Free to roam the heavens in man's noble quest to investigate the weirdness of the universe!

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?

I guess the root question I have is why the gently caress does anyone use Twitter, especially when it expressly offers preferential service and protections to Nazis?

Remember 10 years ago when we didn't live in a country where Nazis were rising in power? Man, good times.

Also, he already owned up to that stuff years ago. How often, exactly, is one meant to re-up their ownership of jokes made in bad taste?

Apologies need to be renewed every 10 years, like a driver's license. Duh.

People need to stop looking at everything through a political lens.

Why?

We regret to inform you that Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland will not be directing Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

Michael Rooker also quit Twitter in disgust iirc, but unless there are flashback sequences, I doubt he's coming back for Guardians 3.

The natural evolution of Disney decision making would be to replace James Gunn with a completely uncontroversial director, like Victor Silva.

Is Cernovich the one who comes from plantation money?

That's Spencer, unless they both do.

This doesn't relate to Hollywood, but it relates to Marvel. They fired one of their Star Wars (comics) writers for calling shitheads such as convicted felon Dinesh D'souza and Ben Shapiro shitheads.
