"When Elon Musk shows up with a 6 inch swastika neck tattoo the headlines are going to say 'Musk Sparks Speculation With New Look; Critics Say It Signals Problematic Beliefs.'"

Content warning USpol, gamergate, elon musk
"It all comes back to a model that was perfected with something called Gamergate…even amid an incredibly obvious misogynistic harassment campaign, the media covered it as a debate between these two sides, the people saying it's a harassment campaign, which it was, and the ethics in gaming people.
