A high-powered lawyer representing Meta in a copyright case said he was dropping the company as a client due to CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s “descent into toxic masculinity.”

I yearn for the older simpler days when Zuck and Leon were going to fight it out.

eagleneedle.bsky.social•39 days ago

Just toxic.

ksivaraman.bsky.social•39 days ago

The lawyer will now work for Burger King serving burgers and fries? There are no ethical lawyers. They are all variations of Rudy Giuliani. Some are totally shady. Others are less shady. Some get caught with their pants down! Zuckerberg worships Satan. What can go wrong?

jwmckenzie.bsky.social•39 days ago

Massive cultural overreach, imo. Incumbents left and right across the world lost elections because people seem to hate life after COVID. I don’t think people were clamoring for the “Django Unchained” version of Mark Zuckerberg to smite the enemies of America’s most reactionary voices.

joshtpm.bsky.social•39 days ago

That’s 100% my take on this. All the tech ceos are responding to the change of power and that’s understandable if disappointing and mostly only visible to those watching closely. Only MZ is totally going full Hans and Franz like this.

jwmckenzie.bsky.social•39 days ago

Before our eyes, we see a
McLovin-like metamorphosis happening in real time.

Mark Zuckerberg's high-pitched, girly rant is the perfect opportunity for me to drop this little fact everywhere I can.

Zuck the cuck

beachjeep.bsky.social•39 days ago

See Zuck's interview on PodSaveAmerica where he promotes male aggression.

sniffit.bsky.social•39 days ago

What's remarkable is just how much $$$$ in legal fees this guy just volunteered to forgo. He has no doubt spent plenty of time with DJ Saltine, knows what he's like and who he's become and observed the transition. That should speak volumes to how toxic the little shit now is.

emilbriggs.bsky.social•39 days ago

I can understand this sort of thing for young males brought up in certain types of environments. Hopefully many of them will grow out of it as they get older. Why someone who didn't come from that sort of environment gravitates to it in middle age baffles me though.

joshtpm.bsky.social•39 days ago

In a lot of ways it’s just definitional midlife crisis, right? In this case it’s also just a political position.

emilbriggs.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah. Politics aside I know midlife crisis is real but thought it was mainly from disenchantment with ones current life (and realizing that it doesn't get any better from here). Doesn't seem like that should apply to Zuck unless he's actually a pretty broken individual.

Da Mfrr needs to change his shirt then maybe he can get a girl or maybe it is a boy he wants.

irenebaldwinbronx.bsky.social•39 days ago

Maybe my definition of masculinity is too much a product of my blue collar roots, but when I think of masculinity, toxic or otherwise, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't really come to mind . Super surprised he is put in that box now

chrisanthemama.bsky.social•39 days ago

Following you mainly due to your Sam Rockwell reference in your profile.

irenebaldwinbronx.bsky.social•39 days ago

And following you right back because you like Sam Rockwell.

chrisanthemama.bsky.social•39 days ago

Sam Rockwell! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onAfPFWoZYc

He’s a fave.

trw-themongoose.bsky.social•39 days ago

Him and Charlie Kirk. Just weird.

quercus48.bsky.social•39 days ago

What is going on, the cowards act like they are tough guys. That’s not that unusual but, people believe it now.

Mark's returning Facebook back to its roots as a misogynist vessel to judge women...

Once an incel dweeb always an incel dweeb.

Toxic yes, Masculinity, not even close.

'Cialis Masculinism'++

scirocker.bsky.social•39 days ago

A feature of toxic nationalism is the promotion of hyper masculinity and hyper femininity based on common stereotypes. Usually the goal is to render females possessions, caretakers and breeders to produce offspring for the man. Iran, Romania in the 1980s and Germany in the 1930s. Watch The Regime.

chrisanthemama.bsky.social•39 days ago

You'd think toxic masculinity would have a better hairstyle and wardrobe. Dweeb vibes forever.

bsorohan.bsky.social•39 days ago

I think if you have to broadcast your commitment to "masculinity" it probably means you don't have much, or at least feel that way. Like sex, those that talk about it the most generally do it the least.

monsterthews.bsky.social•39 days ago

"Cialis Masculinism"---perfect!

christysweet.bsky.social•39 days ago

Ha Funny Thanks egads we are to be lorded over by flies

frozzbot.bsky.social•39 days ago

Zuck and Rogan can enjoy theirs together.

socraticsandal.bsky.social•39 days ago

They tried to 69 each other, but their pharmaceutical cocktails won't let their cocks pursue tail, so they just flapped their tiny dicks at each other and said, "we're real men now!"

eilrach.bsky.social•39 days ago

I think we need to monitor steroid use. It gives you mood swings, and mood changes such as becoming aggressive, irritable and short tempered with people. See NHS Inform.

A lawyer with a conscience chooses ethics over money! Bravo!

therealjohnblue.bsky.social•39 days ago

Not one of these comments highlighting the literary pizzazz of "Cialis Masculinism!"

mysticlee123.bsky.social•39 days ago

It's almost as if someone was being threatened with the exposure of some dirty laundry.

socraticsandal.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah. The whole idea of Fuckerberg having anything to say about masculinity is hysterial. He's arguably the least masculine man in America. But I guess his magic mirror in the metaverse kept telling him he's the fairest of all, and he believed the A.I. bot stroking his ego.

jaykaydee.bsky.social•39 days ago

a bunch of folks have pointed out - I think correctly - that at this point in the company's arc, Facebook can afford to lose high-quality developer and other technical talent b/c their product is basically monopoly, but they definitely cannot afford to lose high-quality LEGAL talent in that context

nalyd620.bsky.social•39 days ago

Oh definitely, I think they sat around and discussed this before any decisions were made. Like, how can we proceed and can we monetarily take a hit. Can we monetarily take a hit? Things of that nature.
