<p>Actor Wil Wheaton, one of the pioneers of social justice-focused social media call-out culture — which &#8220;outs&#8221; actors, entertainers, and comedians over their &#8220;problematic&#8221; tweets — has <a href="https://news.avclub.com/wil-wheaton-on-quitting-social-media-i-don-t-deserve-1828743467">reportedly been driven off both Twitter and its &#8220;safe space&#8221; alternative, Mastodon</a>, by fellow social justice warriors.</p>
<p>Wheaton has long been a leading SJW voice, often supporting the practice of &#8220;de-platforming,&#8221; or denying a voice to people on social media who hold &#8220;controversial&#8221; views — that is, people who aren&#8217;t sufficiently progressive enough or dare to disagree with the progressive mainstream.</p>
<p>He left Twitter as part of the &#8220;#DeactiDay&#8221; protest, where prominent left-leaning &#8220;verified accounts&#8221; deleted their own accounts on the social network in order to force Twitter&#8217;s administration to boot InfoWars host Alex Jones (Jones is still on Twitter).</p>
<p>But since Wheaton couldn&#8217;t live without micro-blogging, he set up shop on Mastadon with his fellow SJWs, some of whom found Wheaton insufficiently social justice-y for the safe space network.</p>
<p><a href="http://according to the A.V. Club">According to the A.V. Club</a>, Wheaton, in the midst of a blocking frenzy several years ago, reportedly insisted his allies use a &#8220;block list&#8221; &#8220;created by a woman named Randi Harper — which, unbeknownst to him, contained a lot of users who were trans or supportive of trans voices. He also reportedly failed to side against his friend, &#8220;Talking Dead&#8221; host Chris Hardwick, when Hardwick was accused of abusing his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Dykstra.</p>
<p>Hardwick denied the allegations, and an investigation conducted by his employer, AMC network, could not substantiate Dykstra&#8217;s claims. Wheaton called the report of his anti-trans block list one of a &#8220;series of lies.&#8221;</p>
<p>After falling victim to the unfair call-out culture he often employed, Wheaton declared <a href="http://wilwheaton.net/2018/08/the-world-is-a-terrible-place-right-now-and-thats-largely-because-it-is-what-we-make-it/">in a post on his website</a> that he was leaving social media for good.</p>
<p>&#8220;I found a harsh reality that I’m still trying to process,&#8221; Wheaton wrote. &#8220;[T]housands of people who don’t know me, who have never interacted with me, who internalized a series of lies about me, who were never willing to give me a chance. I was harassed from the minute I made my account, and though I expected the &#8216;shut up wesley&#8217;s and &#8216;go fuck yourself&#8217;s to taper off after a day or so, it never did.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I don’t deserve to be treated so terribly by so many random people, so I’m not going to put myself in a place where I am subjected to it all day long,” he continued. “Please do your best to be kind, and make an effort to make the world less terrible.”</p>
