Why the heck would you put the blame on him and not the trolls talking about his dead wife??
I don't think he usually does but he lost it when the guy mentioned his dead wife.

I'm not putting the BLAME on him. Just saying sometimes you gotta step away. There's always gonna be trolls, especially if you have a celebrity account.

Patton is a treasure. Good on him for being able to put up with all the garbage that happens on Social Media. He has some real thick skin. Especially considering the circumstances. After his skirmish with the Ghostbusters trolls I feared that he was in a bad place. However, he seems to be more motivated than ever and it's good to see.
So fucking sweet that he was fired and had to delete all his media pages.
I used to try to be empathetic but the dark path just feels so much better. If these people want to up the stakes, let them. Let them expose themselves and ruin their own little lives.
You play the dead wife card, you get what's coming to you.

He really is. Those interviews he did on late night talk shows where he poured his soul out about the death of his wife are so honest and touching, and took a crazy amount of bravery to do.

What the FUCK is wrong with people. Good for Patton but the fact he had to go to this length at all is seriously depressing.

wait is a Trump supporter telling Snipes to pay his taxes?
I can't with this. Real world is too unreal to me.
I agree. The "emboldening" as people worry about it, is unimportant. It neglects that a political win doesn't represent the majority of people in the US or by extension, the world. If they feel emboldened to jump into the snake pit with racism, threats, mean things, and get torn down, arrested, fired or whatever then it's unfortunate but Trump being president can't save them from the public execution squad.

You can't embolden people who have no fragment of human decency. They were already acting like animals, might as well treat them like them.
IDK when you can ruin the troll's life for their own shitty behavior it seems pretty win-win.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
What's fucked up about that is Snipes did time for not paying taxes, while Trump got elected President.

The sad part is that the irony of this post is totally lost on Justin.
Well bully for you. He tried to turn an insult people like you use into a positive.
Fuck him right?
People like me? What are you saying?
Steve Martin tweeted a well intentioned thing about Carrie Fischer, but came across incredibly misguided and creepy, and Patton Oswalt came to his defense blaming "SJWs".
The tweets:

Holy shit. You already had my undying nerd love, Daywalker, but consider it renewed.
Really...? That's what got you all upset? Thought people like you were just a parody of liberals but here we are.
Yeah unfollowed him from my Twitter

benevolent sexism
Was this one of those times? Oswalt came out ahead and a complete piece of shit suffered real consequences for his severely flawed character, as people should in a just world.
You really showed him. And btw I'm pretty sure Carrie Fisher would have laughed her ass off at the Steve Martin Tweet. It's a joke from you know... a comedian.

Did you read the actual post? He's pretty clear about explaining why he took the time to respond.
Or you didn't take the time to read at all and are just upset over something.
I'm sure he's upset about losing someone so sad like you.

Much agree. One of my favorite humans currently on earth.
Patton is dumb he just needs to have a level headed and well reasoned debate with these parasit-I mean people and then we'll all get along just fine
Wow I actually found someone ignorant enough to still think these kinds of attitudes are just lol zany internet antics and not a widespread phenomenon. You still think /pol/ is one big epic troll bro?

These three are great. He was really savage, and rightfully so.
Yeah, I hate how it's thrown around for fucking anything these days.

It's a special kind of person (the ones that will be eating hellfire) to immediately target someones dead spouse as their go to insult.
That's just warped on a thousand different levels.

No I don't, "bro". Like I said, I get it now. He got a bigot fired.
But hey, at least I made this thread interesting. We all need someone to pile on.

I just don't see why anyone would want to be mean to Patton, he such a humorous and good-natured dude.

I watched this unfold live and enjoyed every minute of it. This guy who insulted Patton's wife was dumb enough to use his business account which included his cell number and the company he worked for. Karma is a bitch...he got what he deserved. I hope this happens to more people who think they can say whatever they want and hide behind a twitter account

Yeah it seems one of those rare cases where SJW is used as it was actually intended.
