Strike 1: upload an AI racist post changing a person’s ethnicity
Strike 2: not even paying her for her work, and taking her only ‘income’ away which is exposure. (Silly of people that work for exposure but that’s another topic.
Strike 3: apologize in the form of a thinly veiled threat of legal action
Strike 4: feign ignorance, by saying you did it because you were overwhelmingly popular on social media, and weren’t paying attention and had no idea you didn’t pay your models. (Don’t lie, you absolutely knew). Pass the blame further by blaming the fans, because apparently someone else had a vested interest in changing the race of one of his models.
Strike 5: try and turn the narrative by making sure everyone knows that the event is in honour of his dead wife, and actually WE should feel sorry for HIM.
Sounds an awful lot like narcissism (what’s the narcissists poem?)
This guy seems to be a bit of a racist scumbag, who not only takes advantage of young models, but is happy to throw those around him under the bus or throwing his lawyers at the problem before dishing out an honest and humble apology.
I’m getting completely sick of inanimate objects and concepts blasting and slamming people. It’s always Country X Slams Y, or building X blasts Y.
What’s wrong with Andrew Bates criticizing Elon Musk. Why do we sum these people up to a point they become shadows behind a larger concept?
The White House is a building filled with people and opinions. It doesn’t blast shit, shut the hell up. No take away from the content here. I’m just fed up with click bait and hearing that whole countries have a unified voice, going around slamming things everytime some asshole says something about another asshole just because the media needs to put a more famous face behind it to give it a bit more oomf.
Apologies for the rant, but I find it all very misleading and rather annoying. The amount of times a country of 300 million people has blasted some dude without consulting with said 300 million people is upsetting.
Having said that, Musk is a cunt. But I say that, not Lemmy. Lol.
