He has tried to scrub this image from the Internet. Time to start spreading it far and wide!

I'm all about insulting pathetic losers like him, but the content of this picture isn't what makes him a loser. Gutting Twitter, releasing that horrible car and being a sexual abuser are what make him a loser.

No offense to other guys with long hair who wear leather.

Don't forget he deadnames this own child

Or who like the french flag uh?

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

No no, clearly he's a loser for liking the french flag too

The context of this picture if I recall, is that it was a costume for a Halloween party... which if true completely removes the cringe factor of the outfit, as youre supposed to wear silly costumes for that. If Elon had an ounce of social acuity he would just own it.

And even if its not a Halloween costume, I dont get the hate for someone having fun dressing up. There are a billion other reasons, as you mentioned, to hate him.

yea the photo foes kind of hard actually, such a shame that he is the scum of earth

The thing is that he's a poser who sold out. The other guys with long hair and leather ought to feel like this dude is a shmuck who liked the aesthetic but never got the soul.

IDK. If he had stayed like this the world would probably be a better place.

Bold photoshoot for someone that guillotineable

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

This is just as cringe as that picture of him wearing that Samurai armor that he uses as a profile picture. He just doesn't know it yet.

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

what even is the context of this image lmao

Sorry, bit out of the loop. Why did he try to scrub it from the internet again? Just because he looks "weird" , compared to what he looks like now?

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

His character was a Malkavian, right?

[–] shani66@ani.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know he's going to be ventrue

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 2 months ago

I don’t think he’d be satisfied being a generic aristo. Not dangerously edgy enough.

I call this visual artistry, “The Birth of X.”

If you're going to start a hashtag, you should probably look up how to spell "poseur" first.

Thanks be to you, Pronouncy McColloquial, keeper of all standards of how slang works, ally to the pedant.

You'd know, that's why I was thanking you. While you're out here fixing the internet, you should stop by urban dictionary and let them know they're making your work harder than it needs to be.
