Fart City posted:Thanks for making a thread for this, Hat Thoughts. Conan made a brony pedo joke on this year's comic con show. The joke ended with something like: "adults that shouldnt be next to children" Anyone would know what it implies. And anyone with no brain worms can see it was a political motivated attack on gunn's persona. Btw, they tried to dig some dirty joke tweets on lloyd kaufman and it was hilarious. Like...he is literally troma.

GrandpaPants posted:This isn't Hollywood, but I can't help but feel that the idea started with Arenanet firing two devs (Summary here: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-07-06-arenanet-fires-two-guild-wars-2-writers-over-twitter-exchange-with-youtuber). While I don't think anyone had the intent to get these two devs fired, it did show how conservative companies were to preserve the fragile feelings of their (mostly male) fanbase, even when those devs weren't necessarily acting as representatives of Arenanet, to the extent that talking poo poo back to someone being a dick is grounds for termination? Ugh, I remember that. And right after the devs where fired they went on the hunt of more devs to get fired (mostly female, they targeted a lot of them). Thankfully they stumbled with some companies who sided with their workers and others who just laughed and threw their complains to the trashcan. Unless filming companies don't show some cojones to not immediately side with people who are clearly not concerned about anything and just wish to harm an individual , there's gonna be a lot more of drama on the near future.

Plastik posted:It was bad PR because of the implications intended in the original dump. I can't imagine anyone, Disney employee or not, saying "Welp he made some lovely jokes ten years ago, gotta fire him". They fired him because there's now a document that exists that supports (in an alarmingly specious way) the notion that he's a pedophile, the American Nazis' black mark of choice for the moment, and Disney wanted to get out ahead of this idea. The he is a pedophile for making edgy jokes and anyone who supports him is a pedophile is a narrative the pro-trump squad of people, conservative "moms" and bots are using. If you buy that, then congrats you are hella gullible and the type of person they would love to have around. And if that would be the case I'm a baby killer and a cancerous cell in someone's colon because of some edgy jokes I made a fuckton of years ago.

In an alternate universe Disney sued Mike Cernovich to oblivion and now he lives in a sewer, Gunn was given 4 more movies, Climate change was stopped and we all live in happiness and peace.

Ramen Pride! posted:In my opinion Disney still has a way to fix this. Ugh. Im gonna skip the movie then. Sounds like is gonna be a mess (actors showing up just because is in their contracts is a big red sign for me).

Alhazred posted:Gunn had even brought up the tweets himself a year before this and apologized for tjenesten. This. Disney knew since he was hired, people on twitter actually called him out on his tweets years ago, he later apologized. He apologized again in interviews. And again when this poo poo show was brought on him, and again and again and again...and I'm sure he keeps apologizing to this day. The thing is that he wasn't back paddling like many other shitlords do. He acknowledged he was an rear end, the severity of his tweets and actually tried to do something about it.
