For The Win: AXE responds to Twitter feed by telling one responder to effectively fuck off!

.

Twitter can be a cesspool, we all know, fame is a fickle, fleeting thing in that particular forum. Fifteen minutes of fame has turned with whiplash speed to 15 seconds, if one is lucky, but one thing that seems here to stay is the influence of witty, current, and snarky corporate accounts.

Enter, believe it or not, Axe Body Spray and Pride Month.

Quick background: because equality feels like oppression to the oppressor, of course, straight people are pissed off that there is a LGBQT+ Pride parade to commemorate the month of June's celebration of legal and social freedom for those who aren't cis-gendered heterosexuals. So, just like the white people asking, "Why isn't there a WHITE HISTORY MONTH HMPH FLOUNCE FLOUNCY FLOUNCE," we have your homophobic sh*tstains demanding there be a STRAIGHT PRIDE PARADE.

Twitter, of course, drags these people and leaves them for the raccoons, as the Good Book instructs, but it's especially fun when corporate accounts get in on it.

...since she left the post up and is getting crushed with replies - 99.9% negative to her position.

Account will be gone by tonight. VM will be full. Welcome to the big leagues, Jill...

Conservatives call this "censorship". In reality, it's their own stupid views (like Jill's) that get them in trouble.

...and, yes, of COURSE she's a trump supporter.

7. I hope Jill appreciates Nancy Pelosi saying publicly that she prays for Trump

But somehow I'd bet that Jill doesn't appreciate Pelosi's prayers.

The mopes are just now getting their panties in a bunch? LMAO!
A little slow on the uptake, I'd say.
