It all started when people got uppity about Milo quote-retweeting them. Apparently, some cuck on Twitter's staff actually got upset about all this. After realizing that Milo hasn't really broken any rules and getting upset that he couldn't ban him, he decided to remove the Verified checkmark from Milo's account. Now, the verification checkmark is what Twitter gives an account to confirm that it is the real account of a journalist, celebrity, whatever. This can only mean that Milo is an impostor!

Anyway, Milo fans begin retweeting #JeSuisMilo in solidarity. Even the BBC covered this, surprisingly portraying the Twitter staff in Nazi uniforms. Perhaps paying homage to Breitbart's Jewish history?

Adam Baldwin, the actor who played Jayne in Firefly, changed his profile picture to Milo in protest. He could easily be banned for this, despite his high-profile nature. Others such as TheRalphRetort and ShoeOnHead have also changed their profile pictures, but who gives a fuck about them?

Then there are the prominent people who didn't support Milo. These include:

• Brianna Wu, of course.

• Zoe Quinn. Fresh off the boat from donating poisoned blood to sick children (almost sort of not even joking)!

• Randi Lee Harper, also known as "the woman who painted her dog". Also sort of not joking.

• Jonathan McIntosh.

• Sarah Nyberg, the child pornographer.

• John Scalzi.

Twitter apparently noticed what with all the #JeSuisMilo's going around, and some bitter child decided to resurrect a hashtag from October 2014 to combat the Gator menace.

And, finally, the inevitable Breitbart article about it.

TL;DR: This is pretty serious. Milo and Adam's behavior right now means there's a huge threat of them getting banned from Twitter. If Twitter does that, there's going to be a shitstorm. More news as this story develops...
