Twitter permanently bans Gay Conservative Milo Yiannopoulos for mocking a Ghostbuster

[0roo0roo]

Twitter doubles down on its double standards

Image removed as the hate comments in it are not acceptable for posting here.

Actress/"comedian" Leslie Jones decided to play the victim on twitter instead of playing it smart and not feed the trolls.

Turns out she's 48 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Jones_(comedian) far older than I imagined. It's clear she's not as "hip" as she imagined. Anyways a cry for @jack and Milo was suspended, with outlets like buzzfeed getting the scoop even before Milo got his notice, no collusion there....

The usual San Francisco cowards running social media applying double standards to silence conservatives, this one with over 400k followers last I checked.

They really hate that he exposes them for the cowards they are.

Well, let's start here: Why was he banned?

 

[umbrella39]

Typical Waaaaaa feigned indignation thread for the conservatives token gay guy. This attention whoring fuckstick got his 15 minutes. Next...

 

[DrDoug]

I was pretty sure that this would trigger you. It's a tough world out there, merciless even. Milo Yeahimadumbass has been pretty triggered by this event too, almost as much as you it seems.

I hope you survive this horror that has been visited on you. :awe:

 

[Jaskalas]

I now see the association of cop killers to #BLM.
In the space of social media the wannabe killers openly vouch for their hatred under the #BLM tag.

I'm guessing Leslie Jones has some connection to #BLM?

 

[WelshBloke]

Well, let's start here: Why was he banned?

Because he's a professional troll and everyone is sick of his shenanigans.

I think what you're looking for is the gubmint to step in and tell these tech businesses what to do.

 

[Artdeco]

Meh, he's a world class douche, good riddance

 

[pcgeek11]

Never heard of him or her...

Twitter. Who cares. Not I.

 

[DigDog]

he's a medium smart person who thinks he's super smart. has some decent arguments until stuff gets complicated. rather amusing to watch except the occasional cringe which shows he doesn't really have a deep understanding of the subject.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Poor, poor #milo banned

 

[michal1980]

regressive left needs their safe spaces. They are allowed to spew whatever junk they want, but someone gives them a taste of their shit and they go nuts.

 

[umbrella39]

Whaaaaaa

 

[brycejones]

Might be something here but as usual the op dilutes the story with mountains of noise to help prove the massive conspiracy and buries the nugget.

However there is no 'right' to say anything on Twitter just as there is no 'right' to say whatever you want to here at Anandtech.

 

[MajinCry]

Milo, that woman hating dude with a nuanced view of Christianity's history?

Nae loss.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Guess he's now activ go Milo

 

[brycejones]

So this appears to be about ethics in movie criticism?

 

[Double Trouble]

Because he's a professional troll and everyone is sick of his shenanigans.

He's a troll, but just not supportive of the 'correct' causes.

You can advocate for the murder of white people, for the gang rape of Sarah Palin and so on without having your twitter account banned, but say things not approved by the politically correct left and your account will get banned in short order for violation of terms of service.

Twitter doesn't matter much to me, but it is an influential platform and this kind of double standard bullshit gets old fast. The same is happening on facebook and other social media.

 

[gradoman]

I always preferred Ovaltine or Nesqik over the nasty Milo. Bye Milo!

This kind of BS is only going to get worse if the TPP passes.

 

[motsm]

Well, let's start here: Why was he banned?

As near as I can tell, it's this tweet.

If at first you don't succeed (because your work is terrible), play the victim.

Seems pretty tame to me, odds are they are just blanket banning anyone that is tweeting Leslie Jones anything even remotely negative right now, since she is getting carpet bombed.

 

[FerrelGeek]

That's the real issue. I never heard of the guy until today. I have no use for twitter. The guy may indeed be a useless dbag a may very well have deserved to have his account banned, but there are people on the left that are also useless dbags that don't get their accounts banned. Anyone that seriously advocates for murdering people irrespective of race, gender, orientation, profession, etc., should get the same treatment.
