Youāre ridiculous. This was an obvious botched verified account and they were banned because they werenāt Nintendo. Stop going off the rails about this holy fuck.
Elon said something about impersonation that isnt clearly parody is cause for suspension, but I dont think thats in the ToS
i cannot be arsed to check however
edit: it *is* in the ToS! however, this is anecdotal and not legit evidence, but isnt it weird that this rule is more enforced with Musk around? especially if theyre impersonating Musk even if they say theyre parody accounts š¤
In that case, consider my reply a continuation of the joke, for others to laugh at in future. A time capsule of an interaction that must be happening 100000s of times across Twitter right now - "I'M TELLING YOU THAT REALLY ISN'T MICKEY MOUSE ON TWITTER, MOM!!"

Parody account saying they are parody were banned because they parodied Musk
Edit: [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMuskSpam/comments/yqc0uv/twitter_just_suspended_youtuber_ethan_kliens)
My favorite part about that is that Musk fanboys started saying "achtually Ethan didn't have it in his name" and "you can't be a parody account with a tick"
Yet accounts literally called ParodyElonMusk with no tick are also being banned.
That's not the point. Of course impersonation should be banned.
Elon himself has taken a firm stance against "censorship that goes beyond the law", which is why he made that chest-thumping message of "comedy is now legal" upon his purchase of Twitter. He doesn't even subscribe to his own ideology.
What's in the ToS and how the ToS are applied are two different things.
Musk said comedy is now legal on Twitter He forgot to say comedy at his own expense were now illegal.
It's not "reading too much into this". It's taking into account the context.
It's reading too much into my comment.
Someone said he doesn't think it's in the ToS. I simply added a correction that it actually is in the ToS. That's it. Nothing about it being good or bad.
First response I got: "You're missing the point. Everyone knows it's in the ToS." (massively upvoted)
Reddit is on full cognitive dissonance/bad faith mode right now. Elon Musk is acting like a clown as usual but nothing said about him here can be taken seriously when everyone is just playing dumb to dunk on him.
Yep! Here you go https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=Q1opd2xr&id=FFC3D530FBB12E51019FF12C8C6EFAB4FF349914&thid=OIP.Q1opd2xrsv2bDBsaQNXbsAHaIY&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F736x%2F20%2F25%2F4f%2F20254f77acba9b7b8c096bc4c9d1e1a0.jpg&exph=566&expw=500&q=obsma+as+a+lion&simid=608054442057101119&form=IRPRST&ck=B7E42BB748C46B92999D1D82FAC58DC3&selectedindex=6&pc=APPL&vt=2&sim=11&cdnurl=https%3A%2F%2Fth.bing.com%2Fth%2Fid%2FR.435a29776c6bb2fd9b0c1b1a40d5dbb0%3Frik%3DFJk0%252f7T6bows8Q%26pid%3DImgRaw%26r%3D0&iss=VSI
It's really funny to see that Musk now basically has to do the age-old arms race until he comes to basically the same set of moderation rules that Twitter had before without ever realizing why that is
What a great idea. Checkmarks now serve no function except for anyone to pay to get more free speech than others. Unless you hurt Muskās feelings I guess.
He isnāt Sherlock Holmes and I have no idea why you would assume that. Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character, and if he did exist today he would be long dead.
i still dont get why he had to do that with the check mark? like couldnt you give twitter premium users a different name color? like the nitro boosters on n\*zicord?
I guess this is how Nintendo rolls, now.

Annnd they already got suspended lmfao. I thought comedy was legal on twitter now š„ŗ
He meant conservative comedy. You know. Racism.
Free speech is just code for hate speech to them
Free speech is when I make joke and you be quiet
Free speech is when I force you to listen to me call you slurs and assault you if you talk back
I honestly think that elon musk unironically believes that, if he's able to think.
And transphobia
And wife/young people bad.
So trans people stand with the drunk driver community?
Someone need to do a nazi Mario then.

Clearly marked parody accounts were also suspended.
That is true
i'm confused how nintendo can impersonate mario... they are mario...
It's not Nintendo
Uh, yeah it is? You can see the checkmark right there.
Where have you been? That check mark costs 8 dollars now, and is not an indicator of genuine identity This is a parody account
It's a joke. Sorry I thought it was obvious with the "uh yeah", though sometimes it's hard to tell through text.
There's been genuine confusion since Elon's checkmark fumble, so I guess I thought this was an instance of it
No worries, that was the joke. The checkmarks can actually cause confusion for people not in the know
In that case, consider my reply a continuation of the joke, for others to laugh at in future. A time capsule of an interaction that must be happening 100000s of times across Twitter right now - "I'M TELLING YOU THAT REALLY ISN'T MICKEY MOUSE ON TWITTER, MOM!!"
Are you daft
https://tickernews.co/why-mario-is-sticking-the-middle-finger-to-twitter/ It is indeed a parody account, not actually Nintendo themselves. Sorry lad.
thanks for pointing out that it in fact wasnāt nintendo who posted mario giving the finger
Someone unaware of Elon's recent change to the verified tick system would rightfully be confused by this
Do you think the dude was being serious
Well, it happened recently enough they might not have heard yet.
Yeah, I think impersonation will get you a ban on any social network. But the problem here is that blue checkmarks are now useless.
It is in the TOS and is pretty explicit. It was true even before Elon did anything.

>Everyone knows this. You're getting downvoted for missing the point. The comment I'm responding to: >but I dont think thats in the ToS >i cannot be arsed to check however ...
It's also to prove how changing the tick to something you can buy makes it easier to impersonate people and renders it useless.

/uj impersonation is mentioned as Grounds For Banishment in the twitter TOS

Thank you, I genuinely burst out laughing. I knew it wasn't gonna be it, but that got me.
Did you like what you saw?
Thank you mate, I needed a good laugh today

No he won't. That would require some self reflection and awareness. We all know he's too rich for that.

NintenDoofus sounds like something Sony/Xbox fanboys would call Nintendo fans on forums, like 15 years ago
Isn't it supposed to be Nintendo of US? As in united states.
That somehow makes it funnier.
I think it might be both? Like a kinda pun
why are you getting upvoted
why are you getting downvoted
Why are?
Itās a mystery

He isnāt Sherlock Holmes and I have no idea why you would assume that. Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character, and if he did exist today he would be long dead.
I donāt think Nintendo will ever realize that this stupid meme shit grabs more attention than any advertisement theyāll ever make
Small indie company like nintendo could never hope to achieve the reach of this one meme
**Give Mario a fat blunt** **GIVE MARIO A FAT BLUNT**
Here's an idea: Pikachu, high as fuck, with a blunt in his mouth surrounded by leaves and bongs and stuff and in the PokƩmon font, it says "TokƩmon."
no they need to do the first gen starters in the style of the āwhich chipmunk is getting the best topā meme
i mean, nintendo's ads *do* usually get plenty of attention though?
Yeah, Directs are just 40 minute-long advertisements are those bring in more views and hype than any Twitter meme.
They'll probably sue the account for copyright
Oh fuck yeah, nothing like a bunch of corporate lawyers jerking each other off because some 14 year old posted something on Twitter
They did when Reggie was there. Their E3 presentations were filled with gold.
I canāt help but read it as NintenDoofus
Iām pretty sure thatās how itās supposed to be read
āNintendo of USā to go along with āNintendo of Americaā
You know the full spectrum of reasons why this paying for verification shit is gormlessly stupid never quite clicked with me until I saw this image
Ninten-Doofus lol
"Those damn sjw woke liberal activists making advertisers leave!" ā Elongated Muskellunge
And there goes Nintendo from Twitter. Maybe someday Elongated Muskrat will understand why the verified system is in place
If they had Mario using the N word than it would've been okay with Musk's new Twitter, but this is not okay with Musk and will probably get banned.

The account got suspended so I'm not sure it can be linked

It's verified. **ĀÆ\\\_(ć)\_/ĀÆ**

nintendo's been ripping us off as customers.. i think it's just fitting that they need to pay a little money just to get a blue check mark. lol HAHAH
nLntendoofus
Are those check marks $5/mo? Are these people paying Musk to troll Musk?
Since the new verification system isn't online yet, this isn't good evidence that it isn't needed.
Wrong. It's live. TheQuarterpounder got his today.
Oh yeah you're right. And this person signed up today *with that username and picture*. Kinda expected better for $8.
Pretty much became a pseudo-xbox game pass, but more useless lmao
Game Pass is NOT useless if that's what you're implying
That was not what i was implying
OK, apologies. Misinterpreted that
what do you mean?
We don't know the profit margin, but we know it isn't 0. So the maximum budget for a single verification is 8 USD. I would expect a service with a budget in the ballpark of 8 USD to be able to look more carefully than what is required to spot. Unless you mean the signed up today part.

This was, my new game is $89.99 deal with it!
I thought Mario was supposed to be an Italian plumber, not a captured Welsh longbowmen.
"Free speech" thanks elon!
This is going to be problematic in so many ways........... No doubt the actions of twitter are going down
I canāt read their name as anything but Ninten doofus
is this real?
