Ah, the internet, where your past mistakes are forever etched into the digital ether, waiting to resurface at the worst possible moment. Comedian Tanmay Bhat, known for his wit, irreverence, and more recently, his impressive weight loss transformation, is learning this lesson the hard way. While everyone was applauding his newfound fitness, the dark side of the internet decided to dig up some skeletons—old tweets, to be precise.
And let's just say, those tweets did not age well. A post shared by Tanmay Bhat (@tanmaybhat) You know the drill: when you’re a celeb, your past is never really in the past. Tanmay’s cringeworthy tweets, which made tasteless jokes about kids and religion, have now resurfaced, and Twitter (or X, as we’re calling it these days) is having a field day.
Sure, freedom of speech exists, but netizens are quick to point out that freedom comes with consequences. One particularly scathing tweet summed it up perfectly, "The Tanmay Bhatt tweets issue is a reminder that even as free speech absolutist (as I believe I am), one must accept that there are practical limits to free speech. Technically his tweets aren't hate speech.
Neither are they threats. Nor slander. But they are fucking SICK .
..!!!" Ouch.
Imagine getting roasted this hard by someone who claims to be a free speech advocate. The Tanmay Bhatt tweets issue is a reminder that even as free speech absolutist (as I believe I am), one must accept that there are practical limits to free speech. Technic.
