Look at these and tell me that this was just a bad joke.


Seemed like stuff straight out of the book of tasteless jokes. Kind of weird of this board of all places to act high and mighty about making jokes like that

15 tweets over a 5 year period out of how many tweets?

Again, worse than a bad joke. But I’m not gonna melt over it and call for his head.

I mean some you can see are some sorta conversation, some are antagonistic jokes, all of them are gross. Which was social media back then.

As people said it was a different time on the internet.

Penny Arcade was doing these type of comics about Twitter back then.



No one really expected political movements and social protests through yet another social platform.

No one was being beat down for saying mean things and 4chan was harassing people who picked on cancer victims.

I think we know why.

Compare this thread to the one on the MSB that discussed the baseball player that got in trouble for tweeting "I hate gays" and the N word over and over years ago.
All the comments are about how PC and sensitive the world is, and its lame for someone to go back years through another person's twitter to find something to get them in trouble over.

The current melt on Twitter includes liberals who are pissed that he was taken down by conservatives. I guess it would've been better if the SJW's had pulled him out of his job.

It's so strange to see this compared to pedophilia, as if those are similar.

Someone needs to find these nerds digging through old tweets and shove them back in the locker

It's pretty bad. Most of the jokes weren't funny either. If you're going to go that far to be edgy you better be sure that your jokes actually land. 


I mean has anyone actually thought "wow, this joke was really offensive but it made me laugh so I'll let it slide"

hell no.

I can honestly say the only times I read Twitter are when it's brought up here, or when I look up a random porn actress.

But yeah. Please let Waititi not have any issues because cosmic Marvel is my jam and it needs an absurd hand to make it work.

Both are simply bad tweets. Unless you have any actual accusations that James Gunn is an actual Pedophile

Eddie Murphy's old stand up is offensive as frick but it's also funny in a messed up way. Nobody is going to protest him being in a movie now b/c of his gay Mr T getting raping in prison jokes (where he straight up calls people f****ts multiple times).

Twitter in 08-09 was a much different place than it is today. It wasn't filled with trolls and PC police. His friends either laughed or ignored it and went on with their lives.


I get it, but when you become famous, or think you might become famous why wouldn’t you go and delete those tweets, or delete the whole account and start anew.
I don’t do twitter, is that even possible to wipe it clean?

Makes you wonder what Disney knows. Maybe they can’t prove it or don’t want to be brought down with it when it comes out.

True that opening about fgts is really funny yet uncomfortable to listen to

There's almost no way Eddie isn't on the down low
