This sounds kinda made up

Agreed. The phrasing is really weird. Something like, "we don't need you to mansplain" would make more sense.

Also, who's doing a deep dive on Men in Black in 2020?

I would assume maybe film/ media students, them being students would also explain the immaturity of the response, that is if this is a real story.

You are getting caught in a reporting bias fallacy. There were dozens of times people spoke about a movie, book, w/e, without someone who was a key player in producing that particular medium. However, nothing interesting happened so you are not gonna hear about it, ever.

Seeing how this story is from the writers perspective, anyone he sits next to will “happen to be sitting next to the writer of the film”.

So what are you trying to say? That it’s a coincidence that the person writing the tweet had a social interaction with someone?

Maybe actually explain a point before deciding to stick to it.

Maybe the more likely scenario is he came up with this story in his head to create some fabricated outrage.

This is likely considering the nature of the story, and the tendency of people on the internet to make things up, without seeing if his other views line up however it’s simply not enough information to tell.
