When Blue Ticks block you on Twitter…

It’s so weird when some I discover that a “celebrity” I have never thought about let alone tweeted, let alone sub-tweeted, has blocked me.

For instance, Gia Milinovich, better known as Mrs Professor Brian Cox. Who are you and why, lady?

by Anonymousreply 37August 15, 2022 5:45 AM

... for reasons that are well-known to you.

Goddamn she’s ugly. Woof 🐶

Don't take it personal, many times when someone blocks someone they'll block all their followers as well

You must have tweeted something that pissed her off, and someone retweeted that into her timeline. It happens.

Stay away from Twitter it's not good for your mental health

R3 "Don't take it personal"

Oh, dear

by Anonymousreply 6August 14, 2022 3:35 PM

Lots of people use blocklists. Maybe you expressed an opinion that someone considered "wrongthink". It doesn't take much.

I was blocked by Richard Dawkins after I wished him a Happy Easter, but that’s no mystery.

@r6, Did you enjoy the only orgasm you'll have this month? Good, now go clean yourself off, pig

The behavior of celebrities on social media proves the old saying "never meet your idols."

Don’t take it’s personnel

Ken Wahl and the Barbi Twins blocked me after I said they probably weighed 300 lbs. each these days.

R3, if this is true, it makes sense, at least in some situations. I follow few celebrities but there was a showrunner I thought was interesting. She was Canadian, had family members who perished in the Holocaust and tweeted interesting stuff. One day I realized I had not seen her tweets in awhile, tracked her down and she had blocked me. It was several years ago and I wasted way too much time wondering why. Sometimes actions are just irrational.

Patricia Arquette blocked me but I don’t even tweet, I just follow stuff.

by Anonymousreply 14August 14, 2022 4:19 PM

Kurt Eichenwald blocked me and I never interacted with him or said a word about him anywhere or 'liked' any tweets pertaining to him. Presumably I follow someone who once mocked his affinity for tentacle porn and he's still not over it years later.

Really, OP? You don't remember what happened last June?

by Anonymousreply 16August 14, 2022 4:27 PM

Ok. So a quick google reveals that Mrs Professor is a TV presenter, gender-critical feminist and formerly dysphoric teenager.

I do not dip my tweeting feet into the social media gender culture wars because I am not an idiot but I do follow the accounts of some of the major bêtes noires of the field like JK Rowling and Keira Bell. Lord knows what kind of blocklists I am on but they are probably not ones she would used.

I am reasonably sure I tweeted that my favoured Brian Cox was fantastic in ADAPTATION, so that could be it.

by Anonymousreply 17August 14, 2022 4:48 PM

I would consider that a badge of honor r15

by Anonymousreply 18August 14, 2022 4:51 PM

I was blocked by India Willoughby after challenging her suggestion that "trans are the new Jews" was offensive, and that no one would be gassing her and her family and burning her dead body.

And it's well known that Owen Jones searches for his name and blocks anyone who is mean about him. I put him on block first so I can slag him off to my hearts content.

by Anonymousreply 19August 14, 2022 4:52 PM

That porn dude grifter Jake Orion, because I showed proof that his gay fucking was fake.

Brendad Ickson blocked me because I said she was pretty for her age, and she should post real, UNEDITED/blurred photos.

by Anonymousreply 20August 14, 2022 5:03 PM

Blue Ticks?

by Anonymousreply 21August 14, 2022 5:08 PM

R20- Rudy Giuliani blocked me because I advised him to put the bottle down because has to be in Georgia the next day. So damn thin skinned.

by Anonymousreply 22August 14, 2022 5:08 PM

Celebrities are basically like spoiled teenagers. They don't like being wrong or told no. It's easier to block than arguing back their point.

by Anonymousreply 23August 14, 2022 5:09 PM

I troll MTG and I am surprised she hasn't blocked me yet. R20- That is funny about Brendad. The last time I read anything about her she had just been given a notice to move.

by Anonymousreply 24August 14, 2022 5:14 PM

Rethugs thrive on arguing and trolling and "wrecking" others. So less likely to block.

by Anonymousreply 25August 14, 2022 5:21 PM

There's a pompous Scottish nationalist MP who thinks he's morally superior.

For several months I would reply to every tweet of his with a screengrab of the story when he fucked 2 teenagers in a hotel room while his wife was in hospital giving birth.

Immediately after posting I'd block him so he couldn't see them.

He eventually caught me out and I got blocked.

Happy days!

I was blocked by JACKÉE!

MAAAAAAAAAAARY!

I know it's an unpopular opinion here but I genuinely find both political sides stubborn and closed-minded. They have an absolutist mindset. This has always been an issue but stuff like CNN and Fox News and social media created an echo chamber. A lot of social media activists are just power hungry narcissists.

by Anonymousreply 29August 14, 2022 5:32 PM

Nobody on Twitter has ever blocked me.

Fake how? You mean there was no actual penetration?

by Anonymousreply 32August 14, 2022 7:58 PM

Fake anal is had all the time on Chaturbate, but people tips hundreds or thousands. It’s crazy.

I really have zero memory of why Chris Kattan, of all people, blocked me on twitter.

by Anonymousreply 34August 15, 2022 1:15 AM

r21 Means the blue check marks to indicate someone's account has been verified as actually belonging to that person.

by Anonymousreply 35August 15, 2022 2:11 AM

A UFO academic blocked me and it was odd as I’d never addressed her directly nor responded to any of her tweets, and I infrequently tweet and never anything even remotely controversial. Can’t imagine what I did to offend.

by Anonymousreply 36August 15, 2022 3:05 AM

A mediocre hockey goalie called Ben Scrivens blocked me after I nicely suggested he stop a puck once in awhile. Thin skinned little bitch.
