louis rossmann, transphobia
RE: https://tech.lgbt/@ShadowJonathan/117263262684938884
I'm so glad we finally have proof of him openly being transphobic, that being the way he refers to the representative who is a trans woman by the way (he misgendered her) and this comment.
I'll say this before everything else I'll say: I heavily support right to repair, believe me, I want our electronics and our vehicles to be repairable by anyone who is able to do so, and I also heavily support people having rights over the things they own (honestly, him calling us "consumers" is already such a capitalist thing to do).
There were already signs of his views before:
I watched many of his videos thinking he was a good guy and, while he supports a good cause, it's bad that he does all while not really supporting minorities, because right to repair and right to own should be for EVERYONE, no one excluded.
Another thing is: the Clippy movement for change in tech is so stupid. The gist of it is: if Microsoft could've stolen your data in the 90s, they would've definitely done it. Read this post by @alexia about it: https://cyrneko.eu/clippy.html
I honestly think he should either apologise, or be de-platformed, though I don't think any of these two will happen because this controversy isn't really talked about a lot outside of the fediverse, so if you have more information or bad things that Louis did, share them all here: let's make this a Rossmann exposal thread xD
Finally, if I got anything wrong, please share it here and I'll do my best to verify them against my post. And if there's anything I can't fit here, look below :3
Oh, right, new school year. University students: the secret to success is GO THE FUCK TO BED, GO THE FUCK TO CLASS, DO YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK and to get HELP AND SUPPORT from people who want you to succeed if you find yourself neglecting any of these, and there are many more such people than you may think!
LTAS episode 2 is out! this week we're watching Once, the 2007 oscar-winning romantic musical.
