The hypocrisy in that GW2 was insane. These are the same people who loves to drill into your head that what you say on social media should affect you in real life. They are the biggest advocates of getting people shitcanned and socially ostracized if that person does something they think is problematic on social media. Now that their own standards are being used against someone they feel are on their "side," all that firing people for what they say on social media is now a problem. They can't even live by the their own rules.
To be fair, at least half the people in that thread were sane and felt that the firing was justified, but some of the takes in there was mental. I seriously think many of them believes that the authoritarian stuff they want will only affect the alt-righters, racists, and sexists. They honestly do not believe that it will boomerang back and hit them, and are shocked and salty when it does.
