I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy
Until they shut it down, Buzzfeed News had become one of the better news organizations.
You won't believe what this priest did to get fired!
Kinda crazy when they subvert expectations like that sometimes and actually prove themselves as a journalist.
You'd think a journalist for Teen Vogue or Cosmopolitan would be a hack and then all of a sudden they drop some in-depth, well written op-ed that makes you go "what? How?.."
Like I said elsewhere, I've actually got a couple copies of Rolling Stone from the opening weeks/months of the Iraq Invasion (their somewhere in my personal library) and the comparison to issues from before the war is staggering. Their journalists were actually really good and when they weren't being told to write a bunch of gobbledygook about a has-been one hit wonder, they were really capable journalists.
Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.
Oh the memories.
I'm sure Teen Cosmo has some great coverage as well.

Well, the great news is that this guy doesn't look anything like a god-damned villain...
If you asked me what Thunderf00t would look like if he became a priest instead of a scientist/youtuber this is what id imagine.

Every picture I've seen of him is different, and they're all awful.
Does anybody know why hes wearing a mic while speaking into another mic?
Musk's department of government efficiency arranged the A/V for the event

It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, "It wasn't a Nazi salute, watch I'll show you," and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.
They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.
I'm sure most of them just believed they could get away with it and then abruptly realized they did not have the same power and influence as the richest man on Earth.
They don’t really believe it’s innocent, they just want it to be ok to hate.
Besides this one, what are the others?
I could use some schadenfreude in my day
This lady who had to resign from her town council after doing it. I thought there was at least one other, but I can't find it now.
My heart goes out to her.
Edit: Anyone hiring?
People with no billions to protect them are finding out.
Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!
Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn't fasscy then you're gonna get wrecked.
Ah yes. Elon's salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it's just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it's a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?
Ah yes it's a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it's completely harmless and very mundane.

This guy looks like he tried to fuck a power outlet.
You're clearly trying to paint Elon in a bad light! Why did you leave out the footage of the Romans doing it huh?

Need more of this. More pointing out the consequences which exist for anyone but the super rich. More pointing out how we are gaslighted to believe "it's not a Nazi salute".
I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn't like women becoming ordained.
No, that's a church in every sense of the word. That is a normal thing for Christian Churches to do.
Describes a lot of churches origins, many people wanted to move forward and a healthy chunk wanted to go backwards in response.

"While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson's heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition," reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. "Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC."
lol! Basically it’s-
Nazi Sympathizer Does Nazi Salute. Watch It Now On X!
I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.
It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.
This guy worships the "Turn the other cheek" guy, right?
The "love your neighbors" guy?
The "unconditional love" guy?
Just want to make sure I fully understand.
No. He's lying about that part. He worships his own ego.

How old is this photo? He definitely didn't have that hair in the actual clip. Why is this the shot being used instead of one from the actual day of?
"Nazi salute"
FTFY
the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with "and" in the title had me laughing
It's hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.
... Gamer Priest?
I am just imagining like a Christian BF42 server that bans you for swearing, but a lan party of such people, in a church.
