I think that what got the author fired was her im-not-a-hater i-was-drunk defense. You just don't forget AKF specially if Yana is mentioned, also use a Jared photo and tag. I don't care about that site or its articles but it was a funny thing to watch.
“A drunk mind speaks a sober heart" - Jean Rousseau
Alcohol doesn’t impair our ability to control our actions - it just makes us care less. Carol thought she had a free pass by claiming she was drunk on red wine. But by admitting she was drunk only cemented the fact that she deliberately excluded Jared and AKF from her article.
Researchers from the University of Missouri, led by Professor Bruce Bartholow, asked participants to drink alcohol before completing error recognition tasks on a computer. They measured their responses using brain patterns and self-reporting. Those who drank alcohol were as aware as a placebo and sober group that they were making a mistake, but the research discovered that they cared less. Alcohol doesn’t inhibit our ability to know what we’re doing, but instead it inhibits our inability to feel guilt, remorse or shame about it. Additionally, it suggests drink makes people more honest and less likely to hold back out of fear of the consequences.
So a drunk Carol didn’t care that she excluded Jared and AFK, this was backed up by her early tweets (when she was still drunk), she fought with fangirls and dismissed their complaints over article instead of owing her “mistakes”; meanwhile MTTG was apologizing to fangirls and promising to rectify the issue. Only after Carol sobered up that the full weight of the consequence caught up to her. She spammed her own TL with pro Jared tweets and pinned her Jared P.O story to the top. Oh Carol, you tried. But fangirls have 8 years of Destiel Minion fandom behavior history to recognize the bullshit you tried to pull.
