also apps

Deadnaming Twitter and the Gulf of Mexico is praxis

For Twitter. Off the charts very cool.

There is a new name for twitter?
- ex-twitter.

I don't care if Sears doesn't even exist anymore, it's the Sears Tower.

Bit off topic but I kind of respect IBM for sticking with their same logo since 1972!

Lucky Strike cigarettes have had essentially the same packaging since 1942.
On this topic, I want to give a shout out to the Chicago Bulls for having the exact same logo since 1966. It's a great logo and I appreciate that they haven't changed it at all.
- There's a very obvious business reason why though.

If inanimate objects, areas, websites, or concepts anthropomorphized and told us their preferred name then I'd respect it. People with feelings get to decide their own name, the rest do not

Yes, also apps ... because people still understand it when I say fuck Twitter.

I still say Burma (fuck the military dictatorship).

Burma
- If it was from the zoo... it would have PROPERTY OF THE ZOO STAMPED ON IT

It was a tough seven years when people called him Prince instead of just saying Ƭ̵̬̊

Did he ever even mentioned how you'd pronounce that symbol in speech? Also: I remember everyone calling him "the artist formerly known as Prince," in an attempt to try and respect his name change.

Sports teams?

I'm fond of the Washington football team

Apparently in the US they have some old teams used to have racist af names.
- Used to*
  Still do
  But used to too!
  I'm fond of the Washington football team moniker, I feel they should've become the warthogs, could've even tied in military sponsorship the NFL loves so much with the a-10

It'll always be the Millennium Dome to me.

Gulf of Acrisure

The Mexican Heinz

You should probably illustrate your point with a meme where refusing to use a new name for a stadium is very cool.

Aint no way we can deadname twitter

I don't care what brand name they change it to, the stadium in San Jose will always be "The Shark Tank" to me.

There is definitely a grace period depending on how long you knew the old name, compared to the new one.

Bruce jenner was a name i knew for waaaay longer than Caitlyn. Mainly cause he won the Olympic gold.

i mean yes but why misgender her 🤨 she still won that olympic gold lol it’s not a different person
- I'd argue that it's weird to call a Bruce, "her". After she transitioned, thats a different story.
