One thing that connects every single person who's been fired for posting innapropriate tweets is that their employer (might have) faced backlash, damaged their (or the brand's) image or otherwise attracted negative attention.
The actual content of these tweets and their implications matters not, (potential) consequences for employers, do.

If you're selling books under your own name in your own universe your publisher doesn't give a shit what you say, mostly. At least not if it's a more or less mainstream opinion. When you're working for the Mouse, you STFU, though. Everyone knows this.

Jesus Christ, of course this thing would have the same name as a fucked up Native American monster.

Chuck has fans in the Mary Sue and they're "Furious" over his firing :

Marvel Fires Star Wars Author Chuck Wendig for Not Being Civil, and We’re Furious
No. (YES.)
by Kate Gardner | 3:59 pm, October 12th, 2018

2nd article written less than 5hours later, someone is extra salty:

Sorry, Your Art Has Never Been Apolitical
Take a stand or take a seat. (Stay Salty)
by Kate Gardner | 5:45 pm, October 12th, 2018

3rd story and yes same writer as the previous 2:

Bots Probably Helped Get Chuck Wendig Fired, Because Twitter Is a Cesspool
The graphs speak for themselves. (If only it actually meant something)
by Kate Gardner | 2:20 pm, October 19th, 2018

Props to them for finding the only image of him that doesn't show him screaming like a mongoloid. That probably had to take quite some time.

 

[Creep3r]

He's still tweeting non-stop like a damn machine.

Take a fucking break man. Also...

O...kay...? Does he have a history of getting drunk or smoking pot?

Also despite being fired from Lucasfilm, Chuck is working on a podcast with the host of Disney's "Star Wars Show" over at Spotify. I guess since its just them hanging out it really doesn't count for anything, but I have to wonder what exactly goes on in the discussions.

Here's the official description of the podcast:

New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig and Anthony Carboni, another guy, discuss their favorite movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor Ragnarok AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE. Each episode is an in-depth analysis of a 10-minute segment of the film. It is very thoughtful and academic and not at all silly or frivolous, so there.

So its multiple episodes of them talking about only one movie? And Chuck Wendig gets the "best selling author" title but Anthony doesn't even get a "host of an SW show" title?

 

[Skelter Helter]

Wendig's allies are pushing the claim that he was banned because of bots pretty hard, but that seems to be making some big and unwarranted assumptions about his editor's thought processes. It's likely that his editor knew nothing about the bots, and instead thought that having this retard call a huge chunk of the comic's potential audience "prolapsed assholes" and tell them they "can eat a boot covered in shit" wasn't the savviest business decision.

I suppose that was the fault of "bots" too somehow?

 

[Vault Boy]

I suppose that was the fault of "bots" too somehow?

Of course, these self-centered pricks think of themselves as so "pure" and "virtuous" that they can't ever be at fault.

Look no further than the DNC blaming practically everyone under the sun instead of themselves for losing in 2016.

 

[omori]

Hey, don't compare him to a wendigo. Wendigos are way too good a creature for this.

 

[Slimy Time]

It's almost as if associating yourself at your place of employment will lead to to disastrous results for people who are incapable of shutting their mouths. Either don't do it, or have 2 separate accounts.

Unsurprisingly, people of Wendig's character seem incapable of self reflection. It could never have been MY Fault, it must be found elsewhere.

It's like the old DeviantArt song and dance, "Trolls got my gallery deleted!"
When the gallery was nothing but anime screenshots, so deletion was imminent, and trolls were just incidental in the process.

Wow leave it to Chuck Wendig to make Hulk look like an old queer.

Russian bots seem to be responsible for all the world’s ills these days.

Imagine thinking that Russian bots would spend time trying to stir shit up in Star Wars Twitter by trying to get a soy boy fired when they probably have more important shit like the upcoming midterms and the “blue wave”.

Rumor is it wasn’t even the Editor in question. Lucasfilms wanted him gone. It’s just his current work was with Marvel so they got to drop the hammer. And you can understand Lucasfilms being a bit more conscious of Brand Damage and financial loss being caused by unhinged creatives on Social Media. Particularly writers.

And no it’s not all Russian Bots. While they will never publicly admit it, Lucasfilms, much like Hasbro, knows exactly who their core consumers are, and sees what Damage idiots like Wendig are doing to their product.

Actually looking at how Wendig got shit canned, and how much it actually resembles the Aubrey Siterson mess, I would not rule out Hasbro playing a hand in this. Right now Star Wars is the most expensive Toy License. It is however nowhere near the most profitable. If Hasbro walks away from it Lucasfilms is fucked. The Mouse would really start shitcanning the lot of them. Mattel is not currently in good enough shape to reliably pick it up. And Playmates wouldn’t pay the high fees. So Hasbro has a lot of bargaining power. And If Hasbro demands that the pissing off and pissing on of the consumers stops now or else, Lucasfilms would look for the most convenient scapegoats. And boy oh boy doesn’t Chuck top that list.

Pretty interesting that the toy companies have more interest in customer relations between creators and consumers being positive than the actual companies making said products.

Merchandising is the key to all of this apparently. By not handling things better when they clearly needed to be wrangled, Disney has put a blemish on the most important part of the franchise after the movies themselves. Merchandising!

Honestly, the movies could've been good or bad, it wouldn't have mattered (from a business perspective) so long as they didn't alienate fans/consumers by constantly bashing them and keeping them interested through quality merch in the form of toys, video games, comics, books, costumes, etc to keep people mindnumbingly entertained. George was smart enough to do that with merch despite how hated and flawed the prequels were by not bashing consumers and making sure the merch was made exclusively with what the consumers wanted in mind without influence from his "artistic" whims, just business. Disney though... I'm not sure what they were thinking in allowing shit to be handled so lazily and chaotically by letting people like Chuck run wild.

When Harrison Ford lobbied hard to kill off Han Solo in Empire, George Lucas gave the wisest advice ever... “Dead Jedi Don’t Sell Action Figures!” Nobody taught Disney that lesson.

It's as if everyone was reeing so hard about Roseanne and James Gunn that they overlooked the prime lesson to be learned from those incidents.
