OR OR! Don’t ever use twitter for any reason, ever.

Ruprecht’s a funny little guy. Sometimes he’ll say something mildly contentious, and back down gracously when someone suggests it’s a bad take. And sometimes he’ll choose the most absolutely insane hill to die on, coming up with the most tortured logic you’ve ever seen, to the point where I honestly wonder if the…

lol you’d think he’d be strangled dead by now from all his pearl-clutching

My experience seeing these kinds of settlements is that the lawyer gets rich, the class action clients get a small check and then get fired. The employers go merrily on their way.

Hey my trolling is playful and not intended to be harmful! This, this is just terrible people being terrible

“So, what are you into?”

Or we could just fake the world ending, go to them and beg them to forgive us, tell them we need their obviously superior genes to start the new Earth on another planet, load them in a rocket, and shoot them into the sun.

Celebrities, activists: stay on Twitter. Keep broadasting your truth.

I thought I was being oppressed once. It turned out to be gas.

There are a lot of people who direct bigoted hate towards innocent people on the internet. It’s not most people, but it’s also far more than a tiny handful. Many know they are disgusting garbage creatures, and revel in the pain they cause. Sadists. But some actually think they’re the good guys and they’re being…

Hopefully these tweets will still be accessible when the day comes that we load up the spaceships that will take a small segment of humanity to start a new world when this one can no longer sustain life. That way, anyone who used their profile to harass a 14 year old girl can be swiftly moved to the “stay on earth to…

Yea but these trolls can’t mass-harass children. I mean they can, and probably do, but not through this.

Oh, the irony of the AV Club railing after trolls on twitter when Kinja has a problem of too many of them as well!

Let me know when that “when they go low, we go high” approach starts working for you.

so fucking what? it’s twitter.

OR it could be a subversive classic or a completely-accurately-judged travesty.

ok but have you considered the fact they’re all trash who should die of venereal disease

Except that you’re actually proving my point. Hyperbolically wishing a painful disease on some asshole you’ve never met, nor will ever meet, is not the same thing as wishing someone were dead. And claiming it is is a standard play in the current Fascist play book, wherein every obviously facetious “threat” is treated…

See... it’s posts like this that make it hard to consider you a good guy. Hand wringing over calling scum what it is does nothing but deflect from the real issues.

There are plenty of homophobes, xenophobes, anti-Semites and other alt-right figures still on Twitter. There are still bots. There is still one world-leader tweeting bile. Why did they act on David Simon before fixing Twitter’s actual problems?
