Whats sad is that this crap is not really surprising. I wonder if we will ever reach a point where that type of human is just ignored, laughed off, diminished.
I was thinking the same thing. Good movie, bad movie, still just a movie. Relax.
And further, its far from her fault either way.
Curse you Leslie Jones for being involved in a film that was good/bad/indifferent!
If someone were to feel that strongly about it, unless it was the world's greatest movie but Leslie Jones exclusively ruined it for them, and not for racist/misogynist stupid reasons, like if she totally sucked at her job and that was the final straw for the film, then fine, rabble against her for her performance. Not her age/race/sex.
In the meantime, if people felt that strongly that this movie was hot garbage go after the writer/director/producer/studio, etc. Get those bastards to suffer your moral indignation.

I remember an old website that let you buy 'shares' in players across all sports. Being mostly a hockey guy, it was like playing in the CVE while all the baseball and football fans were battling it out on the NYSE.
That's like saying you're glad you don't follow email.
Umm no. Not even close. I don't follow email. I do use it for communication with individuals and businesses though. I get plenty of news by reading the internet. I don't need to see what my favourite celebrity ate for breakfast or read drivel such as the examples above. IMO it's all lowest common denominator stuff.

You actually do sound like someone who has no idea what Twitter is.
"I don't follow twitter! I don't care about breakfast cereal, I get my news from the Internet!"

You make it sound like twitter is some sort of complex ecosystem or something lol. I don't need to follow it as any tweets that are hockey or football related and newsworthy gets posted in forums. Facebook is bad enough and it gets to the point where there's information overload and with a family I don't need more distractions or means to gather with others on the internet.

Exp:
Erick is usually misguided to some extent, but he is correct in that Twitter is mostly garbage. It is one level below television - not exactly a high bar any medium could fall short of, but somehow they've done it.
Now that I think on it, it explains the style of posters like psycnet - put out a sentence or two that pretends to clever profundity while actually just being a drive-by troll. Twitter-style: thoughtful debate reinterpreted as ironic comedy by hecklers yelling at an empty stage.

I guess if we break things down enough we can claim a lot of things are the same. "Both communication platforms" is a few large steps back to find that umbrella catch all in order to fairly say two things are the same. I mean why not go a bit further? Twitter, e-mail, and Morse code are the same thing.
It's not like my office sits around and twitter tweets each other to communicate how we'll do our work, or how really any business or work environment actually communicates.

I never said they were the same in any context except that considering them an "it" that you follow or not sounds like my grandpa complaining about the interwebs. I never made a comparison of their usefulness either. Maybe it was a bad analogy, but yours is off the charts.
I deleted my twitter account about a month ago. So far, good call.

Reminder you don't need an account to follow along on Twitter. I don't have one, but it's still probably the best breaking news source out there. Yeah it's the toilet of the internet, but it's still better than 4chan. Also Milo got himself permabanned for the whole Leslie Jones thing.
