> It's not the same language policing that got the left in trouble until you're worried about being fired from your job for calling it the Gulf of Mexico

Would you really feel confident in your job at X if you called it the Gulf of Mexico?




I don't think anyone feels confident in their job at Twitter because it's run at the whim of a shithead.

An idiot who called a rescue diver a "pedo" because the diver was a hero who rescued trapped children and everyone laughed at the stupid mini-submarine idea.

You'd probably be fired just for bringing that up, and laughing at it again, never mind your language use.
