@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 I can assure you that you, me, or any of these people you apparently know are gonna do anything significant about this situation. There’ll be another tweet in a week or too about another racist message or fan. When does it end?
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 Yes I’m agreeing with you there, Adam, all the hate and abuse this guy is probably getting is completely justified and fine by me. I however strongly disagree that the guy needs to be arrested ffs.
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 Are you serious? How do I know that avatar is you? And if you want to CHOOSE to take something as a racially motivated comment then that’s on you. You’re the one who’s read my message and interpreted it as racism, then I tell you you’re wrong and you can’t accept it. Poor.
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 No lol I don’t identify with any of them, my whole initial point of this entire thread was that I don’t think this guy should be arrested or jailed for this. We don’t live in a dictatorship.
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 I never said it was a barrier, Ivan Toney is an extremely successful young black man who is presumably very wealthy and does the thing he enjoys every day. My point is that he shouldn’t let a few words on a screen ruin that for him.
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 Sorry but you can’t have free speech and hate speech together. How can you in one breath say we have free speech but then say, if you say certain things you will be punished for it? Doesn’t add up?
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 Didn’t we know this? Why would having some money shield you from abuse? Especially when aswell as money you have fame and play in the most popular sports league in the world, doesn’t that actually leave you MORE vulnerable to abuse like this? As you’re more of a public figure?
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 I’m not saying this guy can’t be hated on and slandered for his racist abuse, I just disagree with him literally being arrested for it. Hate speech doesn’t exist.
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 You ever heard the saying “take the rough with the smooth” not sure about you but if I was on the money Ivan was on doing the thing that I loved then I wouldn’t let a few words on a screen from an absolute nobody ruin that for me…
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 It actually kind of does, this is gonna sound harsh but as much as what that kid said to Ivan Toney was offensive, hurtful racist whatever,with free speech he’s actually fully within his rights to say that, if there are consequences then so be it. But you can’t stop it being said
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 If you’re trying to imply me calling you a baboon is racist, then I would say to you all I meant by that is you’re a fucking idiot. I don’t even know what race you are.
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 Yeah mate and I doubt Ivan Toney felt any better after seeing big Adam Talbain pixel designer from Manchester has “offered him support” what’re you gonna do? Make him a cup of tea?
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 No I’m just realistic, Adam. I’m smart enough to know that me virtue signalling on social media isn’t actually gonna change the world, guess what, you arnt either buddy.
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 My bad, Adam, so what you meant is yes we’re having these conversations but we arnt going deep enough into it? Is that your point? Are you gonna sit here and tell me the roots of racism arnt pretty fucking well known?
@AJMattis@omega1@PlasticSaint@JJBergkamp10@ivantoney24 You’re right, Adam, people probably shouldn’t have to face these issues but they do and that’s life. I also don’t necessarily disagree with sweeping things under the carpet, I was just pointing out your hypocrisy.
