The gothy, vampy, just wants a little respect Elon. Waving around a chainsaw, desperately repeating his flat jokes so we’ll finally get it—and get him—trying to make ‘Dark MAGA’ a thing. (That little war cry he uttered was hella kewt, not gonna lie.) https://lokiexcelsiorsmith.substack.com/p/paper-tigers?r=fd4u4
I wholly agree with the sentiment, but the whole post is evil. You can mask the deadname, but the misgendering is still there. Elon Musk is a foul, evil man, and no amount of masking his insults can change that.
This reads very much like people who gleefully body shame, and then are called out, to be like "so you support xyz?" No bitch, but the other people with these traits know you're an unsafe person so not that down (:
It's a criticism of Elon for using it just as much as a criticism for other people gleefully posting it. The message comes across the same without the deadname in the tweet. How you could possibly think this is a defence of Elon is genuinely concerning.
The atrocity Elon commit was calling a trans person by their deadname. Other trans people wanting to remove the deadname from the post doesn't deviate the focus from the shitty thing he did.
Actually protecting victim's of transphobia's right to not have their deadname revealled is way better than just pointing at a screenshot and saying "haha elon did a bad thing (i do not actually care about the trans person he violated i just want to point out he did a bad thing)"
Looks like it. A couple of people took the time to explain "we can censor out the deadname and still criticize Elon for using it". That helped a bunch.
I was about to say "I included a picture" then realized I forgot the alt text. My bad there.
The picture is a meme where a character titled 'Weird Nerd' is leaping infront of a character titled 'Elon Musk' to take a bullet for them. A third figure is aiming a gun titled 'Valid Criticism' at them.
My point though is people are already making the valid criticism of Musk that he's deadnaming his child. Why block that valid criticism by trying to hide it?
In my analogy, the OP is being a Weird Nerd defending Musk from valid critisism, exactly as per the meme I referenced.
My counter-question would be "how am I ordering people to deadname by criticising Musk for doing that"? That's what people here are reacting to, and I don't see it.
Third, we must use the exact words of the abhorrent to show what they are. Just like we have to keep THAT word in the printing of the Dred Scott decision - we JAVE GIT to show the future generations what we used to be. They have to know ALL of the horrible.
The depth of dishonor of the current POTUS, VP and minions has no bottom. A stain on their honor, their families, their party, their communities and our nation. What does it say about us that we elected a convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships. sad!
It is a learning curve. I know an extended family member who transitioned and chose to walk away. Their choice. Nowadays, I still see elders using the deadname. It feels weird. Some can't change by conviction and habit. Others, by mental decline. Nonetheless, it feels weird. 1st group is harder.
flesh of my flesh
my blood and bone
someone I made
that I don't own
I wish someone had taught em that one
being a parent does not mean you get to choose
who that child becomes
being a parent means you get to love that child
no matter who they become ....
He’s posted that sentiment multiple times before and every time I saw a screenshot or heard it quoted, people took care to redact her deadname. For some reason, everyone is just broadcasting his unaltered bile this time.
There's a long history of parents treating their kids as "dead," because they're thriving as a result of choices the parent disapproved of. In every case, the parent is toxic and wallows in a cesspool of spite.
I think she's completely correct about him. He bought sex selective IVF and sees her as a defective product rather than a person. And that's pretty sick
She was "supposed" to keep impregnating people so dad could have his dream of conquering the entire human race through spreading his genes. That's what all his sons are for, to him. And sadly, this isn't a joke.

The point is the atrocity Elon committed.
Don't be one of Musk's weird nerds...
Also, we can both not deadname Vivian and call out Elon’s atrocities.
Okay. I don't follow your logic, but I apologize for the confusion this has caused you.
That helped a lot, unlike the bunch of people reacted by just lashing out.

Redacting the name he used does nothing to lessen Elon's atrocity as you put it and everything to protect the victim of it.
I WOKE up and get this Garbitch.
Just revolting.
First, and most practically, I'm moderately sure Vivian has heard this shit from him before. We aren't likely to be opening any wounds.
Second, it is important we use axacr quotes with this asshole. We shouldn't soften him cruelty or amorality.

His cisgender kids hate his guts.
He is like a 4channer who used Reddit instead
Vivian is a much nicer name
I’ve never understood it
Nor do I want to understand
