Seth Rogen gets Twitter backlash after mocking anti-Semitism activist

Seth Rogen caught backlash online after he waded into the controversial debate about the increased anti-Semitism on social media.

On Wednesday, the writer and actor replied to a tweet written by journalist Eve Barlow for Tablet Magazine in which she lamented the rise in anti-Semitism that many have experienced both online and in real life. She discussed a nickname trolls have given her online, "Eve Fartlow," as a way to talk about how much more scrutiny and harassment Jewish people have been experiencing.  Rogen simply responded to her tweet with a wind-blowing emoji. Although he didn’t provide more context, many inferred that he was taking a dig at the writer and using the very nickname her article was lamenting. The wind emoji is sometimes used to symbolize flatulence.  "Perhaps it was a form of digital waterboarding aimed at forcing me to surrender, delete all my accounts, log out of all my devices, and commit digital suicide," Barlow wrote in her piece.
