One of his favorite book series is The Culture books by Ian M Banks, and it’s about a civilization who’s post-human citizens are genetically modified to be hermaphradites, who can change their their outward appearing gender at will. They also live in post-scarcity communist society that likes to benevolently interfere with less advanced cultures to secretly improve their quality of life.
I am 100% certain at this point that Phony Stark only remembers details about the media he consumes that fit his personal world view.
This one always hurts me because I literally own every book (some in multiple editions) of this series, and I had someone tell me after I showed them it, " So you like Elon Musk right?", and I was like “No? Why would you think that?” and gained cursed knowledge.
And this was when he was still a bit of a liberal darling.
There are multiple Culture novels where the main character switches gender for at least part of the story, and another where the main character is lightly teased for never having done so himself. The Culture series is peak FALGSC.
feel like that isn’t something you should tease someone over
He is literally being teased by his friend/lover, it’s more of a flirting thing.
Edit: Not that I disagree with you in the general sense, just that the context for that specific interaction is important.
Absolute negative levels of reading comprehension
Let’s be honest he didn’t read anything
Fair critique
Yeah, terrible reading comprehension with a massive side of narcissistic personality disorder and laziness.
The man is Joiler Veppers
likes to benevolently interfere with less advanced cultures to secretly improve their quality of life
spoiler
I’ve never actually read any of the Culture books lol
It’s more that the Culture believe they have a moral imperative to combat fascist ideologies and do so through subterfuge that enhances the contradictions of those societies. It is explicitly viewed as morally gray that they interfere at all. When the Culture destabilizes the fascist Azad Empire by delegitimizing how their society chooses leaders, hundreds of people die in the immediate uproar. When the Culture wars with the Idiran Empire, which practices theocratic slavery, 850 billion sentients are killed, and it takes about 500 years for the war to become justifiable to many Culture citizens that lived through it.
Makes sense, I was just shitposting
To be fair, that’s my super quick summary having only read the first book, and half of the second, out of ten books, so I still have a lot more to read.
We should give them games with nothing but white male (human) characters. Every single character. No more elves. No more orks. No goblins. No zombies. No dragons. No ghosts. Just white men. All white men.
And if they utter a single word of protest we tie them to anvils and throw them in the ocean.
Counter-point: we should give them nothing, then tie them to anvils and throw them into the ocean.
Anvils are probably expensive as hell, just give them cement shoes.
Mfw when the reactionary has no media literacy
You’re a grown man and CEO of 3 multi billion dollar companies why the fuck are you talking to skidoo dealership owners about what video games you like to play Jesus
He wants attention from nerds and chuds. He really wants to be the Nerd King or whatever, so he wastes his time and money with this shit. When Bernie Sanders was popular (2015 - 2018), Elon used to pretend he was a socialist (what he meant was that he was a social democrat) and that he supported Basic Income and LGBTQ+ rights, but behind the scenes he was still a conservative lib that gave money and support to people like Obama, Hillary Dlinton and Biden.
I believe Elon thinks being a chud/republican is popular now and counter-culture, so now he changed all his opinions to be compatible with those people and be popular with these people. Elon is a very shallow person with basically no real morals or ideology besides making money and being popular, that’s why he refuses to say bad things about China and the Chinese goverment.
His fellow 50+ divorced dads googling “elden ring” and “what does based mean?” to fit in with the groyper crowd.
This fucking puke stain of a human
Whenever people ask me what I think about Elon musk I say the fact that this guy is the richest person on earth tells you everything you need to know about the depraved abomination of a society we have built. Every time I think about it I want to fire myself into the sun
every time I think about it I want to fire Elon into the sun
Being a CEO must be pretty easy if he has all this time to demand to be pandered to.
Dude is 53 years old grow the fuck up it’s embarrassing
Like go spend time with your kids what are you doing
Considering he’s apparently a piece of shit parent in general (outside of the neglect), I honestly think the less time those kids spend around him, the better.
Honestly giving some of them Wi-fi password ass names alone should be considered child abuse if you ask me.
It would be in Iceland, a majority white country with a homogeneous culture aka his dumb racist dream
I never want to hear one of the normies on 4chan brag about how edgy he is. Bro, YOU’RE the mainstream. Hell, you always have been.
his kids don’t deserve to be subjected to his presence
The most divorced man in history.
i hope that’ll be in the books centuries from now
I hope he’s forgotten by then
The genital option in cyberpunk was so silly. Aside from sexualising trans people while locking pronouns to voices, why no t-dick? Why no penis but no testicles (post orchie)? Why no robot penis or vagina? Why not both or nothing there like a Ken doll?
maam this is a wendys
I don’t want to believe it, but, well, any body remember how trans and gay porn tends to be searched more heavily in red states? What if it isn’t that he’s illiterate, but rather that Elon really relates to this media not at all on accident, and deals with his feelings about himself by being a bigoted, ultra-divorced shit bag? Someone I know a little more personally and didn’t talk to for a few years ended up transitioning both from female to male and non-nazi to Nazi in those few short years, so it wouldn’t be the first time, I guess.
Wait they became trans and a Nazi concurrently?
Yeah. I can’t say I ever understood it, but that’s right.
Basically, I knew them from a webforum in the oughts and early tens, and we reconnected just before the pandemic hit. I noticed a lot of Jewish merchant memes, which kind of surprised me from the person I knew they used to be. The more I watched, listened, and followed up, the more they leaned into the whole “I’m an ironic Nazi” bit. Of course, we all know that there’s no such thing as ironic Nazis. I’ve always fantasized about bullying fascists IRL, so I took it as a chance to learn more about the enemy, and I would say that I benefitted greatly from that experience.
Share your knowledge, please.
It’s nothing new these days. Basically, it taught me about the YouTube/podcast/male-coded media to Nazi pipeline. Basically, every time I started to defuse their bullshit, they’d just share a video at me by some rightoid influencer. It also taught me about the whole “ironic Nazi” thing. Probably the biggest thing I got out of it was being able to quickly pick up on the tells of nazi-coded speech. Stuff like hiding behind ‘jokes’, hiding your power level, etc. I find it a little difficult to convey, I guess it’s a little like the difference between reading about the planets and seeing them through a telescope (but a lot less beautiful). It just isn’t the same, and not matter how much reading you do, it’s not going to really prepare you to actually experience it.
It happens, unfortunately.
He’s also basically directly saying that the experiences of women and trans folks cannot be art, which is extremely telling and also extremely unsurprising that he would think that.
“Did you hear that, gamers? They just called ALL OF US sjws! If they want me to be reverse racismt, I’ll just start hating white people if it makes them so happy!”
How does diablo lore favor women?
art is when heteronormative fanservice
Yeah, we get it, Elon. You don’t like “entartete Kunst”.
