Robin Thicke's Planned Q&A Session On Twitter Flooded With Queries About Misogyny

VH1 tweeted Monday night to submit questions for singer Robin Thicke using the hashtag #AskThicke. People on Twitter took the opportunity to question his treatment of women.

Robin Thicke is planning to answer questions online Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. ET, so in preparation VH1 asked users to submit questions through a hashtag.

Have a burning question for @robinthicke? Submit your ?s for tomorrow's Twitter Q+A using #AskThicke!

The hashtag was quickly flooded with queries about his questionable treatment of women, both in the song "Blurred Lines" and in his relationship with his wife Paula Patton, who split with Thicke earlier this year.

It's not the first time a VH1 hashtag went awry; something similar happened to the rapper T.I. just last week.

Some people even enjoyed acknowledging what was happening with the hashtag itself:

The #askthicke hashtag is just an example of trolling done for the better good of mankind.

#askthicke is already a clusterfudge.

When Paula dumped you, was it 5 or 10 minutes before you decided to capitalize on it with your terrible music #AskThicke @robinthicke
