I can't understand the exact reason, I believe it is because he called the boar that plays the part of a black stereotype in the new Ghostbusters "barely literate". And then thousands started shitposting I guess, she turned into "I'm being harassed" mode and Twitter just had to intervene. She is a minority after all. Laughing

Meanwhile she herself called for the harassment of someone who annoyed her, she also used the command "GET HER!" to her followers. But that's OK I guess.

Uh, no. That's not why. It's because he's a knobhead. This was just the proverbial drop I think, he's been blocked before for his bullshit.

You do realise that this guy "invented" "World Patriarchy Day", right? And then "encouraged" his followers to harass women on that day (which coincidentally is his birthday, of course). Or that he "went" gay (Laughing) because women think he's a prick. Or that he created a scholarship available only to white men, reasons are obvious. And in this case, he "encouraged" his followers again to spout racist remarks towards her. Regardless of what you think of her, that's hate speech, has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

His only goal in life is to create controversy. He's scum of the highest order.

If he acts like an idiot, Twitter has the ability to ban him. It's their website, he doesn't have any special right, no one does. Twitter can ban anyone they want, and he gave them plenty of reasons to do so.
This is such a non-story. People get banned from websites every day. He's just another idiot in a sea of idiots. But people talk about him because he acts like a victim for being banned.

Twitter can ban whoever they want but cannot claim that they are pro free speech or that they are an unbiased platform for exchange of ideas.

Also, he is a WELL known journalist, public speaker etc. This isn't a non-story and he isn't an idiot in a sea of idiots Laughing

Do we really care what a company claims? None of them are known for being honest.

Being well-known doesn't make him more important if he's an idiot. It also shouldn't grant him special status and allow him to be treated differently than anyone else, this is exactly what people complain about all the time. And I've seen the stuff he writes before, we haven't lost anything. And hey, it's not like it'll be hard to find his future ramblings anyway. It's his job to be read. People who want to read him still have the opportunity to do so.

The guy was just banned from twitter. He can't send 140 characters tweets anymore. What a victim. It's not like he lost his job or anything.

Nearly everything he does is in response to SJW's and third wave feminism. The goal of World Patriarchy Day was to troll mentally ill feminist losers who constantly complain about patriarchy and express how much they hate men.

The white male-only scholarship was done in response to other racial and gender based scholarships. Nobody should have a problem with it unless they're a hypocrite.

As for encouraging his followers to go after the Ghostbusters woman....she did the exact same thing. She was in an argument with someone on Twitter and told her followers "get her". She's also made racist anti-white comments in the past, yet now she acts like a poor innocent victim.

In the U.S. hate speech is freedom of speech and protected by the first amendment. However none of that matters since that only protects you from government censorship, and Twitter is a private company who can ban anyone for whatever reason. But their bias is obvious when they do nothing about accounts that call for cops to be killed, accounts that express anti-white racism, and even ISIS propaganda accounts.

Here's an article talking more about their bias especially in relation to Black Lives Matter:

People seem to paint him as this great anti-SJW figure but really he is just an attention whore (oh, sorry, "provocateur") who has found a welcoming audience during Gamergate and decided to exploit it to the max.

The less extremist assholery on both sides, the better. I think I'm just fucking tired of GG, both the SJW crazies and the overly eager anti-PC crusaders who think they are so much better. I wish people would either have a civil debate or shut the fuck up, but evidently that's too much to ask.

It's clear that being a leftist radical is way more acceptable than a conservative one for Twitter and other platforms. So can we agree that they just serve their own agenda or are pandering to a specific audience? And are not some holy platform that facilitates diversity in opinions?

So those that look to the emergence of social media and the internet for a new age in information and opinion exchange, will have to accept that political correctness and pandering will not allow it. Just like with the traditional media.

People do consider him a great figure or a threat depending on which side of the debate they're on. He's been a guest on numerous TV shows, radio shows and podcasts, and SJW's show up at his speeches trying to shut him down. Yes he is an arrogant attention whore, but due to his influence I don't think he can simply be dismissed as a troll.

So you can't be a fucking troll if you are popular? Laughing

I said he's not *simply* a troll. He does troll, but trolling is not his entire motivation. He uses it as a tool to bring attention to real issues.

It's like... people nowadays feel the urgent need to belong to a side (or group, or whatever you want to call it) that is well-defined and that is the complete opposite of this other side they despise, and then... they just need to win against that other side by any means necessary, even if that means for them selling their soul or more simply looking and acting like a complete idiot.
