AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor comments on Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash

First: it's a brand, not a person. A brand can't be offended, because, as previously stated, it's NOT a person with feelings.

Second: People are just using a name because they are expressing their thoughts about what microslop has become. Doing what they did is basically telling the world they are 5 years old

Third: Look for a certain Streisand woman, name: Barbra.

Fourth: Please, don't be a shill. It's a corpo, you don't need to defend them, even you are on their payroll. They will survive without your defense.

First: I'm not saying not to use Microslop. I'm saying to not go to their place(s) and insult them there. If you do, don't bitch when they dropkick you out.

Second: I agree.

Third: You misspelled her name... How did you manage to do that?

Fourth: Don't be an ass. I'm not a shill and I'm not on their payroll. Just because I say that you shouldn't go to their property, insult them, and expect them to be fine and dandy with it, doesn't make me a shill. I'm not going to be part of your groupthink/circlejerk. I'll use Microslop myself but not on their property.

Again, it's not a person. It can't be offended. I'm not insulting a worker from Microslop if I say Microslop. Or is the CEO having a thin skin issue with this?

Third: You misspelled her name… How did you manage to do that?

Did I? https://releases.barbrastreisand.com/ https://releases.barbrastreisand.com/images/thesecretoflife.jpg I guess she did too? Since she calls herself like that even on her album covers?

Fourth: Don’t be an ass. I’m not a shill and I’m not on their payroll.

I'm not insulting "them" but IT. I'm insulting IT, as in a thing, called microslop. Which, as I said, is not a person and doesn't have any feelings. If they can't stand critics about what they are doing (which is the reason why they are being called microslop), then they should stop being a business. Or are we going to start saying that we shall not insult a company "or else"?

You keep focusing on "a person". I don't walk into Grease Monkey or Artic Circle and start insulting. I use Arsenic Circle off the premises.

Heh. I guess I'm more used to Barbara and never really listened to Barbra's music.

I'm saying that if you insult a company on their property then don't bitch if they kick you out. Just because you are not insulting a specific person doesn't mean that they have to allow you to behave badly.

Microslop is behaving in a way that hurts customers. I'd say it's extremely anticonsummer. They are simply being called "microslop". It's like saying "Nintendon't" when you refer to their famous anticonsummer practices. People are not going to microslop discord to call them genocide enablers (which they are) or other stuff. Just microslop because, lately, they only produce slop (proof: windows 11, to name a single one among the lot).

Heh. I guess I’m more used to Barbara and never really listened to Barbra’s music.

Happens. I always saw Barbra (and thought it was a weird name).

I’m saying that if you insult a company on their property then don’t bitch if they kick you out. Just because you are not insulting a specific person doesn’t mean that they have to allow you to behave badly.

The fact is people are not bitching about being kicked out, but laughing about how dumb they are painting themselves over a silly thing that could have died really soon if they just let it be.
