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.

I think it's just from x-rated and xxx content but I don't even know if they're real ratings or just porno industry marketing, I suspect marketing.
It's a real rating with an interesting history. I especially appreciate the fact that Robocop had to be edited 10+ times in order to qualify for an R rating from the MPAA, which I learned from the Re-View episode by Red Letter Media. The X rating was then changed to NC-17 in 1990 to decouple it from the use in the pornography industry as a marketing tool as you said. The Wikipedia article on the history is quite good if you're interested.
