but like, how did Disney not already know all of this about him when they hired him, this aspect of his personality wasn't some secret that has been well kept or anything, this is what he was like before being hired to make films for the MCU, I remember thinking it was unusual he got picked up to make superhero films knowing what he had done previously. I think it is kinda a spineless move on their part

I think you're right, it is more a spineless move than anything else. Folks dug these tweets up and made noise about them expressly so Disney would either have to fire him or deal with (dumb) controversy, and it worked.

If there were more to the story, and Gunn had been credibly accused of living the talk of his bad, old jokes, I'd certainly agree he should be fired. But I don't think that's the case.
