I was watching Legacies just now, and I saw Alaric Saltzman getting his ass handed to him by Hope Mikaelson. So I thought to myself, “Let’s look up why Matt Davis left the show, and see what’s wrong.” Thing is, because I have high standards, I decided to stop using social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc, but goddamn it, it turned out, Matt Davis said some racist shit about China or whatever, and apparently, nowadays, you can either express yourself in an overly positive way, or face the wrath of the Twitter mob. Not everyone is mature enough to just be like, “Maybe he’s just being sarcastic. Maybe he likes dark humor. Comedians get away with shit like that all the time, so why can’t he? Maybe he’s crushed after he lost someone to COVID19. We can all be irrational when we feel utterly inconvenienced.”
The Twitter mob is fucking ruining entertainment, and their drama bullshit is affecting the shit that I watch despite the fact that I don’t want anything to do with social media. It’s ridiculous! All the people who were too scared to stand up for themselves in high school are now turning into bullies, and not just any kind of bullies; the kind that bullies those in show business, no less.
I just don’t get it. How can you cancel someone for speaking their mind, and then have the audacity to preach about freedom of speech? 🤦🏻♂️
