Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Elon Musk thinks it’s okay to post a picture of someone in the bathroom without that person’s consent–as long as the person is transgender.

You should not be taking pictures in women's bathrooms. Any moron would know this.

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 103 points 3 months ago (3 children)

You shouldn't be taking pictures in any bathrooms

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

. . . unless it's in your own private bathroom at home, which could be weird. But, who are we to judge? You do you, bue.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes the pictures are for your doctor.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 18 points 3 months ago

Hey it's me ur doctor

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

I once had to take a picture of a busted pipe in the bathroom while working for Amazon so that somebody would get around to at least turning the fucking water off. But I guess that's a notably different factor.

[–] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Exhibitionism is a thing

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

And here come the "bUt wHaT aBoUt [insert specific situation not remotely related to the issue at hand]????????"

Nuance, guys. We all know there are certain specific situations that necessitate a photo in the restroom. Those situations are not at all relevant here.

[–] homura1650@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Still don't do that in a public bathroom. Someone else may walk in.

Take your SFW selfies somewhere else.

[–] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Or just stop when anyone else walks in?

Its weird these people are harassing people in bathrooms and demanding government provide genital inspections at all bathrooms. Somebody should do something about all these insane republicans.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think the problem is that they imagine bearded women getting harassed and genital checked, and don't realise that they and their children and whoever might also have to show their genitals.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They'll volunteer to inspect childrens' genitals.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

Only after theirs and their childrens are inspected.

[–] compostgoblin@piefed.blahaj.zone 46 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn’t taking pictures of someone in the bathroom the exact kind of creepy behavior they’re always baselessly accusing trans women of? Always projection with these disgusting fucks.

It must be strange to be fiscally the richest man in the world, but still have over half the population of the world think you're a douchebag and a dork.

Like, if this guy ever went to his high school reunion, most of people he once looked up to would straight up think he's trash.

You really have to fuck up a lot - and often - to be this disliked by such a huge percentage of the world. These comical villain billionaires need to be brought down.

[–] uberfreeza@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Don't call him a dork. Whale penises are provide much more to the biosphere than that below-the-barrel scum.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It really takes a special kind of (lack of) talent to manage to be such a colossal loser while being the wealthiest man alive.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If money can buy fame etc and he clearly has plenty, perhaps it's a lack of caring about it. Would seem consistent with his behavior overall in the last couple of decades.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

For the three people in the back that needed a reminder that musk is not a human but a piece of shit in a rotten tomato shell full of rancid wastewater.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

All of this because his oldest child hates him. Of course they would, Muskrat - cause you suck.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 14 points 3 months ago

his sexual frustration probably came from his botched penis surgery, mangling in, making him pretty much who he despises.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

If I pulled that shit in a bathroom as a trans woman I'd expect to be given the full Matthew Shepherd

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Post pics of Elon pooping as though he doesn’t want his picture taken. C’mon yall, help a brotha out & make this picture happen. Then we can all say, “That guy is full of s—t!”

Ha, good. I can't take into account every state, but in mine https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/2021/cite/481.02

Let him and xtwitter give all the legal advice/help.... I'm going to go make some popcorn...

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The aid he's giving is financial for legal help

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Damnit. Is it too much to ask for him to fuck up so bad he finally gets locked up.

Sexual predators helping sexual predators was the theme of 2025.
