Yea corporations have feelings and are sentient creatures too! These fucking people above you don't understand how insensitive it is to not correctly call a company by its proper identity. If Twitter wants to identify as X it can do so.

Just as Windows can Identify as Windows 11 but it's really just NT underneath. Or kinda how Prince purposely changed his name to fuck over record labels. He identified as someone else but was really the same character and song writer. Kinda like how GMC is Chevy is Cadillac is Pontiac is geo and Buick. Or radio shack renaming themselves "the shack". Or how Nissan was Datsun. Or Pizza Hut with their "the hut" Name change, still sold the same pizza.

I started this as me attempting to be contrarian towards you...but I kinda came full circle on this one for myself lmao. Swing so hard left I came back around to the right. (My point, not my entire political opinions)
