I’ve read a lot of bad takes in the gaming press over the years, but “fieldwork isn’t real labour” has got to be among the worst. Just absolute bluecheck posterbrain horseshit.

Oh boy.

Okay, Guardian. I'm not going to do a 15 paragraph rant about this, because I have no life and no money and even I have better things to do than talk about this.

But.

It seems to me that the people who decided years ago that Twitter was indispensable to them, who have paid repeatedly to use it, who live there like trolls under bridges to retweet brunch bitchiness and do zinger hot takes that NO ONE OUTSIDE OF TWITTER (and maybe Tumblr) cares about - namely, corporate media softball journalists - have no right now to throw a tantrum when the comic book villain who owns the platform turns his Kryptonite against you.

You know who he is. You are THERE. You report on it ad nauseam. You have watched his Racist Dickhead Majesty turn the thing into a wasteland from day one, and yet

YOU STILL PAY HIM TO USE IT.

I don't. I stopped using it when he took over. Because you quit terrible things, run by terrible people. Because you don't want to be associated with, or support, the terribleness. I did that.

You won't. You stayed in the house, after you watched him set it on fire. You get burned by it now, and you think you're HEROES for not fleeing? Are you fuxking kidding me?

Stop. Using. Twitter. And stop giving Elon Musk free publicity by reporting on every stupid thing he does. And if you won't, don't you dare act shocked when all your enabling allows him to turn on you.

You sound like everyone at CNN after Trump won. Jesus Christ. Have an ounce of self-awareness.

Really fed up with Twitter bluechecks who think they can get away with three-word bios like "Teller of stories" or "I'm that guy." Dude, you're not famous; you just got an Internet company to verify that you exist. Nobody outside of digital media knows who the fuck you are.

This is what happens when you give nwords their flowers. They go find the only nword shorter than them and bully him. #JermaineDupri doesn't deserve to have his pain strummed like this publicly by a man that gets beat up by his girlfriends. #shadmoss is out of pocket, but Jermain prolly put him up to it to get #JanetJackson to reminiscing. #Bluechecks don't do anything organically! #thevitaminq #ShadeLassAlwaze https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6H5RaDuXR/?utm_medium=tumblr
