to begin with today , Razer , a very striking gaming company , get off out a tweet . That was the company’sfirst mistake , but then it croak and topped itself . Congratulations , Razer ! It is a rightfully momentous day .
That ’s a bad tweet . That ’s a tweet no one should ship , let alone the social media team of a major gaming company . It ’s a reference toRazer ’s new laptop , the Razer Blade Pro , which make out with an SD carte expansion slot . It ’s also a free rein on the phrase “ suck my dick , ” which is a sexist and take down contumely when used in this context .
Other drug user on Twitter delicately pointed our the job , but Razer patently took no notice .

Sexism in the tech industry is familiar territory , and while this unfunny tweet is n’t the most egregious illustration , it sure does n’t make Razer appear very respectable . We ’ve reached out to the company to see why it thought this might be a honorable idea , and we ’ll update if we hear back .
Update 10:33 postmortem examination : Razer appears to have delete the original tweet , and posted the undermentioned substance tonight :
We apologize for the SD reader joke . To those who were offended , it was intended as a lightsome turn of set phrase that missed the mark .
