Yeah it's pretty awful but still no where near as awful as robbing a pregnant woman at gunpoint I'd say.

I can't believe how sensitive people have gotten in the last decade. Dude needs to be fired for the simple fact of being completely unfunny.
Unfunny, stupid tweets (From a time where everybody has stupid tweets). Nothing to get fired over.
But this, this I have a huge problem with. Throwing someone you worked with under the bus for some stupid shit he said before you even met him.... Go fuck yourself Grant Gustin. You're a horrible human being.

Aww...this sucks. He was one of my favorite parts of the show. 
I mean, isn't it obvious he's making fun of anyone who would say such things unironically? If people take stuff like this that seriously, how has someone like Daniel Tosh escaped being dragged into the streets and shot?

Remember when Chris Hardwick, one of the nicest people around, lost 90% of his work and reputation because an ex admitted that they had a shitty relationship? And then it turned out to not even be true (at least not in the ways she claimed)? Or the time TJ Miller lost some gigs because he maybe, possibly was an asshole to people who happened to be women on a movie/TV set (rumor is he's a dick to everyone, not just women, but whatever)?
The mere possibility of being a jerk gets people cancelled these days. It's pretty ridiculous.

I was about to come in here to defend the guy but some of that shit is cringe. I don't feel sorry for anyone that dumb to post shit like that on the internet.

If you do dark humor, it's either gotta be subversive, or really funny, or both.

It’s not the tweet.
Instead of Manabyte talking about movies and shilling for Disney, which is what he loves, and what his Twitter is all about, they
Saying the wrong thing and being cancelled/harassed has evolved into ‘Say what we want, or you have no morals, and we’ll take you down’. Silence and not getting involved, isn’t even an option any,ore.
We’re very close to how it works in countries like NK, now.

Still remember that potter chick dumpstering on that youtube star because he had a teddybear with glasses on it that looked like something a nazi would have used as it had the same shape and shamed him for it.
Then internet started to research her history and they found her in a full blown nazi outfit.
That's sad to hear. He reminds me a lot of Jim Carrey when he's playing Elongated Man and he's enjoyable to watch in that role.
Why is it that he gets cancelled over old tweets but you can have the Liberal Primae Minister of Canada be an ally despite his record of blackface?
Some of the ones posted aren't even problematic and the others seem to be failed attempts at edgy humour. Some people can pull it off, like Bill Burr, but its tough.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I am not defending this guys’ stupid use of twitter. However, I can empathize a bit, and I fear running into this situation in the future.
To protect myself, I deleted all my social media accounts years ago and GAF is the only place we’re I speak my mind. I chose GAF because discourse from many different POV’s is allowed and also because it is not connected to my real identify. If you are using your real identity to speak your mind online, then you are only waiting for these disasters to happen. Sometimes you won’t even cause trouble, but if someone has a vendetta against you, then you are fucked.

I’m glad I wasn’t young when Twitter first came about. Those old cave writings though.

I thought TJ Miller called in a bomb threat against some woman he had got into a fight with while drunk on a train. Being an asshole does not equal causing law enforcement to waste time on anti terrorist operations and risking people's lives and getting entire trains of passengers stopped.
Not that I won't watch stuff he is in, but it's not surprising that people might not want to risk working with him.

Exactly. TJ Miller is a goddamn nut job.

That was actually a separate circumstance after the initial claims. From the sounds of it the fame and attention got to him one night when he was drunk and high. Not an excuse but I don't think a single mistake should damn someone. People do in fact change despite what my more liberal purple-haired friends might suggest.

People on Twitter want the actress who plays killer frost to be fired also,anybody know the reason?

In Australia, instances of defamation's statute of limitations is, worst case, four years. Seven years from date of disappearance is enough to be declared legally dead. These tweets were from, what appears to be, six years ago. If the actor has been on the show for a while and had no history during his time of undue behaviour, comments, or actions, I'd think he's owed the benefit of the doubt to explain himself and apologise. My two cents.

Ricky Gervais says something like "We both know what the right thing is, so we can laugh when I say the wrong thing."
They're jokes. If you don't like them then that's fine, but he hasn't done anything wrong. The real joke is that losers keep scouring through people's old tweets for the promise of internet feel good points.
At least nosy neighbors do it out of some sense of morality, these people just do it because they're too dumb to realize that the sense of fulfillment that they get from raking in updoots is at best worthless, and at worst an extreme detriment to society.

I'm guessing scorned exes/friends.
None of those tweets seem particularly bad. I mean, they're bad in the sense that they're edgy for the sake of being edgy and completely devoid of any humour, but they aren't offensive. Even if they were, firing him for these seems excessive.

Mind control task force took one more victim, it seems.
Apparently shows like these have what people call "stans" which is short for stalker fans, and they get obsessed with characters of their choice. In this case, Candice Patton/Iris West stans are metaphorically gunning down other characters in order for their character/actress to get more focus.
If you can't pull a gun and shoot someone to death, just sign into a social media account and get them cancelled.

Normally I'm against cancel culture, but those are kinda fucked up. It's a tough call. Media relies on viewer numbers, so they have to take these things into more consideration I guess. There should be policies about deleting social media accounts before starting work, and just create a new one.
He did. This is about screenshots from a deleted account someone dug up.

Well then that is not fair. It was a long time ago, and he deleted it. There needs to be laws that protect people from this stuff after so many years. That's basically the definition of blackmail

I will come up with "Privacy" Twitter now.
Everything you post will be archieved after a short while and is not visible anymore to the public. You will get a headsup to old tweets and you can decide to repost them or delete them.

How far back is too far back for these people? They gonna start asking old elementary school teachers if you ever pulled a girl’s pigtails on the playground?
Why, because the shitty jokes he made nearly a decade ago don’t jive well with you today? Have you ever once in your life said something you’ve regretted later?
You’re part of the problem.
