If I hear "Hot Zuck Summer" again I'm gonna puke

The article criticizes recent media coverage portraying Mark Zuckerberg as “cool” again based on his success with Threads and a shirtless photo he posted. The author argues that Zuckerberg’s photo looks like that of a middle-aged man cheating on his wife, and that Threads’ success is questionable given it is mostly used by journalists and brands. The author concludes that despite any business success, Zuckerberg’s role in Facebook’s issues make him unlikely to ever be truly “cool”, and urges journalists to stop describing him as experiencing a “Hot Zuck Summer”.

    Here is an Iron Law I have learned from two decades on Facebook: If you are 39 years old and married with two children, you do not get this ripped unless you are deeply unhappy.

    Oh man, that hurt.

      Yeah just because the author is fat and lazy and is surrounded by fat and lazy friends doesn’t make this true. This is one of those telling on yourself comments.

        Yeah, we should all worship our zuckerbergs, rub our faces on his feet. I think he can probably survive without you defending him. Oh, Elon is a piece of shit too, and Gates.

          You can dunk on zuck without getting into weird rants about how all the people who work out are unhappy and stupid. Moreover, you can just criticize people for the bad things they are doing. Starting weird rants about their appearance doesn’t help anyone.

            Sorry, I missed the part where people who work out arent happy. It’s hard to insult somebody when you can’t use language you know would hurt them, I guess

              It’s that part. But well, if your goal is to hurt someone no matter what, it’s one thing. If your goal is to shame evil people for the evil they are doing, you might reconsider your strategy.

                Yeah, I understand what you mean, but I’m a married fat guy with kids and I don’t feel offended. Maybe the online anglo thing with policing the way we curse and shittalk is bad?

                  Have you ever considered that “It doesn’t bother me personally therefore it shouldn’t bother anyone” isn’t as sound logic as you might imagine?

                    Sure, it’s the same logic as “it bothers me personally so I get to decide what’s ok to say”

      Or maybe, hear me out, he has enough time and money to dedicate to taking care of his body. This article is a super petty attack.
