The negative response people have toward his firing really says something about our current political climate.

Guy makes racist joke tweet five years ago. Gets fired. The public's response: "Good. Guy's a piece of shit."

Guy makes multiple weird jokes about having sex with children and babies. The public's response: "They were funny! This guy made GotG! Who cares?! They're just jokes!"

Especially with what's going on now with multiple Hollywood stars being outed for sexual harassment and rape, this firing is really not surprising

I don't like any of these people getting fired, it's all become a big witch hunt.
The only ones where I agree with it is when it's police, politicians, teachers... or someone else in a position of power or authority over those they're hateful towards and based on the social media messages, it becomes questionable if they can treat the people they have authority over fairly.

These movie directors, fast food workers, and so on getting fired for dumb shit they said on twitter in some cases many years ago is just disturbing and not a good trend.

But when the jerks leading these charges, like Mike Cernovich, have it turned on them, that's delicious karma
