    why is it being applied to a tesla whistleblower post though
    • input_sh 3y ago
      It's being applied to Tesla's behaviour, not whistleblower's. As in Tesla's official policy is to gaslight you and gatekeep the information.

      Because Tesla is femme and they are respecting its gender.

  The phrase "gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss" is a tongue-in-cheek expression sarcastically praising the recipient while not actually endorsing them or their behavior. Kind of like "nice work, genius /s". "Girlboss" started showing up 2-3 years ago and was popularized by TikTok. It was originally used as a casual, semi-ironic term of respect for awesome women, but as Gen Z is prone to do, we immediately covered it in 5 layers of irony and now it can range from a mostly genuine compliment to 100% sardonic, depending on context.
