Really good Twitter feed - always interesting and clever. GC of course. Gone Sad. Hoping he’ll be back.

I keep wondering when Twitter is going to finally die it's natural death. People will eventually stop using it and it will go away. I just hope it happens soon.

PronounIsWitch · 10/12/2018 09:27

Oh no. He was a good one. Funny and articulate.

Hulo · 10/12/2018 09:28

Another one down. Hope he'll be back

ViragoKnows · 10/12/2018 09:29

Another one!

Twitter is getting to be a really irritating platform for exactly that reason.

stillathing · 10/12/2018 09:53

Oh noooooo. I'm not on twitter but I saw his posts linked from here. Tbh reading some of his threads and those of the people he followed kind of made me want to join twitter! I wonder if he'll find his way over here. I hate that this is true but the male voices are important. (he seems properly decent too though)

ScrimshawTheSecond · 10/12/2018 10:09

Oh, that is a pity.

NotMeOhNo · 10/12/2018 10:12

I think he did drop in here once. After one of his threads went viral.

LangCleg · 10/12/2018 10:13

I think he's just having a break. I hope so.

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/12/2018 10:24

I hope he is just having a break.

RetiredNotExpired · 10/12/2018 11:53

I hope he's just taking a break and will come back.

1hello2hello · 10/12/2018 13:37

He's still active, was tweeting this morning.

MsJeminaPuddleduck · 10/12/2018 13:53

Yep still there

Melamin · 10/12/2018 15:31

Yes still there but Titania McGrath is gone Sad

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 10/12/2018 15:39

I loved Titania but I never had time to read all her tweets and now they are gone!

It nailed the humourless sanctimony so well and now that same humourless sanctimony has done for the account!

Melamin · 10/12/2018 15:53

You are right. Totally humourless. Grim.

rightreckoner · 10/12/2018 16:43

Oh good. That Aiden Comerford is a jerk, isn’t he Grin

Sounds like Dylan Moran is too. Sad about that. They are so trading cool points with each other whilst showing that they literally cannot hear women’s voices. That’s a sad thing to realise. Maybe that’s why women don’t get on the BBC comedy panel shows - the other guests literally cannot hear what women are saying.

Does DM have more than one account? He doesn't seem to have tweeted anything since November.

rightreckoner · 10/12/2018 17:24

I don’t follow him. Just someone said he used his standup recently to be the cool guy re trans. It really is so easy for these men - they hand over our rights and our right to our identity so easily.

He’d be appalled to know he was a colonialist apologist but apparently his desire to please the dudes got in the way of his desire to think.

Melamin · 10/12/2018 17:43

I think there are a few of these woke cool stand ups around Hmm Disappointing.

welshgendercrit · 10/12/2018 18:11

Very sorry to see Titania McGrath suspended. I'm seeing more and more accounts suspended which have never seemed to cross any reasonable lines. Twitter admin has lost all sense of proportion.

Destinysdaughter · 10/12/2018 18:15

That’s sad about Titania, they were so funny! So many great women I used to follow have now gone. I’ve really dialled down my tweets since being suspended last year. It really is the modern form of the scold’s bridle isn’t it?

Yorkshirelass444 · 10/12/2018 18:19

Oh gawd I am staggered by Dylan Moran! I know I'm taking it way too personally, but ffs!! Aidan comerford seems like a tool; I can deal with his idiocy but Dylan Moran- wonderful, cynical Dylan Moran, noooo :(
