Have ya'll been watching this?

One of the white male reporters retweeted a funny joke about females. Female woke latinx WaPo reporter gets offended and responds to him. Guy apologizes and is suspended by WaPo. White male gay WaPo reporter comes to defense of original guy that tweeted the joke. Latinx then attacks him! All heck breaks lose. All the intersections are represented. It's a victimhood, wokefest fight!

The entire staff was told by Management to cease fighting on twitter. The female latinx dont care, she continues to blast on twitter. She played the race card today.

Flagged. As a Hispanic person I find this very offensive.

Sounds like many of the reporters at the WAPO live in a state of constant trauma and triggers.

How did our society become so weak?

It means that chick is trying to get fired so she can sue the WaPo. That's really what this all boils down to.

She was very lightly disciplined and now she's going off. She want to get fired so she can sue for wrongful termination.

I bet "conservative" wapo journalist Jenifer Rubin will really call this objectively.

I'm just waiting for the moment she is fired or quits and we can use the "Bye Felicia" meme.

We made them weak 2 decades ago by overly coddling and protecting them as kids. They did not learn adversity is endurable and it can be overcome, and the skills for doing so. They're only partially developed adults, they still have some serious emotional fragility.

We also created crybullies seeking to find offense and run to authorizes to turn them on the alleged offenders.

If you zoom in on the four tweets in black at the bottom, they are all pretty much slight variations of the same wording. Obviously there were talking point issued with supportive tweets expected, much like "shoe leather journalism" in regards to the reporter stalking the Libs of Tik Tok lady and her family. I don't recall if that was WaPo or NYT.

To be fair, you don't know what her punishment was.
What if someone did something horrendous like use an incorrect pronoun?

No doubt she'll get the EEOC involved, claiming a hostile work environment.
