twitter's been actively trying to get rid of milo and anyone remotely like him (not a DND style hyperprogressive crybully) for over a year now, reminder they took away his checkmark badge for telling someone they deserve to be harassed

twitter's reports must be even more hysterical than SA's in every sense of the word

Twitter seems like a lovely engine for any kind of meaningful thing and only good for funny procedural text posters and wint.

The most enabled people to use it are dumb angry people.

yeah i can easily believe that. it sounds like she was sorta trying to rile up some more tweets/reddit posts for the movie "progressiveness" to look good and basically hosed up and kicked the hornets nest too hard. yeah, she is a lovely idiot if that was real DM(her talking about helping feig get more idiots to get pissed off) but i kinda feel bad for her. no one she be exposed to the full net that quick.

Overtly encouraged in a real way, or in a nebulous ill defined way?

It's a quick and effective way to publish PR statements and announcements without pressers, but for discourse it's terrible because everyone has different expectations.

Twitter is caught between the two worst subgroups of the internet. They get constant pressure from the left to ban anyone who isn't full tumblerina. Then when they do they get hate from the right for the "suppression of freedom."

Twitter is dumb, but it sucks that they're stuck in a no win scenario.

Oh yeah, people were Tweeting faked images of her own Tweets at her, with horrible statements in them, and people responded by saying they saw it themselves and that she was deleting things. She reacted by freaking out and claiming people were hacking her account and asking where those Tweets came from so she could report the fake accounts. She got advanced level chan trolling and totally lost her poo poo in response.

A lot of it is in here :nws: https://archive.is/PMB1k

Whoever mentioned Hamtaro porn, let me tell you, it was actually Monkey Ball porn. Because, you see, racism.

I hope that tweet's been removed, as well as the image itself has somehow ceased to exist.

The timeline of gb2016 kinda follows the same path the devil may cry reboot followed a few years back.

-new game in franchise with diehard fans announced
-its not what they wanted and they are angry
-months of articles and dev posts making GBS threads on the original games and fans
-comes out, is mediocre and nobody new buys it and neither do the old fans
-more articles ranting at the fans

Both of them coincidentally didn't need a reboot, either.

I feel bad for Leslie Jones. She's just an actor in a movie, one she thought would raise her recognition and now she's being bullied by a bunch of dumbasses. Maybe it's easier for nerdy white guys to see but I don't see the humor in that at all.

He probably got rock hard when he got the notice he was banned. He's got fuel for so many speaking gigs now.

To be fair, the US government told them to let that poo poo go, since it is an intelligence gold mine.
