaming industry. And at 66K likes, really? Sexism and racism towards white men is about the smallest problem you could find here. Majority of game developers ARE white men, partially because of how toxic the environment is towards people who are NOT white men.
Both the gaming industry and gaming culture is rife with sexism and harassment towards women and poc. Blizzard and Riot are hugely successful gaming companies and they are still rotted with sexual harassment and bullying, even to the point that a female Blizzard employee killed herself from it. Gamergate set women in gaming back even further and we can still see its toxic effects today. I personally face regular sexist harassment in games just for using my voice and I see and hear people using sexist racist slurs on the daily in games, 99% of it is from men.
I could bring up way more examples but I don’t think I have to here, we all know. I just wanted to vent honestly, I’m beyond sick of this mindset that white men are the oppressed victims when they generally are the oppressors of the gaming community.
F Elon and everyone with this delusional mindset.
Did you expect a guy who was given the privilege to get top of the line education thanks to his daddy’s emerald mine in Zambia and then bought fresh thinking companies before tacking his name onto the end product and taking the credit *wouldn’t* have shitty views?
Twitter is a waste of time and energy, elon even more so. Don’t use that garbage platform any more tbh.
Please don’t forget that twitter is so overrun with bots that most likely 65k of those likes were bought because anyone else with the will to keep their braincells has blocked him
Girlie.. the dude posted about black people being “dumber” than other races, he’s an open anti-semite, he boosted an anti gay “documentary” ON THE FIRST DAY OF PRIDE MONTH and he got disowned by his trans daughter for being a POS transphobe..
You REALLY shouldn’t care about his stupidity
Can we send this mf to Mars already
Literally all the money and privilege in the world, and this is who he chooses to be as a person.
I stopped using Twitter the day he bought it. I’ll never own a Tesla. My “give a fuck” ran out a long time ago on anything he opens his sexist, racist elitist mouth about.
I mean, he’s a raging racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, bigoted antisemite who made his billions ripping ideas out from under other people and running away with their companies, all paid for by Apartheid blood emeralds. Did you really expect intelligent discourse?
The guy thinks he’s Tesla reborn, when he’s actually Edison bought off Wish.
Elon bought Twitter, I wouldn’t be surprised if his like counts are just tripled by engineers so he stops bothering them.
I mean that shitstain is divorce personified and basically a nazi at this point so I’m not surprised. Still disgusting though of course.
I wonder if there’s grass Elon can touch in his little billionaire compoundÂ
The most divorced man in the world
One thing is really funny, see, these are the type of people to say stuff like “You wouldn’t survive an hour in a CoD lobby” with the intention of mocking somebody for being too sensitive or whatever. And yet, they think straight white men get bullied and excluded in the gaming industry of all places? Don’t get me wrong, Elon, but you wouldn’t survive an hour in a CoD lobby, you crybaby
Elon took over twitter and renamed it X to be a haven for right wing nut jobs. Would you be surprised if this was truth social? because that’s basically what it is now.
Every big game company is owned by a white male dude. They say we play victim card lmao.
The original tweet in that quote chain is by the quartering, a guy who pisses in his basement while making YouTube videos ranting about the woke agenda.
These people’s opinions are not worth caring about.
If it makes you feel better. She got ate by leopards and realized that yes, they hate all women, her included.
i was around for gamergate the first time (it contributed to me leaving the industry behind), and i’m sad thinking about how the bigger names attached to it were just adam baldwin and the like, but now it’s one of the richest men in the world and he owns twitter.
but it’s good to remember elon has many even dumber, more dangerous opinions, so this isn’t new, and he’s just one guy. they’re not going to win this time. within the industry itself, they don’t have any real support (which wasn’t the case ten years ago)
I’m really, really hoping this is fake. Or that his Tweets…Xweets? are autogenerated by AI.
Just wanna shout:
# Reverse racism/sexism does not exist.
…because racism/sexism is a systemic defect – not any single action in isolation.
When you say a woman should toughen up/is too sensitive, you invoked a language with a history spanning centuries of oppression that reduces them into “emotional beings that can’t be trusted with any decision-making”.
When you didn’t get hired due to affirmative action, or god forbid you get one less cis-straight white man in the MC cast, it’s just society trying to undo that same centuries of lost opportunity for other race/gender/etc to be represented economically or in art. You can’t hard work your way out of starting at level 1 with a club when everyone else start at 15 with decent gears.
Awh yes, reverse sexism 🙄🙄
He’s not delusional, he’s literally pushing white nationalism. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
Well, now that Elon said this, I’ve got an incredible urge to antagonize white, straight, cis male gamers, just to spite him.
to me gamer gate was a mess for both sides of the battle, I hope there isn’t another one soon
There’s no such thing as being racist towards a white person or being sexist towards a man, women and BIPOC don’t have the social power needed to do that. Even if I straight up said “I hate all men” it still wouldn’t be sexist, purely because I don’t have enough social power to actually make their life worse or to coerce them or anything like this.
