twitter is really useful only for trolling thin skinned celebrities like Leslie Jones and Milo was using it just as it was intended

that new ghostbusters movie doesn't look very good

There's no free speech on the internet because every website is a privately run business who can choose who gets in. If you don't want to get banned don't break the rules. Should be a pretty easy concept for members of the Something Awful forums, honestly.

so can we call out businesses for being lovely or not?

do the same rules apply if I dont want to bake a wedding cake or serve certain minorities?

if you follow celebrities on twitter there will often be posts like "i'm using (random product) right now and it's really cool" that are basically ads

but how does twitter get money if some celebrity uses twitter to endorse their poo poo?

i could see charging small fees for longer videos and soundbites and stuff like that being a way to make money

i dont think it was the ghostbuster movie as much as it was comparing a certain actress of the african persuasion to lankey kong



i dont even care about the movie or even think she's funny or relevant to my interests

i just find it funny that ITYOOL 2016 people aka some celebrity are having first encounters with trolls, both ironic and unironic. Twitter just happens to be the battleground right now

problem is the unironic trolls are the insanely racist ones with little to no creativity in that echo chamber

milo did that? can you show me that tweet because I cant find it.

i honestly have no idea what sgoing on other than this meltdown and milo's name being tied up into it just look at ghostbuster actress's twitter, it's full of :qq: drama


e: google tells me milo fired off a shot or w/e and then a bunch of racists jumped in and shitted up her entire twitter or w/e and and its a curbstomp party but figuratively

and now milo is being banned forever because he's the fall guy for a bunch of uninspired and uncreative racists who are upset about being suckered into watching the new ghostbusters


i wonder if those same racists hated based Ernie Hudson, makes u think

In the end, no matter how much I think free speech is good and cool, I have to ask myself, "Is defending a conservative troll who got banned from lovely social media for comparing a black woman to a monkey the hill I want to die upon?"


Hmmm...

No.

except it didnt happen

i dont agree with laughing and pointing and making gorilla noises, you are the only one doing that in the thread and are a racist for doing so
