The tweets were not photoshopped, there is no evidence to support that claim and in fact its quite the opposite if you look at her twitter history.
What does that mean? I don't see them in the Twitter history. As yuastnav said, these tweets don't show up on Google, unlike anything else that's been retweeted -- everything gets amplified by aggregators and sites made to follow Twitter. And the one on the right has supposedly been retweeted 785 times and favorited or liked 4,000 times, yet nothing. The evidence seems clear to me that Beamer's correct.
And, for the record, I'm not saying she didn't say other bad things. As Quboid said, you can say "Milo deserved this" without saying "Leslie is a wonderful, perfect human being."
But "the other guy did something, too! Why aren't they banned!" has never been a valid defense. You can't walk into a courtroom, and kids can't even argue to their parents, that other people are doing something without being caught so therefore they can't be punished.
You’re supposed to know to act like a human being and not a total jerk without someone telling you whether you’re liable to get caught or not. If you act like a jerk and you get banned, you don’t get to say you just wished the site treated everyone the same. You acted like a jerk and you got banned. That’s a you problem, not an everyone else problem.
What he was specifically banned for appears to be posting fake tweets from her.

Milo's account is deleted. I'm not sure how you want me to get "proof" from an account that no longer exists.
And she did not say all those things, that tweet I linked is photoshopped.

There's plenty of bullshit around feminism, anti-Trump attacks are disgusting and I'm sure some BLM people are racist but I am continually surprised by how quickly people, in a topic that blew up because they were sick of negative generalisations about gamers, so quickly do the same about these groups or even "the Left" as a whole. This is how language naturally works and generalisations are essential to communicate but it's so often clumsy and in shihonage's kool-aid fuelled rant, silly.
BLM in particular. It is not Only BLM, it is BLM Too - in this context, life mattering is defined as how often cops kill black or white people. It is focus, not exclusion.Beamer wrote on Jul 20, 2016, 17:31:
Quboid - this is what I meant when I said people keep giving this excuse. "There are murderers with Twitter accounts." Yes, but they aren't murdering people on Twitter.
I get that. It was scarcely relevant in the first place, but the start of your comment says the opposite; that his defenders think it is a pattern and not one night.
Edit: "he photoshopped" - source?
Oh, crap. You're right, I had that reversed.
Oh, for the [Photoshop
LOL so his entire ban is one photoshopped tweet pointing out how it's totally ok to be racist against white people? That's the point of juxtaposition but that might have gone over your head. You're saying he was a systemic troll. I can't find anything that shows he's as bad as some people on here make him out to be. He's the antichrist! Oh he's the worst, he does this all the time!! OK well prove it. Uhh I have this one screenshot... while Leslie Jones says bigoted shit repeatedly. LOL. You guys are hilarious.
1) She didn't make those tweets. They were Photoshopped. He knew that and put them up
2) He's been banned repeatedly.
Do you guys seriously not know who Milo is? This is his entire schtick. The name of his speaking tour is "The Most Dangerous Faggot," with the "dangerous" part being because he's an asshole on Twitter. That's how he's made a name for himself.
Well, that, and saying that video games turn people into rapists and adult males that play video games live in basements and wear underpants covered in pee.
LOL you think all her shit was photoshopped? Do a modicum of research. She posts crap like that all the time and it's all archived. She told a 14yr old to go jack off because he said something like "You play a stereotype in ghost busters, it's quite depressing, i hope your future work gets better." Pretty reasonable statement and she flips out. It's funny that of all the people you guys try to defend it's someone who is equally trollish on twitter. Again, this whole thing is just a comedy to anyone who is nonpartisan.
I know the link is breitbart so you probably are afraid you'll burst into flames if you read it but just click the link. They link, to her twitter, many of the tweets you think are photoshopped.

So now that we have a list of all the shit that is evidently OK to say on twitter (along with recruiting for ISIS mind you), can you please post the things you believe led Milo to deserving to be banned for life?
I didn't say "all her shit," I said the particularly inflammatory things that Milo retweeted that she never said. That are in the link I posted.
What is it with GamerGater/anti-SJW types and seeing the word "all" where it doesn't exist?
