People need to get over their shit. Jesus fucking Christ. I’m sitting here today while I look at your ridiculous Facebook posts and Snapchat stories: “If anyone sees woody allen on campus today kindly knee him in his old pedo nuts for me k thx”.
I know you think you’re a good person for standing up against a man who allegedly sexually assaulted a child but calling for violence and elder abuse is really shitty you greasy hypocrites. The fact of the matter is that if you’re going to try to leave your liberal college bubble by creating social upheaval over Woody Allen you should make sure to also boycott list of celebrities and movies below.

It’s important to separate art from the artist and recognize the fact that this movie filming brings a lot of recognition to Drew. To voice your concern for an issue that is important to you is great but posting messages like “I just saying that if Woody Allen shows up we we all need to be ready to break the fucker’s jaw at least” is flat out wrong. Not only does the grammar and spelling in your post tell us enough about the type of person you are, but also makes it clear that you’re more interested in making a commotion than creating positive social change.
A school with supposed liberal values that allows students to advocate acts of violence whilst restricting free speech is a crime on its own. So calm the fuck down Woody Allen isn’t going to try take any kids from the Acorn Academy or whatever and you’re just an annoying hypocrite who’s ruining an incredible opportunity for this university and the majority of its students. I honestly don’t have the time or crayons to continue trying to explain this to you but if you’re one of these social media posters who’s advocating for violence, do everyone a favor and shut up you nasty deluded pieces of garbage.
Oscar Wilde was arrested for having gay sex/being gay??? how can you equate this with rape and pedophilia?
