Its different.... James Gunn, they dug out something he did in the past as a stupid youth. Roseanne got canned for her actions while on payroll.
I've read on le reddit they did it because he tried to do the same tactic with digging up past shit on someone else earlier? Is it true?n0razi said:Its different.... James Gunn, they dug out something he did in the past as a stupid youth. Roseanne got canned for her actions while on payroll.
Enygger_Tzu The great thing about the English word "pedophile" is that it only has one definition and that definition is as follows:
a person who is sexually attracted to children.
Now I'm sure that you Enygger_Tzu a patron Saint of a person has never made an inappropriate joke about anything remotely taboo, but regardless of that you would still be wrong in your accusation!
Because nothing that Mr. Gunn has done has given any impression that he is in any way the description above...

You even have n-word pass in your nickname, I'm jealous !
Youth? Wasn’t the dude in his 30s when he said that. Saying youth is a bit of a stretch? And if he apologized and regretted that, why leave them up to be dug up. Not sure the guy was very smart and could have avoided this drama.
Not only that but the “jokes” weren’t even funny. I get they were supposed to be dark humor but they weren’t even funny.
Either way. The whole outrage deal is tiring at this point. People everywhere just need to chill out.
I guess Disney caved because they couldn't find another director for the movie.
If you’re in your 30s making pedophilia jokes on Twitter I’m going to go out on a limb and say there’s something misfiring upstairs. You could cull the internet history of a lot of people and I think you’d be unlikely to find anything like that. That said, he apologized and hasn’t actually done anything as far as anyone knows. As far as GOTG I thought the first was quite good but the second I thought was pretty terrible.
Am I in the minority that loved the second one? I thought it was awesome, watched it probably 5x at least
Second one definitely had the most emotional scene out of the two movies.
Is your avatar Snookie? I’ve been trying to figure out who that is
Ariana Marie. And yes, you can bet she is a certain type of star.
Its possibly my favorite MCU flick. It took a few viewings for me to really appreciate it though.Am I in the minority that loved the second one? I thought it was awesome, watched it probably 5x at least

That Yondu scene taking everyone out was awesome.
Not saying you are saying this but he didn’t do shit. People hunting through past of people need to be made examples but not the people.I wasn't expecting to see that.
Thinking about the implications, its a second chance. Wether you agreed with what he did or not, its interesting to see. Now will they rehire Roseanne? lol.
If anything this may set a good example that people change or shouldn't be held to past mistakes. Maybe some of the wackos that are always after people for past mistakes will see this and think about it but probably not.
I didn't understand his past tweets and parties and I was pretty disturbed by them, at the same time they were known of before he got hired. It was a wacky situation. And if someone really does change they should have removed those tweets years ago.
They are two different things but I don’t think Roseanne tweet was racist because I didn’t know the lady was black either. But seriously insulting people online with a blue chip is going to destroy careers. Glad Gunn is back.Normally, I'm opposed to outrage culture, but the shit this guy tweeted really, and I mean really, didn't sit well with me at all. And for him to be part of Disney? I'm surprised at the about-face. Borderline shocked.
If he's back, fine, their choice, but now Roseanne has to be given a second chance. I think it's safe to say that pedophiles are worse than racists.
Good.
We need more pushback against this outrage culture that companies are caving to in order to save face.

This kinda support my idea that it was all faked just to take time and let the outrage calm down.Reports says Feige never looked for another director in the first place.
Yes and now. Gunn's was forgiven only because he's "on the right side".Good.

I don’t think Roseanne should have been fired but tweets from 10 years ago do not equal tweets from five minutes ago. Don’t lump me in with the far left leaning of the internet please. I don’t think anything anyone said 10 years ago in a book or internet should be the same as physical action against someone or saying something present day.Has personal responsibility gone out the window?
To a degree. He brought it on himself. You and others are most focused on blaming others for his situation. But what happened here was totally on him. Had he not posted very very questionable tweets or just deleted them after he realized it was a mistake the people hunting for it wouldn’t have the ammo. Instead they were left up and when they are brought up people are more angry at someone exposing them than the fact they were there in the first place. So in a way, yes you’re right, he didn’t do shit.
I believe this was a response from the Roseanne debacle. Which is interesting to see the responses from the people who didn’t agree with Gunn getting fired cheered her firing.
I do agree with you that this whole culture of getting people fired is out of hand. Society is so focused on attacking everyone for everything they have lost nuance. People say dumb shit. They shouldn’t have their lives ruined for an honest mistake or past issues.
Hopefully people start chilling out soon but I doubt it. In the meantime, just give me GOTG3.

right....which is why he then deleted his tweets right?Gunn had apologized before he was even hired by Disney.
Amazing lack of intelligence here. He apologized years prior to ever working on marvel movies.
He hasn't done the same shit over and over. But don't let your cluelessness get in the way of facts. It's fun watching you spin and pretend that you're the arbiter of sincerity. Bahhaharight....which is why he then deleted his tweets right?
Oh wait, he didn't. In facty he made even more tweets, and did even more stupid shit. because he was so "sorry".
Stop being gullible.
My God you're an fool.
He has apologized multiple times for during the same shit over and over. His apologies aren't sincere. How much more obvious can this be?

Because that’s who started it and actually cares about it. Mainstream Conservatives could give two shits about 10 year old Gunn tweets.This needs to become a trend. I second bribing back Roseanne's show and Danny Masterson in The Ranch.
Why are you guys so obsessed and bent out of shape over the alt-right? Most of the complaints are about conservatives and not actual ethnocentric degenerates. It has nothing to do with them.

Citation needed, although I agree. If he was an actual pedophile then it'd be another story. Forgive me for being clueless, but what were their issues about it? Because pedophilia was clearly not what they would be outraged about.Because that’s who started it and actually cares about it. Mainstream Conservatives could give two shits about 10 year old Gunn tweets.

Please don't put Roseanne in the same breath as James Gunn. What Roseanne did and continues to do is 100x worse.
Yeah....he made immature jokes about rape and pedophilia in a blog post, he later made immature jokes about rape and pedophilia in a ton of tweets.He hasn't done the same shit over and over. But don't let your cluelessness get in the way of facts. It's fun watching you spin and pretend that you're the arbiter of sincerity. Bahhaha
Not even close.Please don't put Roseanne in the same breath as James Gunn. What Roseanne did and continues to do is 100x worse.
In other words, Gunn’s quiet and straightforward handling of the entire situation, combined with the Hollywood establishment’s continued support of him, turned the tide in his favor.
