- jrflowers 2y ago“Speaking as if something is true” is how people often share opinions — especially mundane ones that a person wouldn’t expect to be picked apart It appears as though GP found the word they were looking for, and would like to call that post a “prayer for the downfall of Elon Musk”… so I’m going to guess that the question was a weird attempt to mask a fandom complaint as a heady question about language, because “Why don’t we have a special word for when people aren’t as nice to Elon as I want them to be?” would sound downright insane https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41783394 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41783394
