twitter awfulness
Small follower base industry professional: *gets SLIGHTLY snippy and sarcastic with rando twitter guy trying to correct her at her own job*
SuperFan/parody creator: "GOSH DON'T BE SO PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE GOD HOW UNPROFESSIONAL CAN YOU BE??!"
Professional: *just outright blocks the superfan*
SuperFan: GOD LOOK AT THIS SHIT THIS IS SHAMEFUL *retweets and tags the Professional to his 56k followers*

twitter awfulness
aaand of course me being me I couldn't help but go "...uh...Hey, You really gonna do this? You're gonna fuckin' let your huge follower base that's 100 times hers easily in size brigade her because she was a LITTLE bit snarky with some guy who should probably have not tried to tell her how to do the job she is literally paid for???"
aaand of course he replies "NO ACTUALLY I'M THE GOOD GUY HERE".
yeah . fuck that noise.
twitter awfulness, +/-
Still, unfortunately the damage looks to have already been done. the Industry pro has locked her account :/ and the parody creator guy definitely hasn't posted a public apology.
I'm gonna ask if I can RT his reply (that was only to me) for visibility but then again I have... sub 1k followers on birdsite anyway so... Dunno what good it'll do -_-
twitter awfulness, +?
Okay the parody creator guy apparently deleted the tweet, apologised as well, and recognises he did a shitty thing. Only took what... ten minutes max?... So that's something at least. I don't think I had much to do with that but it is something of a relief that he did recognise his fault there, and that it was immature.
