This is like going to someone's place and loudly and constantly insulting them. Would you put up with it if people were doing that to you? You don't have to be a Microsoft fan to find that kind of behavior unacceptable. Just because it's online doesn't mean that it's acceptable.
I don't know if I was actively and consistently stealing people's data; shitting out broken software that workers will be forced to use and all but telling people to go fuck themselves when they complain. I'd be expecting a lot more then insults.
That doesn't mean that they have to tolerate it on their property. People (certainly here) seem to be expect that they can go anywhere and say anything and everyone is supposed to just take it. Companies are allowed to ban you unless it violates an applicable law and the First Amendment (in the USA) is for protection from the government, not a private business. If I talk trash about Walmart in one of their stores they can have me leave. I don't have some special protection.
Only about 4-5% of the world lives in the U.S., I am not one of them. Stop acting like a shill.
4.20%. I was giving an example. I'm not jumping on the hate train to try to placate fanatics who obviously think that anything goes when they don't like something. I don't like or trust Microsoft (and have bad-mouthed them many times) but I will not go to their "properties" to insult them and I certainly don't expect them to be fine with it. Call me a shrill if you want to but I get the impression that you just want to be an asshole and want others to be as well.
I said shill, not shrill. None of us are going to the company in person. The ceo wants people to stop calling ai slop. This is why people are calling it Microslop. Also, people are boycotting Microsoft, because they are helping with the Palestinian genocide. I try to limit all my purchases from Microsoft if possible. The company is evil, the founder was on the Epstein list, and is also evil.
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.
But legally it is a person. And legally it can be offended.
So technically...
