I don’t want to seriouspost about the capeshit movie man but these people who think firing Gunn was too far would leave all their pearls unclutched if he was on the “enemy” team
I think firing people for dumb shit they say is stupid but I can easily understand why disney, a company that often caters to children, would fire a guy for joking about raping boys and linking videos of “100 pubescent girls touching themselves”
Firing James Gunn after a decade of watching him become more progressive and empathetic - with his storytelling reflecting that - is telling young men there’s no reason to try to be better.
oh wow. I was gonna comment on another thread about this that I saw one or two retards saying that "this is rich. fox news, the network that is totes racist, are being the good guys? ok lmao" and I kinda brushed aside because nobody cares. but damn, they are really saying this. Live by the outrage culture, die by the outrage culture.
The same thing happened with a utuber a few days ago. He was viewed as a level headed guy, kinda silly sometimes. He had more than 2 million subs. But then they discovered some tweets, calling trannies trannies, saying the rapes dead people, retarded stuff like this. Being edgy for the sakes of being edgy. And then he lost his sponsors, people saying "well see I ALWAYS KNEW ITTTTT"
the Right has learned to weaponize the Left against itself. Gleefully.
Idk if the right has really learned to do this efficiently. But I've said all along that this strategy could basically kill the "woke" left as a cultural force.

You're oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion.

It's almost as if no one is actually offended by off-color jokes

If you removed the twitter names you could play "Gunn or Cernovich"

Also lol at the entirety of woke twitter defending Gunn because he's on the right side. Moviebob on the front as usual
