tumblr ceo is having a transphobic meltdown
(hexbear.net)
completely nuking like a dozen trans women's accounts after tumblr user predstrogen got banned so hard every single image she ever posted got deleted (which isn't how tumblr bans work), and claiming the og ban was because of threats towards him. the one threat he could point to was this
he said tumblr would work with the fbi to investigate this shit
link to his statement. he originally misgendered her, then corrected himself to degender her, then finally used corrected himself to use her actual pronouns
Bizarre that he’s even publicly engaging other users in this way. Like, if you’re the CEO, it’s maybe not the best idea to be getting into arguments, shitposting, telling the world your shitty opinions, etc.
Were CEOs trying to be “personal” with their customers? Or did this only occur after social media became the primary way of communication. Usually these people would just hire a PR agent and ghost write their statements.
They probably think that they are so endearing that can best handle these things themselves. It’s just a symptom of inflated ego
That is literally what ceos do now. They've realised golf sucks or something
