Step 1: Unfollow @TheOnion. Step 2: Email their editors. Step 3: Bum rush their FB page. Step 4: Stop reading. Maybe then they'll listen.

Awesomely Luvvie (@Luvvie) February 25, 2013Wow! @TheOnion was completely inappropriate. Why would you think attacking a child under the guise of satire is ok? #misogyny #unfollow—

Please, unfollow @TheOnion. I'm no prude, you all know that. It wasn't just offensive or in bad taste. It was perverse. #unfollowtheonion—

@TheOnion I will unfollow you. Don't want to be associated with that type of mindless, pointless, and offensive humor.—

The backlash in response to The Onion’s outrageous slime against 9-year-old actress Quvenzhané Wallis is just getting started. Twitter users across the political spectrum have begun calling for e-mail protests and unfollow campaigns.
Just make sure you are unfollowing the correct account:

I’m pretty certain there will be no apology forthcoming from The Onion. The unfollow button isn’t hard to use, ya know?—
