There’s not a direct correlation here, but it’s worth nothing it happened on the same day that Shatner’s latest anti-SJW tweets began. Countless Twitter users tweeted at Shatner, most angry that he was so dismissive of SJWs in general.Įarlier that same day, at the Kentucky State Fair, Shatner fell off of a horse, landing face-first into the dirt. Seemingly, this was Shatner lighting a match and then looking around to see if gasoline would form around him. The trouble actually began brewing on Wednesday, July 26, when Shatner openly quibbled over the definition of what a social justice warrior is/is not. Many are even calling him a “milkshake duck”. It can all get confusing pretty fast, but the takeaway is this: liberal-leaning people on Twitter are mad at Shatner because it seems like he hates social justice warriors. On Sunday, July 30, Shatner fired off a series of tweets, all in response to various Twitter users debating about his stance on what does and does not constitute an “SJW,” whether or not it is a good thing, and why he says he can block people without appearing to be like President Donald Trump.
William Shatner once told Trekkies to “get a life!” in an SNL sketch, but now he’s set his phasers on a different target: social justice warriors.
