Rooting for a walkoff pitch clock violation

Ah, it's that time again...

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

All of these people need juice and a nap.
