Uhh, what? I'm not sure how closely you followed it, but did you miss the part where he replied to Kane, deleted it, and replied to the Kane again 3 days later? How would that be consistent with a PA? That's classic drunken tweet regret. Also, why wouldn't Kane's twitter have followed him back weeks earlier if this was all a Hawks PR thing? People putting forth this theory a) don't want him to be likable or b) don't want him to be dislikable (by talking to Kane).

Yeah, people try to make things more complicated than they actually are. And I think that a lot of people here are charmed by the weirdness of his twitter account and hate that fact since on meme anything Hawks related=evil.

I think a lot of the problem does tend to stem from the black-and-white view I've seen a lot of people hold on the Internet nowadays. Yeah, Toews can have shitty ideas about sexual assault and be doing coke and still be a pretty funny dude sometimes. People who hold ideas you disagree with aren't going to go around with that idea stamped on their forehead or be an evil strawman for you to hate all the time.

That being said, the weirdness of his feed makes me miss when Jonathan Quick used to tweet things because my overwhelming response to that was pure, unabashed joy. Here was this dude that generally didn't like attention talking about the rabbits that had been fucking in his backyard. It was truly a loss I grieved over at length.

Yep, that's exactly it. The idea that everyone who disagrees with you, even on a substantive issue like sexual assault, is inherently evil to the core, is something that people like to cling to because it's easy.

Also: does anyone seriously give a fuck about the cocaine (3+ years ago)? Is that really a pedestal people on this meme are standing on? Because by many accounts, it's not uncommon in the NHL. I don't really give a fuck about Toews, but that's the last thing I'd condemn him for.

I think it's easy to point at the coke thing. I don't like it (or any drugs), but he's squarely in the demographic where I'd expect widespread social use. It's not even on the list of things I'd criticize him for.

DA

Yeah, cocaine is one of those things where I have zero interest in it, but as long as you don't let it take over your life or pressure others to use it, I'm mostly just going to shrug.

That's kind of my feelings on drug use too? Like, do whatever you want in your free time as long as it doesn't start fucking up your life or other people's lives.
