I have to admit this is a misstep and bad look from the outside. I'm very liberal leaning in my politics and even i'm like. Umm guys maybe we should take this L and not mention it? We literally just fired Roseanne for saying something offensive on twitter and congratulated each other. This makes us look very Hypocritical. Now everytimes some cac says something racist, they can pull the same card and be like, you forgave a pedo but you can't forgive an a$$hole? Let this guy go to the wolves and choose a better battle to fight.
Exactly!

They have no hint of situational awareness.:dwillhuh:


Like, these HORRIFIC jokes aren’t the hill to die on guys.

There are countless think pieces already on why this guy should get his job back :gucci:


Hollywood is Arrogant and Clueless.

And nothing was learned. Can't wait to see who the next person the outrage mob pounces on is. Whole time this bullshyt been going on people have been doing whataboutisms on other people like Johnny Depp trying to get them fired too. Sounding like Kobe when he snitched on Shaq.

This shyt is just round 475683 of the social media fight between the left and the right. If anybody else brought this to the light Gunn would have been let go and that would have been the end of it but since bored as nikkas on the left live for their keyboard war with other bored ass nikkas on the right this became about not letting the right score a point. Pathetic shyt.

2 different situations. Gunn was fired for shyt he said 10 years ago and hasn't made jokes like that since. Rosanne was fired for shyt she had JUST tweeted. Current behavior vs past behavior. Plus Gunn's tweet were bad jokes meant to be laughed at. Roseanne's tweet was an insult that's meant to hurt.

Also I think it's a lil weird that people think Gunn's jokes were so irredeemable, when at the height of Family Guy's popularity, one of their popular reaccuring characters was Mr Herbert. A dude who's only gimmick was being a pedo, but no one is coming at Seth McFarlene's head.

:russ: pretty much. They were about to let majority of the og cast go after the first Avengers cause they had they hands out asking for a little bit more money after they grossed a billion, what kind of leverage do they think they got. This ain't DC where they letting folks show up to work with moustaches. They get to talking to reckless and be reading on TMZ right along with us how Danny McBride been in the weight room and is the new Starlord.
:dead: at how true this is

I think the reason that Disney is reconsidering the move at all is because the offending tweets were "exposed" in bad faith. Meaning that the alt right shythead wasn't so much concerned about the potential paedophile activities of Gunn but was more so trying to prove a point in an internet argument. Also, Gunn got a slap on the wrist for these same Tweets several years back. So combined it looks like Disney doesn't really care about the implications of the tweets, just the backlash. All on the word of an alt right shyttle who doesn't care about the implications, just wanted a scalp in the ongoing culture war. None of the parties seem actually concerned with the pedo implications. Also I don't think they expected the cast to stick up for Gunn the way they have so they feel forced to at least revisit the situation. Doesn't mean he'll be rehired though.

I didn't expect this at all :leon:



Damn when i saw the cast of guardians starting to show support i knew it would be a power move since disney cant really fire the whole cast or replace them because its the chemistry of them all tht works so u cant just replace them.

Now the other side is that they all risk tanking the franchise because people were going in on the comments of prat and bautista so if disney folds to bring him back only to kill the franchise then they all fukked

Mr Herbert was played fun laughs and was explicit. Gunn made tweets that had no punch line or anything comedic.
Time frame doesn't matter he still has to answer for what he wrote
