For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Even if camp has a history of being looked down upon (particularly in the mid-20th century), that view is a bit outdated as postmodern artists have long incorporated camp and kitsch into those same elitist contexts that previously rebuked it.

Art history and shifting attitudes towards camp aside, it doesn't seem like the context of Vivian using a descriptive term like camp to point out the almost excessive artifice in Elon Musk's made up stories is intending to denigrate the lower classes, even if for some people "camp" carries some classist associations.

It is good to be sensitive to classist attitudes, but it seems a bit weird to call it out in this context, especially considering the power dynamic of the context where Vivian, the victimized trans daughter, is standing up to her father, Elon Musk, literally one of the richest people in the world.
