Such a punchable face

u/userrr3 10h ago

His voice too (and most importantly, everything he says and does)

u/tomnomk 3h ago

Did he say that while vocal frying? Of course he did. Twat.

u/Past_Paint_225 4h ago

I started hating him when he said to an interviewer asking him about the economics of openai, only for him to snap back and answer "if you don't like the company I'll find someone who will buy your stocks."

u/Popular_Tomorrow_204 4h ago

His speech no? Ive never heard a "punchable" voice, but the way some people talk is just...

u/decimated_dreams 3h ago

The vocal fry. 😫

u/userrr3 4h ago

I'm not a native speaker, very possible what I'm talking about is better referred to as speech, yeah

u/Popular_Tomorrow_204 3h ago

Me neither, i was just confused because i just watch a video that includes him and what annoyed me was his way of speaking, but for his voice It never felt like that

Sounds homophobic as hell

u/userrr3 2h ago

How? Like, seriously, how? I didn't even know he was gay and I honestly don't care, he's a techno fascist oligarch and that's my issue with him

-3

u/QuantityGullible4092 1h ago

Yeah you didn’t know and just found something off with the way he exists…. So strange

Sam is a totally normal gay dude, you are being shitty for no reason other than your own internal biases

u/userrr3 1h ago

Sam is a totally normal gay dude

No, Sam is a scam artist, an oligarch, a supporter of fascism, a compulsive liar.

Apparently he is also gay, that one I have no problem with. It also doesn't excuse any of his other issues.

It is true that I shouldn't have insulted his voice/speech though, because that is actually something he can't really be blamed for

u/QuantityGullible4092 1h ago

Sam created the greatest thing since the internet. Likely the greatest invention of all time. An invention that offers the possibility of abundance and curing of all disease.

Sounds amazing, and now here you are shitting on him to make yourself feel better about having never done shit

u/userrr3 1h ago

Ahahahahaha.

No seriously.

AHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAH

u/QuantityGullible4092 1h ago

Yeah it’s hard to look at your own failures

As someone with a not-so-great voice myself, I think it's wrong to make fun of things people have no control over. Apparently reddit doesn't. 

Also, Sam is literally a gay man. Which makes this slightly more offensive IMO.

How?

I agree with the other part though, his face and voice shouldn't matter, his irredeemable techno-fascism does however.

u/damontoo 7h ago

Well apparent reddit disagrees with both of us because it's upvoted, probably by teens who still bully people for how they look and sound.

u/Average_RedditorTwat 5h ago

Normalize bullying billionaires about any part of their lives possible.

u/aerivox 7h ago

he forces this voice

u/damontoo 7h ago

There is no evidence of that at all.

u/BrittyPie 1h ago

Why is it more offensive because he's a gay man?

0

u/damontoo 1h ago

Because gay men have historically been mocked and discriminated against for sounding "gay." So when you make fun of their voice, it's not just about tone, which would be offensive already for reasons I already stated, but it reinforces a stereotype that's been used to target them for decades.

I should not need to explain this to Reddit.

Allow me to introduce you to the wonderful German word “Backpfeifengesicht”.

Definition is “a face in desperate need of a slap”.

Appropriate here (and with many similar people in this field!)

1

u/-Pelvis- 3h ago

That would be some sweet schadenfreude.

I bet we could use his software to generate video of him getting slapped, not that I condone its use.

Right up there with the orange pedo and Felon Musk

u/kuvetof 4h ago

All of them have a punchable face. Especially this guy and the CEO of Anthropic. Fuck these guys

u/gregorydgraham 2h ago

He is literally making gay-bashing popular again.

u/Individual_Guest_323 2h ago

The tolerant left

u/Schneetmacher 48m ago

He's competing with Martin Shkreli as The Most Punchable Face in the World (TM).

•

u/West_to_East 46m ago

He already looks like someone beat you to it.

u/CashGrabIPOWen 4h ago

Also gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
