right after the conflict began with Palestine and Israel (so we basically knew that hamas attacked and Israel counterattacked) Michael commented something along the lines of every war being harmful and he wishes both sides to resolve it quickly (don't ask me for details,
I don't remember, it's been two years), but it just backfired, people called him an old idiot, a Zionist, were so rude and harmful that he started to block them and they just went into a mass hysteria over him blocking them. It was a thing...
terrible tbh, I couldn't believe it's the good omens people. Lots of us just migrated here then because the insanity was unbelievable. Gaiman said something like that too at the time and he also got a backlash. Georiga got attacked for NOT commenting
(same as David, but he never saw for obvious reasons). Even Anna got attacked. So they all just poofed from twitter. The worst bit was when the shit with Gaiman surfaced I saw some smug comments saying "Yes, you can separate work from the author/actors, we've been hating on him for months" -
they just failed to mention why
lotsa aipac $$$ to fuel the hate all around
