Matt Damon has said a lot of terrible, no good, oblivious, fucked up things about rape culture and post-Weinstein Hollywood. And Twitter has come for his reckoning.
Hi ladies, can we all just be quiet for second and stop chatting about our #metoo stories. Matt Damon wants us so to thank all the men who haven't assaulted us for not assaulting us. pic.twitter.com/wlN1SNsXQq

Matt Damon- SERIOUSLY? You are a smart man. A privileged, white man. This is NOT the time to ask for a pat on the back. How about we NOT celebrate men who are simply decent human beings. Stay on track, Matt. It’s not about you. https://t.co/mmdbqAUyP7

We should have left Matt Damon on Mars.

Matt Damon is the epitome of a faux ally whose performative wokeness is more about servicing his own ego than the needs of the oppressed & disenfranchised . https://t.co/KN2tF3AzGj

Matt Damon = every white man who is used to people taking his opinion seriously even if he has no idea wtf he’s talking about.

The reason I'm not talking about "the good men" is because
— Kim Sauder (@crippledscholar) December 18, 2017
A.) They are not victims in this
B.) If you are a good man, you don't seek accolades for not being a rapey bastard
C.) As Matt Damon exemplifies in terms of systemic misogyny "the good men" are often complicit
Dear Matt Damon et al, women KNOW the difference between a sincere chat up and sexual harassment, assault and rape. This is why we do not REPORT sincere chat ups. It's men who seem to struggle, Yours, All The Women

someone should tell matt damon there's nothing remarkable about decency and basic respectful behavior, it doesn't merit a profile. shows how low the bar is for white cis bros.

I was in the grocery store with my friend and said, "Ugh did you hear what Matt Damon's dumb ass said now?"

And in the checkout line next to us, a total stranger said loudly, "MATT DAMON, BOOOO"

Just saw an ad for Matt Damon's new movie "Downsizing," and I said, "Geez, that looks stupid."
— Melissa McEwan (@Shakestweetz) December 19, 2017
Without missing a beat, my husband said, "You should be talking about all the movies that don't look stupid, babe."
😆😆😆
It’s truly astonishing that at this moment in time, Matt Damon has managed to make himself intensely unlikable WITHOUT being accused of sexually assaulting anyone.
