Call me Lenny/Leni

It’s nice to meet all you. I am she/her, can speak Toki Pona and English (non-natively), and locatable on Reddit as MozartWasARed. The links at https://discord.gg/sEuSSDz6TQ and https://www.deviantart.com/triagonal/art/My-copyright-policy-and-the-impact-it-extends-into-906668443 are pertinent to me.

  • Debunked in the sense that, one, what the perception was did not match his intention, and two, a lot of the footage exaggerated his gesture anyways. I don’t rule out that it was reckless and that people are right to feel offended, just that we can’t speak for another person’s intent.

    Something that’s worth noting (or which I don’t see a lot of people talking about) is the fact that the salute, historically, was done with your arm stretched out in front of you, not to the side like in the photograph of him. My style is to analyze things closely and give constructive critique (which is why, when someone mentioned he also shared antisemitic conspiracy theories, I gave some scolding words about Musk and did not continue the same “meh” reaction).

    I remember when I was little and Pokémon came out with the character Registeel and the sprite had to be changed because the pose they chose for the creature just happened to resemble a Nazi salute. It was probably far less likely to be intentional in their case, but it actually looked more like the salute… and then it was memed into oblivion. Musk’s salute in the picture, though technically arguable to be the salute (and it’s possible more to his intentions might come to light), was more like the Team Rocket pose.














  • It is doxxing going by the definition laid out in the TOS. And it would be in most over places, because it’s still locally undisclosed personal information. As has been discovered by a rogue admin, some of what you say I have disclosed in fact hasn’t been disclosed, some not anywhere. When you look up my name, for example, what do you find? Just the slander your likes have been spreading everywhere.

    You aren’t actually concerned about doxxing, you want this post to get deleted

    Spoken like someone who came storming in not caring about the TOS. I strive to go by the TOS wherever I go, which might be why, aside from DA, the only places I’ve been given the boot from (out of the thousands of places I’m in) are those where it’s stated that who is banned is up to unspoken rules and opinions admins might have. And even these I respect, and I don’t go anywhere that isn’t my business.

    When it comes to how to react, admins know better. Critical thinkers know better. Your puppets, be them hands-on or inspired, don’t. There lies the difference. I know my people. It doesn’t help peoples’ cases when they admit to not looking into it all before reacting. Your closing argument, as well as having a deceptive premise, just screams “I don’t care that the people in charge made this place with their own hands, I’m going to defy them”, which you did by using a serious center as a means to incite a reaction. So you’re one to talk (especially about boundaries).
