It was a response to this tweet:

https://twitter.com/perlmutations/status/1224021228521807873

And someone responded basically saying "You're a millionaire, why don't you donate?"

He probably deleted it because it seems like Ron called him out.

Didn't expect that! basically Ron Perlman posted a gofundme for someone's dogs cancer treatment and the response was "you're a millionaire. You pay for it"

Yup. People who saw Indiana Jones in theaters are old enough to start having grandkids.No poo poo that some young people haven't seen your grandpa movies. I understand the urge to call people out on it when you think they're full of poo poo, but as Spock once said to the Replicant crew of the Nostromo in Tron, the droids you are looking for these are not.

The first Indiana Jones movie is almost 40 years old. It's an old movie, and lots of kids will grow up without seeing it.

This is gonna become increasingly true as TV and its canonical rotation of "old movies that kids will watch on a Friday night because there's nothing else to do" becomes less and less a feature of folks' lives

Nah, if they see it has enough merit to retweet it, they could probably just knock it out. It’s not like Perlman is tweeting that poo poo all day every day and would be broke if he contributed to everything. Maybe if wealth wasn’t so goddamn disproportionate in our dystopian hellscape, crowdfunding wouldn’t need to be a thing.

Ralph Nader has considerable personal income from shrew investments. But he lives on $25k a year and donates the rest of his income to various non-profits. Unfortunately, he is less charming and entertaining than Ron Perlman and has far less pop cultural impact.

Yeah, Jack Ma's "big donation" to coronavirus research that made all the news ended up being less than 0.05% of his actual wealth, and he paid it out of his foundation, and he got a tax break for doing it

I was at a convention and during a Q&A someone asked Ron if he played video games, and he politely responded he did not. Then another guy asked and he affirmed, uh no. Then a third guy asked and Ron snapped and asked why people weren’t listening.

You had to stand in line to ask a question, I guess the last two guys just couldn’t think of anything else.

Good point.

It's wild that we don't talk about how the Republican party just flat out stole a presidential election. I guess if you start thinking about it too much it will break you beyond repair. I think if they tried that gerrymandering poo poo you lot do over there in any other country the people would start erecting gibbets.
