Marvel's Avengers Spokesperson Removed After Offensive Tweets Unearthed

It’s a tale as old as Twitter itself: Person says stupid, offensive stuff in the past, person comes to prominence, old tweets get dug up, person apologizes, the internet holds court. The whole performance has just taken place once again, this time featuring Crystal Dynamics’ spokesperson and game design lead on Marvel’s Avengers, Brian Waggoner.

 

As Rock Paper Shotgun reports, over the weekend a bunch of old tweets by Waggoner were unearthed, which today led to his apologizing, and Crystal Dynamics following up to say how disappointed they are, and that they’re taking away Waggoner’s spokesperson status. Now all involved, having followed the prescribed script, are presumably hoping it’ll go away.
