Elon f*cks Twitter

[Bartholomew Gallacher]

The increasingly discriminatory X (Twitter) now considers the term “cisgender” a slur. Owner Elon Musk posted last June, to the delight of his bigoted brigade of blue-check sycophants, that “‘cis’ or ‘cisgender’ are considered slurs on this platform.” On Tuesday, X made good on the regressive provocateur’s stance and reportedly began posting an official warning that the LGBTQ-inclusive terms could result in a ban from the platform. Not that you’d miss much.

TechCrunch reported on Tuesday that trying to publish a post using the terms “cisgender” or “cis” in the X mobile app will pop up a full-screen warning reading, “This post contains language that may be considered a slur by X and could be used in a harmful manner in violation of our rules.” It then gives you the choice of continuing to publish the post or conforming to the backward views of the worst of us and deleting it.

Of course, neither form of the term cisgender is a slur.

Im not sure how you balance that against his stated stance of "free speech trumps everything", including national laws against hate speech.

I use NextDNS for ad blocking and added all the URLs to the blocklist months ago.

It was a good decision.

Are they saying that we can effectively stop browsing the Pronhub and start posting on the service formerly known as Twitter instead?

It's been a week. Is Twitter flooded with trans porn yet? If not, what's the holdup?

the upcoming change is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content.

Why Elon?

Why would they be afraid to like it? Are they afraid to stand up for what the believe? Are they cowards? Why would they not like it if they believe it's something good? What possible reason would they have to be afraid if they truly believe in these great pieces of content?
