No goalpost moving. You were comparing jokes done by comedians with the tweets.

Social media isn't work but is used as a marketing tool and a way for companies to interact with fans. When you got your company's name in your bio or, like in Gunn's case, have a promotional picture of the film you are working on in your header and tweet updates about the film, you are representing that brand. And the company that controls that brand are well in their right to hand down any disciplinary action they see fit when you post something that can tarnish that brand.

I had a coworker get in trouble for something they posted while having the company's name in his bio.

I doubt Disney were even thinking about checking a person's Twitter back in 2012 let alone searching back to 2008. They are a film company and they would look at a person's filmography instead online activity. Also Marvel Studios would've been the ones hiring not Disney themselves.

I don't see what past movies have to do with anything. Just because someone made some r rated movies with crude humor doesn't mean that person can't make a pg-13 film that's meant to be suitable for the family. You bring up he used the dirty dozen(which is a great film) as the pitch...okay lol I'm sure he meant the overall premise and not that the guardians would be made up as rapists and shyt.

Either way, its only happening because of the SJW's and #Metoo movements. Disney didn't care that he prattled off on Twitter, till currently. Even then, a person's social media account should remain mutually exclusive to their work.


My point with bringing up his pitch, was that he quoted a completely dark/fukked up movie to work on a kiddie film. They've always known he was a character, and especially cheeky one at that.

'Avengers,' 'Black Panther' cast members unfollow director James Gunn on Twitter



Sounds like Civil War II is on the horizon :mjgrin:

Avengers vs Guardians :banderas:
I think the black actors better understand the implications of keeping this dude in the fold. If you can forgive pedo jokes on twitter, than you will likely be forced to forgive racist jokes as well. Nobody wants Roseanne to get her job back, just because you threw your support behind James Gunn. You gotta stand by your morals even if the dude is your friend. They both said something very offensive on twitter and got fired. leave it at that. Otherwise you put the black panther cast in a situation where they have to quit a film in order to save face, if it were to come out that some producer said the N word and got to stay on the project.

*10,000 racist tweets using the n-word, encouraging police brutality, calling blacks monkeys*

It was just poor attempt at humor :troll:

With the tweets revealed he would be the perfect person to write Batman and Robin dialogue. :mjlit:
oh god, that just made me realize the amount of meme's that would be made about the next Guardian's movie if he was allowed to direct.
:snoop: his whole situation might cause it to flop, or even get boycotted if he directs.

I hope y'all don't support family guy.
This is such a terrible straw man comparison that holds absolutely no weight. I have no idea why people keep reaching for it. It’s so disingenuous.

James Gunn wasn’t a goddamn cartoon character. He was a grown man in his 40s just saying pedophile shyt.

Family guy is written by men in the 40s.

:dead:

Do you think Roger rabbit is real.
I hope his wife is.

Props to family guy though because you just think of the character as a real thing not that a team of writers and animators but in 100s of hours to make a pedo joke.
I guess the real crime is it just was not funny.
