Tweet, tweet

When The Flash returns to work on its sixth season, it will do so without Hartley Sawyer (Ralph Dibney aka Elongated Man). The actor has been fired from The CW's long-running Arrowverse series after a number of tweets from Sawyer's past came to light containing misogynist and racist references over the past two weeks.

How the frick did they not know about that beforehand?

We live in a world where people get tweetchecked for just one semi-questionable tweet from 8 years ago, meanwhile this dude was just tweeting up a fricked-up storm.

In terms of social media, 2012-2014 does feel like decades ago.

I would hate to have to try and make it mainstream nowadays when the vocal minority have so much control.

I have the last 8-9 episodes of the Flash on the DVR. I always find something else to watch. Seriously thinking about bailing on this show.

I bailed right before Crisis. No reason in particular. I just didn't care about it anymore. I did like Ralph though. That sucks for the show and that actor.

I bailed right after. Ralph was one of the fun aspects the show still had.

Flash is pretty awful now.

If he were primarily a comedian instead of primarily an actor, would he still have his acting gig? Unless the guy is a psychopath, it's pretty easy to tell that those are all jokes.

Jokes are supposed to be funny.

fricked up content aside, none of that was funny, just weird.

Sounds to me like shite a somewhat twisted, sexually frustrated 15 year old boy would write in his Jr high notebook during study hall.

shite was 7 years ago, but dude was still about 27 or 28 when he wrote it.

He was probably stoned or hammered or shroomed out of his mind one night on the couch snd thought it would be funny.

NOTICE TO ALL HOLLYWOOD AGENTS: tell your clients to wipe their online footprint before a big job.

Has the Flash himself ever arrested a black person on the show? That would not be a good thing in today's world.

And yes I know he is married to a black girl (who is practically his sister given they grew up together in the same home after Barry's mom died).

I’m sure all 12 viewers will be absolutely devastated.
