Awwww, if there is ever a time here at Twitchy when we need something to write about (and believe it or not, things can get slow when President Sippy Cup calls a lid at 9 a.m.), we can always go to Elon Musk’s timeline and find something to write about.
And sometimes it’s GOLDEN.
Like this take on pronouns:
Pronouns are virtue-signaling, so inevitably, as with all virtue-signaling, they will be used as a shield by bad humans
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 16, 2023
What Elon said.
‘Bad humans’ use pronouns as a way to play superior and if you don’t acknowledge then YOU’RE THE OPPRESSOR.
He continued.
In any event, good manners require using the person’s name, not their pronoun, when referring to them
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 16, 2023
Read that again.
… good manners require using the person’s name, not their pronoun…
Now you will be mercilessly attacked and labeled as a bigoted transphobe. Thank you for speaking out.

Interestingly enough, we’re not seeing that. Hey, we had the same first thought, ‘OH boy, here comes the meltdown,’ but nope. Maybe people are starting to figure it out?
Maybe?
Heh.
It’s concerning that so many people and businesses are embracing this movement. They are choosing to enforce people to use these pronouns, which enables the ones who are virtue-signaling.

So many use them to defend against criticism for not using them. Ridiculous. Did we forget about the Prefix all of a sudden? Serves the same function.
— Raytional ® (@Raytional) April 16, 2023
Prefix.
Good point.
They’re not only used as shields, they’re used as cudgels.

It’s all about money!

As most things are.
I remember when #Pronouns were words that took the place of nouns. Used to avoid repeating the nouns that they refer to.

Careful, they’ll claim grammar is oppressive, racist, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic or whatever phobic they’re pushing today.
