I just saw this shit on my time line....
GAWD DAMN.... and The FLASH is basically a lowkey Black show.....
I'm tripping...
fuck him
I'm stunned as f*ck
He just ruined one of the classic dc characters
Ralph was becoming the moral center of the show with all that life coach sh*t
Teaching people to be better and more accepting.
Wow.
The thing that really pisses me off?
He ain't delete this
That shows he didn't care still thought it was "funny" and thought no one else would care if caught.
This is royally f*cked

Wait minute this sick f*ck was tweeting about mutilating homeless women????

Guess that means Ralph/Elongated Man getting killed off..if they not recastingHe's done.
Suicide watch activated.
and by extension they probably writing Sue off too since i dont think that story arc isnt quite finished
If so look like some recasting will be in order..
Yeah even to joke about that type of stuff you gotta be a bit off your rocker. That's the type of shit dude could have just snapped and brought a gun on set one day.
dang
oh well
Yeah, bring on some writers that can put an end to all that pep talk shit, and get some more interesting characters involved.
