Fair. Dan Harmon isn't going to be fired for making a gross crude joke in the past which he deleted on a network that aired this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAU_Ez84l4c

That Deadpool joke was in the earliest leaked draft I had which I think happened around 2009ish.

I really get slightly annoyed when you say 10 years wasn’t that long ago. The world was so much different than what it was today. The culture has shifted so far from then that it’s still completely alien to a lot of people. The stuff that was considered high comedy then is super cringy and outdated by today’s standards.

Hangover 2 has an extended transgendered rape joke that’s played for laughs, tons of racist humor (I think? I barely remember that movie, it was so awful), and jokes at the expense of the mentally ill. Jack and Jill was filled with really cruel racist and gay jokes as most Sandler films are. 30 Minutes or Less would flat out not exist today at all. I just glanced at the 2011 comedies list but what we found funny then is a hard flip to now. Being edgy was the cool thing to do. It was to stick it to those “pc people” for tying to stamp on our jokes. Voices weren’t heard yet. It was just liberals yelling into the void instead of the people who were actually bothered and oppressed. It wasn’t until the rape culture talk came out that rape jokes have been pretty much wiped out for the most part

I brought that up in the last thread. Family Guy also had a ton of nasty rape jokes, and MacFarlane was a character in Sing.

Basebf555 posted:If you're an entertainer of any kind, and you're on Twitter making jokes, it's the same as if you're on stage being recorded. Anyone who didn't realize that ten years ago was an idiot. I'm glad you lived 10 years ahead of 10 years ago, but most people didn't. A lot of stand up comedians used smaller sets to test out jokes to weed out which ones worked and which ones don't. Then people started to record them and that hosed it all up. I think that's a bit lovely considering one of the hardest parts of being a creative is figuring out what works and what doesn't. You need to test it out on other people to see if it clicks or it's just trash. That BEING said, if some nasty michael richards poo poo was going on, then yeah. recording is good and justified.

Basebf555 posted:If Disney had a problem with the tweets in 2008 they shouldn't have hired him, agreed. But also, Gunn was an idiot. That is to say, if he's going to act like an innocent victim here, he's an idiot. But I've not seen a statement from him indicating that yet, so maybe he understands that this is just how the game is played. Yo my dude he issued an apology where he put all the blame on himself.

I'm sure he could defend himself against Mike, but uh, he didn't really have a chance too? And why post stuff like that? I dunno! I can't tell you. Why do people poo poo post? Most of the time it isn't funny. Perhaps it's just to let off some steam. Be as nasty as possible channeling the extreme to a point of catharsis?

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:In what way is he restricted from defending himself? Disney fired him. That ends it there. It's like defending yourself after someone shoots you in the face. You're already dead. Although, I don't know what kind of defense you mean. Like defending the jokes? I don't think James is that evil to do that.

And Rian Johnson deleted a lot of tweets too. Which is pretty smart. The site is wondering why someone would do that, despite Johnson not being much of a edgy guy. https://movieweb.com/star-wars-director-rian-johnson-delete-20-thousand-tweets/ The answer is, who cares. Kill all that poo poo.

I think it's going to be fairly interesting when Guardians 3 comes out and everyone is like "These aren't the guardians." They asked Gunn to help write the Guardians scenes in Infinity War by the way. They didn't ask Cargil or Derrickson to write the Doctor Strange parts. Or the thousands of writers who did Homecoming to write the Spider-Man parts. They asked Gunn because they knew how without him, there is no Guardians. So good luck Disney.

Hat Thoughts posted:Yeah but what's the end goal here - u know? Should Disney hire back James Gunn if they don't fire Johnny Depp? If they do fire Johnny Depp does that mean they're no longer hypocritical & don't need to hire James Gunn back? You can argue an ethical standard on this stuff all u want but they're never going to act in a morally consistent way because that will never ever be the way decisions are made or something they care about. Fire everyone and make movies with computers

Not really. He's seems to be one of the more hated people in pop entertainment, constantly being harassed by angry star wars fans, AND he works for disney. He probably just purged it to be safe. I think him and Gunn might be friends IRL? All these people tend to hang out with each other so who knows. Better to be safe than sorry.

It reminds me of the Friends list thing Myspace used to have, where who you put first and last (or not at all) showed how much you "cared" about that person. When I was 14 I knew a friendship was up when he removed me from the close friends list lol.

Who did Disney think they hired when they hired James Gunn? Did they just watch Scooby Doo and say "Yeah sure that fella"? They weren't aware of the tweets lmao.

The only one in that list that actually matters is Pratt. Since they could easily replace voice actors, and the fate of Gamora hasn't been solved yet.
