File this one away under “shit I’m not surprised to see.” First let’s start off with Zoe “Five Guys” Quinn…
hard not to be salty but the dude literally got his big break hurting me and my family & continued on to terrorize so many marginalized folx

but at least he can't do it more on this one particular site. Harm reduction is still worthwhile.

It has to apply to chronic abusers that don't make headlines off abuse. It has to apply to everyone or it's a bandaid on a bullet hole.

Systemic change is needed, but I'm glad one abusive piece of shit is defanged on here.

love to anyone else who has had their life fucked up by him & doesn't know how to answer "why wasn't the abuse against me enough"

Anita Sarkeesian made a tweet about Milo’s ban as well, although to give her some credit, she was a little bit more subtle than Blowey Zoe…

Randi “Hamburger” Harper followed the Quinn model, since she can never many of her idiotic opinions to herself…
MILO WAS SUSPENDED
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY
— squeaky taco (@randileeharper) July 20, 2016
you know what it took to get milo suspended?
a celeb exposing the racism and bigotry that he promotes. public pressure.
— squeaky taco (@randileeharper) July 20, 2016
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he's banned. But Twitter does not get a cookie for what was a PR move to them.
— squeaky taco (@randileeharper) July 20, 2016
but he crossed a line in targeting someone with a bigger following/fanbase than his. funny how that works. get rekt.
— squeaky taco (@randileeharper) July 20, 2016
and i hope all of the people that support him are very, very, very worried when the internet default isn't assumed to be white cis male.
— squeaky taco (@randileeharper) July 20, 2016
Keep in mind that Randi Harper is one of the most notorious internet abusers of all-time herself, so anything you ever read or hear her say should be considered with that knowledge in mind.
Who else am I forgetting, people? Oh yes, that’s right. Brianna Wu.

There were a couple more, but I think that’s the most “newsworthy” of the hater reaction. We already had Sarah Butts in the previous article. What I will say is this: These guys are understandably happy. They just got a big victory. Taking Milo off Twitter will make their disinformation easier and if things go like I fear, Milo is only gonna be the first one they get rid of. However, I should caution them not to get too excited. New platforms come along and times change. What they hail as a victory today might not always be that way. Going against free speech because you don’t like what’s being said is fine for them now. Let’s see if it always is.
UPDATE: Our old friend Liquored Up Leigh Alexander decided to join the party…

emotional children thumping their chests to perpetuate internalized social damage because it makes them feel like they overcame it :((( #aww

let's revisit milo's youthful poetry, which liberally plagiarizes tori amos and suggests he has been an abuse victim https://t.co/KeSL8MepYq

whenever you wanna start reconciling all that, milo, the framework of feminism will be helpful #freemilo #fromhimself
— 🌏🔎Leigh Alexander 🐬💿✨ (@leighalexander) July 20, 2016
goddamn, without twitter, how will we know if milo ever learns to use toner with his bleach
— 🌏🔎Leigh Alexander 🐬💿✨ (@leighalexander) July 20, 2016
i'm enjoying gloating re milo as much as anyone but until twitter makes actual policy changes this single ban just makes him a martyr for BS
— 🌏🔎Leigh Alexander 🐬💿✨ (@leighalexander) July 20, 2016
leslie jones is a celebrity; even me, all milo could achieve was to drive up my speaker fees. what about the daily, less sensational shit?
— 🌏🔎Leigh Alexander 🐬💿✨ (@leighalexander) July 20, 2016
in particular twitter still has a long way to go til many black women, trans folks can safely use or enjoy this platform
