Needless to say, this was more than enough to (rightly) send social media over the edge:

August 12, 10:12Nna eh, they should simply stop saying ‘Be a man’, instead they should say ‘Be an inanimate object’. We’d understand that better. Mstchew.
By the way I saw ‘casual homophobia’ from @WayneDavid… Is that a thing? Do we now have stages?
