Wow! @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 Wow, your tweet at 9 yo Quvenzhanéwas was not Onion worthy. No matter the context, this is a child. Unfollow till apology.

@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:
Just #unfollowed @Onion @OnionSports

Let me unfollow the folks who are making excuses for The Onion and then just get off Twitter.

Good call:
I would unfollow the Onion but I'm already not following them.
