[QUOTE]Leslie Jones has used Twitter to great effect in the past, but the comedian has tonight faced the worst of the microblogging service, as hundreds of people bombarded her with racist and insulting tweets. The sheer number of virulently racist messages prompted Jones to reply, saying in her own series of tweets that it was not enough to simply ignore attacks online, and calling for Twitter to have stronger guidelines on hate speech.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/19/12221452/ghostbusters-leslie-jones-twitter-abuse-racist[/url] [IMG]https://gyazo.com/111458cbc635b5e3696e80b98fd7d4bc.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://gyazo.com/6fd590d0f369543f325fc7bc49b75a3c.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://gyazo.com/77455a5f8329961bc6bd0583c6da6005.png[/IMG] [t]https://gyazo.com/4267642d5b842c35524f61e14e4f589b.png[/t] I know GB '16 is a shit movie, but this is awful to do to a person who doesn't deserve it and can't handle the emotional abuse.
:snip: Whoops, sorry. Knew I should have checked that first.

nsfw lol [url]https://twitter.com/Lesdoggg/status/755133274591260672[/url] its super shitty shes getting all this abuse, but this really isn't the best approach to dealing with trolls lol. giving these people the spotlight like this is just encouraging them. you just gotta ignore these people.
I just hope someone lets her know that this shit isn't happening to the degree it is because people especially hate her, it's happening because she's reacting to it and giving them a spotlight The worst possible thing you can do to people trolling you on Twitter is retweet them.

I don't think she deserves this level of harassment, but I have to admit her falling for blatantly faked images of people "posting under her account" is pretty funny.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/JH65NB3.png[/t] This will always be relevant.
I feel bad for her. No one deserves to be harassed because of filming one movie. While I agree that re-tweeting these posts was a bad idea, she is only human and we've all at some point or another have made the mistake of responding to trolls.
giving a platform for trolls is literally the worst thing you should do she doesn't deserve half that shit but she played right into the fake tweet nonsense
There was a kiwifarms thread about this, I never realized just how horrible most of the users there are. Until now it had always seemed that the forums were used to observe and discuss embarrassing public behaviour, but I've seen their true colors now I guess. Here's a link to the thread [url]https://kiwifar.ms/threads/with-ghostbusters-bombing-leslie-jones-loses-her-mind-trying-to-expose-haters.22646/[/url]
There needs to be some sort of mandatory "welcome to the internet" class.
They should be going after sony instead of an actor who simply wished to be paid for her work
I don't like the movie, I don't think that she (or any of the actors in the movie) deserves this shit but I really disliked their attitude towards people who were against the film, it was really shit

Goddamn those vultures report fast, I saw this within 10 secs of her posting it an hour or so ago [editline]19th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=J!NX;50737108]They should be going after sony instead of an actor who simply wished to be paid for her work[/QUOTE] She wasn't innocent in this film, she took part in the "it's just trolling man babies lol" bullshit on her own time. She practically summoned the trolls racists etc by blaming criticism on them
I find it interesting how they chose to harass the black one out of the other three.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50737156]I find it interesting how they chose to harass the black one out of the other three.[/QUOTE] Easiest to throw insults at.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50737156]I find it interesting how they chose to harass the black one out of the other three.[/QUOTE] Lets not pretend it's not because she's the least talented and most inflammatory please Edit: Apparently she blasted famous troll @Nero for shitting on the movie while making fun of McCarthy's weight so that could be it actually
How do people get this butthurt over one shit movie.
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50737169]Lets not pretend it's not because she's the least talented and most inflammatory please[/QUOTE] I haven't seen the movie but Half in the Bag's review said she gave the best performance.
i just pretend this movie doesnt exist like dragonball evolution why do people get so angry at a cash grab movie
I don't think it's just ghostbusters. It's also her awful standup and SNL work as well as saying stupid shit like how her criticizers are just racist nerds and that clever comedians suck
Trolls are exploiting this situation, and Leslie doesn't stop "enabling" them with replies. Don't reply back, go idle on twitter, delete your account, don't fuel the trolls. Twitter is not a platform where you can curate and delete the comments you don't like, and this shit will happen.
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;50737181]I haven't seen the movie but Half in the Bag's review said she gave the best performance.[/QUOTE] Have you ever seen a single episode or even skit on SNL with her in it? Also best performance in ghostbusters 2016 is setting the bar looooow. I gotta see the context for this because it's the first I've heard
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;50737181]I haven't seen the movie but Half in the Bag's review said she gave the best performance.[/QUOTE] From what i understand though its because she wasnt really acting, she was just being herself on set. In any event, i think i saw a screencap of her saying some dumb racist shit on Twitter about white people but y'know it aint racist because systems of oppression and white privilege or whatever. [editline]19th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=lolwutdude;50737182]i just pretend this movie doesnt exist like dragonball evolution why do people get so angry at a cash grab movie[/QUOTE] Because its shitting over a beloved franchise people were excited for a new legitimate installment for, by a company that did some seriously fucked up underhanded shady tactics during production (ie threatening litigation against the original cast if they didnt cameo), and then running a months long smear campaign against detractors.

[QUOTE=Crimor;50737203]If you actually read the thread you'd see that those were fake.[/QUOTE] He's not talking about those, the tweets like that were before the fakes trolling started
[QUOTE=Crimor;50737203]If you actually read the thread you'd see that those were fake.[/QUOTE] No, older. About white people. Not gays.
