A quick wikipedia check says he was making jokes about rape and pedophilia, which, uh, nope. But kowtowing to Cernovich is also pretty, uh, nope. I dunno, just don't milkshake duck the Russos please.

the dude started by working at troma, there's probably going to be some dark humor in his past this poo poo is stating to feel puritanical, and that it's being led by a living poo poo like cernovich makes the whole thing a gigantic pile of hypocritical bullshit to begin with

Those tweets were found years ago and he apologized and owned up to them as terrible products of an edgelord troma kid who thought he was being clever.

obviously resurfacing them was done in bad faith but the posts also were bad edit: also james gunn himself is already unfathomably rich and therefore will never suffer any serious consequences otherwise associated with getting fired so genuinely who cares other than disney shareholders, who probably should be mad because in addition to the thing i said up there, lmao folding to mike cernovich?? saffi faildotter fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jul 21, 2018 |

alright. i looked into it and based on those tweets billy gunn really likes to do horrible unspeakable things in real life that get people murdered in prison. he put a lot of those things in his movies so he could jack it off; that dick. thankfully it looks like he has no children, probably due to his urges

it's ok. i think they're pretty disgusting things to say except for Jerkloose which i laughed at. and a couple of others. but them being deleted + already apologized for before he even directed galaxy 1, + years of not saying any crap like that. just adds a wrinkle to it all. add in nazis and it's quite the mess

if you say or do a lovely thing you first have to own up to it and then you have to demonstrate your willingness to undo it in some form or fashion. I thought James had already taken care of all that to everyone's satisfaction but I guess Disney shareholders are a different breed.

I like that there is one theory that Marvel was looking for any reason to fire Gunn because they hate "auteurs" and want movies directed by nobodies who listen to Feige and direct in the Marvel House Style.

Yeah that really doesn't match up. Antman and the Wasp, fun as it was, may have been generically directed but Black Panther and Ragnarok were definitely highly stylized affairs with their directors given a ton of freedom to make the films they wanted.

The fact of the matter is: every single person in the world has done or said something stupid, lovely, or repulsive. Decent people realize that and change and grow. (e.g. most people) lovely people just keep being lovely and bad and don’t realize the scope of why they’re lovely (e.g. Hogan, Roseanne) James Gunn doesn’t seem to fall in that latter category. So I hope he pulls through. Also gently caress Mike Cernovich. Fuckin beady eyed oval office.

idk man. by 100% of accounts he's done everything "right" according to performative outrage people (which i'm one of). his multiple apologies over the years for the same things have always come off as completely sincere, with years of actual evidence towards being a changed person. obviously they're disgusting jokes but idk. when someone reforms and does things the right way and is still ousted cause of alt-right nonsense it's a worse taste in my mouth than making kidfucking jokes.

People and particularly corporations are still so new to the idea of social brigading as an online tactic that they haven't yet figured out how to not panic and put social context to the thing instead of knee-jerk reacting, and the first, most important bit of that context is always "who is instigating this and why," and when the answers are "Mike Cernovich" and "because he wants more people to contribute to his patreon so he can fund his Rape Is A Fake Idea World Tour 2019" and you're a company the size of loving Disney you should probably figure out that you're going to eat more poo poo for kowtowing than you would by just ignoring him. i mean, it'd be cool if the question could instead be "what is the ethically correct thing to do" but, being Disney, that hasn't mattered for a long time

Fire the South Park guys, they made jokes in bad taste at times and it's probably a red flag or whatever lets just do what loving Mike Thernovich says when he has proven to actually hold evil beliefs

making jokes about loving children in an industry rampant with pedophilia is a far cry from south park which is satirizing other people (if poorly) rather than making the joke themselves. yeah the people that caused this movement are hot burning garbage who should all be launched into the sun but that doesn't take away what gunn did.

gunn didn't do poo poo and you could probably rally against the real problem in the industry instead of a guy who started in schlock independent movies outside the system making bad jokes when he was nowhere near the hollywood elite that are the actual cause of the systematic abuse. ESPECIALLY when he's already apologized time and time again because, gently caress it, aren't we all allowed to make a lovely joke. Just have him make a big public apology again unless he committed an actual crime or... i don't know, did it when he knew better after he had apologized a million times and has shown time and time again it was in bad taste AGAIN this is #FireTevorNoah all over again Big Coffin Hunter fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Jul 21, 2018 |

i think you should be allowed to joke about anything, as long as you're funny. but if you tell a weird joke that isn't funny, your life is destroyed and you lose everything you've ever had, you are completely and utterly annihilated and exiled from society, you are stripped of your rights, dignity, and name, and made to live as a beast in the wilderness
