It's almost exclusively Liberals and leftists who are whining. No conservative cared what he did since it *wasn't offensive*

Ah, yes, well-known "liberal dictator" Lukashenko and "leftist former german CDU politician" Michel Friedman. And what do you mean by that "exclusively liberals and leftists are whining"? The Anti-Defamation League is the far-left organisation that has nothing to do with Judaism and Hitler was very far-left regarding socialism. Basically, according to Musk his salute was supported by a lot of far left radicals, especially those national socialists. Irony and sarcasm are peaking here.

it's not a "Salute" it was a Gesture

Salute is a type of gesture. By my own opinion, symbols don't really matter. Discourse does matter. When Elon Musk saluted - it's one thing, doesn't really mean much, literally anyone can make such a gesture, even when mocking nazis. But when he supports AfD and Reform UK and then he suddenly started throwing zigas AND THEN he started making nazi puns - it's a very different thing.

    Alright, ramblings of a madman comment because I couldn't just keep quiet about how ingenious "Sangetsusei" is as a title:

    Sangetsusei → 三月精

    三精 (sansei) is a word (although I reckon a pretty obscure one) used to designate the three lights: the sun, the moon, and the stars (Eiki does talk about this when discussing the 60-year cycle with Reimu).

    Now, I'm fairly confident that this word was the origin of the concept for the three fairies of light: partly because their names, designs and personalities are based on the aforementioned three lights, and partly because the 精 kanji is one often used to talk about spirits and it's part of 妖精 (yousei), which means "fairy".

    Finally, "sangetsusei" is in and of itself another reference to the three lights. "San", as close to the English pronunciation of "sun", "getsu" is the reading and the literal kanji for "moon, and "sei" is also the reading for 星, the kanji for "star".

    The thing that makes Burnice more terrifying than Pyro is that she actually KNOWS what she’s doing, and from the looks of things, she likes it!

    I don’t think so. Burnice may have some hesitation on burning some things, and people. Pyro, as shown in the comics, usually hallucinates the world as very dull and grey. Rainbows and candyland is specifically how he sees fire. To him, fire makes things happy, so he has no hesitation, no remorse. He is making everything happier. Do you want him to make you happy too?
