Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2017 I was accused of racism today but some c-list celebrity named Natalie Rowe. If you're bored, here's the story. Maybe you guys can tell me if I'm in the wrong? Cos it sure doesn't feel like it. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Given how you apologised for the misunderstanding and she accepted the misunderstanding, and most importantly you learned from it, I'd say fair enough. Â I can understand why a person of colour would be defensive about "You lot" being thrown at them, given the nature of Twitter arguments, I'm assuming her arrogance made her think that you knew who she was. Â Either that or she read your posts in a decade old thread in gold about supporting the BNP. EDIT, fuck me, it was 2003!

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) My apologising for the misunderstanding didn't seem to make a difference. If you check her account now, she's tweeting all about how I "backtracked till I fell over" and all sorts. It's really, very frustrating. I shouldn't really care but when a public figure, no matter how minor, with 12,000 followers makes a public claim that you're racist, it can have a detrimental affect on your future prospects. I'm pretty sure it falls under defamation and it sue-able. Not that I have the money to go suing people. God, I wish I did. I'd sue so many people. EDIT: Ha. Man, that thread makes me cringe to this day. 14 years ago! I actually realised the other day that in five years I'll have been posting here for 20 years!

Keith Houchen Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yeah I see what you mean, but the plus side is nothing can be fabricated as its all there for people to read. Â It's not like you got super defensive and dug a hole, you held your hands up and clarified your meaning. Although I'm a Cuck so we will need Glen to give a view on the matter for balance.

The first winner of America's Top Model once publicly 'outed' me as a woman-beater to her hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers. To be fair, she did backtrack once she realised it was Perez Hilton I wanted to see punched in the face, and not Paris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2017 Ha. Well, at least you got an apology (I assume.) My one just doubled down. What a low point in my life to be accused of racism by a former pimp, Big Brother contestant and friend of George Osborne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 On 06/07/2017 at 7:38 PM, sj5522 said: Somehow never been blocked to my knowledge. The reasons celebs choose to block is bizarre at times, if you tweet at Mauro Ranallo congratulating him on the NXT job, JBL will probably block you but I once directly tweeted at JBL that he's "the type of cunt to fart in a two person lift and blame it on you" and that was fine apparently. Also called Matt Striker every name under the sun as he went on some bullshit elitist rant about minimum wage caps and still didn't get a block.  A main reason for celebrities blocking is going to be that they can't be arsed with you. Regular people will block people for a variety of reasons, celebrities do it because they are bombarded constantly with notifications on their social media and and if it looks like slightly too much effort they get blocked. Example I got is the other day I did a tattoo I was pretty happy with, it was on a pair of tits as well so it currently has nearly 10k likes on Instagram. Because of this I'm showing up on the explore page a lot and it been reposted on numerous accounts etc. This draws attention from people leaving comments like "I don't like tattoos" or "why" or "she has gross boobs" or "she has ruined her tits." This happens a few times a month. I don't really give a fuck about any of those people, I'm not mortally offended or anything. I just can't be bothered, so they just get blocked and it's one less boring thing I have to deal with in a sea of boring things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm surprised at the amount of wrestlers I've seen vanity searching and blocking based on that. You'd think they can't be arsed, what with their schedule. My friend posted "lol Tama Tonga looks 55" in reply to someone else and later found out he blocked her based off that. I told her be careful upsetting Haku's offspring like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Well their schedule involves a lot of travelling, which means they spend hours upon hours every week with only their phones/social media to occupy themselves. I'd say boredom is a bigger contributing factor than vanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) I criticised some TV presenter's performance as a TV presenter on Twitter once, I can't actually remember her name. I didn't @ her or anything. Next day, she @'s me saying something along the lines of, "you seem like a lovely man. Think you could better?" To which I replied, "Did you just search your own name on Twitter?" And she goes, "No, I was just showing a friend all the abuse I'd see if I did search my name on Twitter." I didn't believe her.

UK Kat Von D Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Why does it matter if she did search her name though? What's unrealistic about her showing a friend stupid stuff people say about her on Twitter? Perhaps that friend was giving her emotional support after loads of random strangers had been giving her shit online?  I just googled myself to see what's out there at the moment. It's mostly tattoos, a bullshit article from the Sun and some stuff about me and my ex. Wish I hadn't bothered now, but I don't see the problem with it in principle? Edited July 15, 2017 by UK Kat Von D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Yeah, maybe, I just found it funny. If I were a celebrity - like you - I'd *never* search my name online. Fuck that. Don't open that box. EDIT: In principle, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a bad idea. In the particular example I'm talking about, though, it was a pretty innocuous comment. I didn't @ her. She went out of her way to search her name and respond to my comment, which as I say was pretty innocuous, and I just didn't really believe she "just happened" to be showing her mate all the abuse she gets. Hey, she might have been, but there have been numerous examples ITT and elsewhere of people being blocked by "celebrities" because they've searched their own names and because someone's said, hey, I'm not a huge fan of this or that guy or girl. It's amusing that they'd do that. I can't even remember the fucking show's name. It was something I was subtitling when I used to do that job.
