I mean I guess it adds to the larger narrative that nazis will do anything to ruin someone’s career based on making off color jokes a long time ago. And find any kind of back logged “evidence” to use against them.

If Disney didn't already know about them Marvel probably isn't getting him back.

Scrap Dragon posted:The tweets that started this whole mess had also been around for years before they got dragged up again so Yeah and no one cared about them. And no one would’ve cared about them if a nazi (actual)rapist didn’t get a bug up his rear end to decide that insulting the great orange was something that’s worthy of career death.

This is my point that I'm doing a bad job of making. Scrap Dragon posted:The tweets that started this whole mess had also been around for years before they got dragged up again so Truth. TwoPair posted:Yeah no matter if he's apologized for them, I think once this (inevitably) becomes a bigger deal, it's the last nail in Gunn's coffin. I expect it will be impossible to spin them. It doesn't matter that it's a joke or Halloween costume. He's literally dressed as a pedo priest. Cernovich is probably throwing a party over these pics being resurfaced. Edit: You know, people have been saying that he apologized for these tweets 6 years ago but I have not seen anyone actually find proof that he acknowledged the tweets. Can anyone find that, a direct statement where he apologized for his Twitter, not his personal website?

We've got posters praising Nick Spencer's work in the Marvel threads, a dude with actual Nazi ties but man, don't dare link to the actual far right site.

That's kinda vague. That's a very different thing from Breitbart which is all about advancing the far right agenda in the present, anyway.

That article doesn't lend much support to the idea that enjoying Nick Spencer's comic writing is worse than linking to the latter day equivalent of Die Sturmer.

That article is about how an original article, that goes out of its way to say quote:Are you suggesting that Nick Spencer is a nazi? that *even that* is going too far in suggesting his proposals for broken-window policing shows "fascistic tendencies". Come on, man. All people said is don't give clicks to the nazi website. I really don't know why the existence of folks liking Spencer's lovely comics comes into this.

I know you remember Gunn from Myspace or whatever, but I don't think you need to scream down everything that isn't how badly Disney should rehire him. Even with the pictures, I wish this hadn't happened. I would rather have Gunn on G3 than not. However it is very not a good look to have this many different ways people can think of you as connected to pedophilia.

On a related note, they did change out Louis CK’s voice work on Gravity Falls for the Blu-ray that just came out. But he actually did something to many people.
