itâs cute, but is every twitter employee a white middle aged male?
No, of course not. They are all people on H1 visas and mostly male
They are definitely all wearing T-shirts with whatever they use as a substitute for a personality on them
previously 44% of twitterâs us fulltime employees were women, and 52% were white
while i generally like tom tomorrow, casual erasure and assumptions about who works in different areas of tech are problematic
i understand what humor is. them all being white men wasnât part of the joke, or if it was - he failed to sell it or provide a payoff for it in anyway
The only thing we have to go by as far as who is there now are a couple of pictures:
While it doesnât show everyone left at Twitter, it does say something.
(Frankly I am assuming that anyone that doesnât have to stay because of a visa is gone - why would anyone stay of they had options?)
i donât think dan perkins was trying to convey anything about that aspect of the change in twitter staff because thereâs no such point in the cartoon. everything he put in it is all right there.
in my opinion, he was just being lazy, and not reflecting on his own selections. the default for him and his cartoons is the white male dude.
i think bending over backwards to defend what is a relatively commonplace bias of white male cartoonists is unnecessary. as a counter point, see randall monroe who handles this stuff with aplomb in the actual text and images of his cartoon on a regular basis.
there should be nothing contradictory with liking a piece of media, and being able to critique it.
wait, wait, wait. is the notification sound a âboom?â
You are probably right. I was thinking more about what the environment had to be like there now - where the only people left either agree with Elon or canât leave for visa or other reasons - it has to be a nightmare there. I was more defending my comment about âh1s and mostly menâ - not addressing your comment, for which I apologize
I have no idea - my assumption was that he was startled to hear notifications on the desktop. I figure it would be a âtoot!â sound but I donât know since I have not used it
thanks, and yeah agreed. hopefully at least some of them can apply elsewhere and land safely, or make it till musk gets bored and appoints someone who knows how to run a company
