It would have been interesting to see what sort of things they said.

While you probably shouldn't drink and tweet, many are very capable of tweeting...unadvisable things without being drunk or ever drinking at all.

I'm too busy to look for it right now, but there was a series of screenshots of the tweets on a page that I saw last night. I'll see if I can find them later. I'm pretty sure they should still be there unless the site was kind enough to remove them. The actual content of the tweets, from what I could gather(they weren't translated) was mostly sexual and awkward comments about a horse licking one of the character's faces.

There are screenshots of what had been said on twitter, lol. But anyway, I don't believe the guy was drunk tweeting any of that considering how concisely worded the tweets were and the fact that he not only changed his username but bio before deleting the account after being called out. Would a drunk person have thought to do that? He knew what he was doing.

Well...This should serve as a reminder to drink responsibly...
Hopefully this has all blown over by now and Takuro-san still retains his occupation.

That statement could apply especially to when manga and light novels ideas are being pitched. Honestly, there are times where manga/LN synopses sound like someone was drunk.

You're telling me it's impossible that he was drunk at the time of sending those tweets and sober afterwards when modifying/deleting his account? Concise response please.
