Combing through the ol' Inbox and I came across this email I had in my overloaded Sent box. It was an interesting twitter conversation I had kind of poked my head in on. The twitter name that begins each tweet is the writer of that tweet. If there is a second line starting with "@" and then a twitter name, that means the first one is talking directly to the second name. (I know, clear as mud, huh?) I am the account called @GoosesTile.
I might make a video in response to @kat_blaque on 'Gay For Play' actors. What do you think?
Should straight actors play gay characters? Even if it takes away roles from LGB performers?
(this tweet is followed by a poll)
34%Yes.
I highlighted my two word clues, of which there were two. 1) The word "erm" (another derivative would be "eh"), a term you receive quite often when someone is snarking at you on a blog or in a Tumblr ask and can be translated to: "you dumbass". 2) the phrase "random headcanon". From Wiktionary: defined as "Elements and interpretations of a fictional universe accepted by an individual fan, but not found within or supported by the official canon".
This twitter conversation seemed like a total set-up to me. How did I stumble upon it? By simply searching "Jake Gyllenhaal" on twitter. Notice none of their other tweets contained his name, except for this one: "did the fact Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger went home and banged their gfs". See that? That's what you call a simple "het" plant.
A little bit of subliminal social media nonsense. Over the years, Jake's search has been salt and peppered with these whether by word or by picture. With this particular conversation, it took no time at all to flush them out. :-)
Just a little sleuthing 101.
