Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

She could have asked him in private to stop doing that first. If it didn't work, then go public. But of course all snowflakes are passive-aggressive, so she blocked him instead.

Given how stubborn Bob can be I'd be willing to bet my left pinkie she DM'ed him numerous times before and asked to take down the picture.

What DID JonTron do to get pulled from Yooka Looyale? He seems like a good guy; just works blue.

There was a brief period of time where Jon started expressing his political opinions, which were more right-leaning than a lot of other online content creators. Then he made the mistake of debating Destiny. Jon showed he wasn't a good debater under pressure (especially not with someone like Destiny who gish-gallops like crazy) and made remarks that a lot of people deem racist.

Of course, Jon's still an insanely popular YouTuber so it seems nobody outside Twitter cliques give a shit. It also helps that Jon never expressed his politics in his videos so his viewers who don't follow him on Twitter would never have seen any of the drama.

My personal headcanon is that after soft block him ineffectually multiple times, she tweeted while drunk and decided to roll with it.

That said, I'm not one to criticize someone I don't like for saying something I happen to agree with or come up with elaborate arguments about how they're secretly wrong. If Bernie says the sun will rise tomorrow, I agree he is right. If Ellis says Bob is so toxic she doesn't want to be associated with him, then I agree she's right. It's shouldn't be a big deal when someone you dislike agrees with you.

EDIT: Said "Shadow-ban" instead of "soft block."

 

[Blacklight]

I can understand why the softblock didn't go through Bob's head. I've been randomly unfollowed from people I never interact with or talk about. When I do I just refollow them and assume it was Twitter being it's normal retarded self.

Let's be blunt: disassociating yourself from Bob isn't just something you should do if you have an image to protect; it's something you should do if you have the slightest scrap of humanity or a conscience.

 

[Troonos]

I can't wait for Bob to start livetweeting hundreds times a day about his new dilator when this rejection sends him into a psychotic break and he cuts his dick off.

 

[Punt Speedchunk]

It's THAT bad? You get cancelled for mere association; even if you knew nothing about their misdeeds? What DID JonTron do to get pulled from Yooka Looyale? He seems like a good guy; just works blue.

I thought the Mafia was bad; there's no forgiveness with them. Being dead would almost be a mercy compared to what is capable of cancel culture. False associations be damned.

If the same thing happens to Lindsay, it'll be just as funny. But I guess women in that clique are higher in the hierarchy.

On further reflection, Twitter is less like the Mafia. It's more like The Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution, where you could go from being a fire-breathing radical to a reasonable moderate to a dangerous reactionary who wants to bring back the Crown...all without actually changing your political views one iota.

The Overton Window is a helluva thing, especially in the sewer pipe that is Twitter.

Agreed; I didn't understand the term myself until I looked it up. But Bob lives on Twitter. He eats and breathes it. I have no doubt he knows the ins and outs of all its weird little customs. At the same time, I'm sure he never considered it to be a softblock. More likely he just came up with some ridiculous excuse for her blocking then unblocking him "by accident."

Weirder is that he refollowed her within the day every time. I don't think he's got a notification system set up; I think her page is a daily stop for him, probably numerous times per day.

They always forget that Robespierre lost his head like all the others. Mme. Guillotine is thirstier than Bob.

The look on Lindsay's face reminds me of something...

 

[BScCollateral]

I think it's a fair argument. If I never heard of soft blocks (which I did not until yesterday (because I don't use Twitter)) I'd probably assume there was a glitch. It wouldn't occur to me that someone could think a soft block is a better option than a hard block.

I still don't get the point of a soft block. "I don't want this dude following me, but I want him to have the option to follow me." Fuck, why? Do you have to pay Twitter for a hard block?

I'm not criticizing Ellis for strewing Film Robert's viscera across the Internet, it's delightful to see a bad person publically humiliated. But I just don't get why she didn't do a hard block. Some people in this thread claimed a hard block would "invite drama". Yeah, like a public call-out doesn't.

People are funny and I won't claim this is the only explanation, but "Ellis is too drunk to work the block button but not too drunk to type" feels plausible to me.

If Lindsay's telling the truth he literally did it in a few hours every single time.

I still don't get the point of a soft block. "I don't want this dude following me, but I want him to have the option to follow me." Fuck, why? Do you have to pay Twitter for a hard block?

Because the guy is a creepy ape who would immediately start chimping out in true Chimpman fashion if he was hard blocked.

They always forget that Robespierre lost his head like all the others. Mme. Guillotine is thirstier than Bob.

With Robespierre, eventually the Terror that if you tried to do something about him, you'd be next on the chopping block was overcome by the terror that you'd be next on the chopping block if you didn't. It's like the moment the people on Flight 93 decided they really had no choice but to try to take back the plane and they were dying anyway.

 

[Shieldman]

I can't believe I actually feel bad for him on some level.
He lived his life believing that people like shaun, Lindsay or hbomb were his colleagues, friends and/or potential mates.
And the worst part is that I don't think that this event will snap him into self-awareness

I just hope he doesn't post his photos with Sarkessian.

Since we now know Bob often reupped the follow within 24 hours, I'm thinking Ellis didn't want to hard block him to avoid the sperg out Bob would have if he noticed his Queen of Wokeness blocked him for not being a good enough feminist ally. Bob might have a smaller following, but do you really want to kick that hornet's nest if you can avoid it?

Why? Bob is a complete creep. I don't understand why some people are defending him (not including the MovieBob Army trolls).

 

[AnOminous]

But if you are going to kick it, you'd better stomp it real hard. Which she did. She basically nuked it from orbit. It was a beautiful thing.

 

[Creep3r]

I just hope he doesn't post his photos with Sarkessian.

He probably will in some pathetic attempt at trying to find out if she gives a damn about him and to see if he at least still has one female friend left to simp for in this cruel Bob-hating world. All that awaits him though is Anita's cold and unforgiving fist if he tries to spam his photos to her.

Good thing she chose to "avoid drama."

MGTOW and Movie Bob. Now that is a match made in a place worse then hell. Although in fairness these are obvious parodies.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

Not all drama involves the same level of misery.

Hard block: Robert starts emailing her, begging to know what he did wrong, professing his enduring respect and admiration, trying to get mutual acquaintances to run interference when she doesn’t reply, vague-tweeting, etc.

Public BTFO: Instant kill shot, no direct interaction with Robert required. One and done.
