He never said anything about Trump buffs.


Literal Trumpeteers went after Gunn

I thought it was SJWs offended by rape jokes and stuff?


Ben Shapiro went on some sort of left-leaning talk show. The guys fans were so angry at him that he had to issue an apology for having Ben on. They used old tweets from years ago as evidence that Ben was a bad person who shouldn't be given a platform. Gunn waded in to the situation of his own volition, arguing that the old tweets were indicative of Shapiro's current beliefs and are reason enough to believe that Ben is a bad person. In response, cernovich did the same.

It turns out people are a lot more willing to compromise on their beliefs if it means using somebody's own weapon against them.

Maybe I'm missing something but the only thing I've read on their spat was that Gunn said something about Shapiro making fun of a high schooler's grammer. And I'm guessing that was the thing that set it off?


Sort of. Duplass plugged Shapiro and after the backlash (fueled by a lot of in-the-moment drudging up of old tweets to show duplass that Ben was a bad person), Gunn took the "middle ground" by saying it was important to reach out to racists and bigots. People started @ spamming Gunn those same old tweets, but the only one gunn referenced was the grammar one.

It's basically impossible to find the original cernovich tweets because of how much garbage he tweets plus the fact that nobody reported on it, but it was always a "I can drudge up old tweets too" response

Edit: combined with the infamous fact that his response to the Roseanna drama was "if you tweet offensive stuff you should be fired"
