Well, Ralph Dibny's actor got booted from the Flash.

Eric Wallace on Twitter

(Sawyer has, of course, acknowledged that the jokes he made were Not Good and apologized for them.)

For once I kinda feel like they should cut someone some slack because 6 years is a while

The latest ones were 2014

That's a lot of time to grow as a person

I mean we forgive a lot of behavior in dwrp after 5-6 years

You know based on levels of severity and shit

Altho it's iffier since he's older

I tend to be more forgiving if they were like 20s at the time

His age puts him at the "should've known better by now" mark

Yeah, I'm kinda "Eh, I was Not Great in 2012"

I'd've understood it if they'd gone "Yes, he did wrong, he's sorry, we're carrying on," but I also get why they're doing this.

I think the part that's a little sketchier is dude was born in 1985

Like you, I was not great in 2012 either but it didn't take me until 2020 to get my shit together on it

Everyone I know that's a similar age to me that were...not great about some thing wised up well before like 2014

I was like...okay ish by then

Not perfect but making a joke about wifebeating at, what, age 29 starts to get a little...late

I was getting it more together at 26 and that was not exactly the severity I went at that time

That's the kind of sketch edgelord shit that's more forgiveable if a person was a teen or some edgelord college kid but at age 30? eeeh

A lot of people also don't seem to consider there to be any kind of statute of limitations on this kind of thing which is frustrating because people can change. But at the same time, dude was doing this for a bit, so...

Also, like...has the person demonstrated they actively have better attitudes?

Does their social media history shown better attitudes and support for people?
