The Onion Calls 9 year Old Oscar Nominee Quvenzhané Wallis A “C*nt”
THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, while The Onion is known for its satire and unusually crude commentary, they took it one step too far on Sunday evening when they took to social media platform Twitter, calling 9 year old Oscar nominee, Quvenzhané Wallis, a “c*nt.” To The Onion, SHAME ON YOU. This was, quite possibly, the biggest night of that little girl’s life and you used it as a way to get re-tweets on Twitter. Calling a kid names is verbal abuse, plain and simple. The only “c*nt” here is the asshole who wrote that tweet in the first place.
Children are off limits. Let’s hope they issue an apology.- nik
I’m officially done with The Onion. This was reaching and quite desperate on their part.
You shouldn’t call a little girl a cunt but she definitely has some attitude. Im glad she lost, she seems like she will grow up to be a shitty person
Wtf
Tweets like this are very calculated. They know what they’re doing. The sad part is, it works.
Maybe the girl was a cunt, ever think of that?
It’s called SATIRE. Nik, when did your readers turn in to such pussies?
There’s nothing satirical about bullying a nine year old little girl, you cunt.
Ed, you don’t know the difference between satire and just plain crossing the line. I am sure if someone said something like this about your kid/kids if you have any, you panties would be up in a wad. So don’t be a hypocrite with you comment.
Looks like a bunch of people have their panties in a bunch haha.
Oh Jesus all the twats getting pissy about a tweet issued by a fictional, satirical “news source” need to lighten up… the sheer stupidity of taking the onion seriously completely negates what the onion is.
DMCA filed as you failed to source us even though our link was submitted when we sent this to you.
I see a lot of people defending this tweet on other sites. The joke is not funny. It’s not satirical by any means (for those who think otherwise, invest in a dictionary please). I agree with Nik, kids should be off limits. She’s a little girl. Let her be a kid.
And yeah, Onion issued an apology but like Knox mentioned, this is so very calculated. They knew what they were doing and what response they would get.
I love when people take the onion seriously haha
just because its the onion doesnt make it right…
no it was not satire, it was not funny, it was a turn off and disgusting….it will just make this good little actress even more popular….maybe that was the whole point.
Extremely out of line. Agreed. Children are off limits.
Who cares, it’s just a kid.
This is the first time I ever heard of The Onion. Must not have been that popular in the first place.
Lighten up , melodramatics
People defending The Onion are peddo’s who obviously abuse children….true fact!
Quvenzhane is a cunt. Stupid kid should know her role. Get out in the field n pick some cotton.
