Disney has every right to remove him if they deem necessary based on his previous comments. No one is saying "HE'S BEING CENSORED" because you're talking about 8 year old tweets and he doesn't have the "right" to direct GotG (unless that was added to the bill of rights while I wasn't looking). People think its dumb because Disney is worried about its "image" when this is literally a director who made movies about children getting turned into zombies via slugs and Ellen Page raping Raine Wilson. So yeah Disney isn't censoring Gunn anymore than Twitter is censoring morons that say racist shit on Twitter and getting banned. Youre talking about works of fiction. He quite literally went on twitter and said pedophilia and child rape are okay. Tech companies are private companies. They have every right to ban whoever they want. Disney is a private company. They have every right to fire whoever they want. This is not difficult to figure out. You dont get it both ways. He was quite clearly joking and the internet 8 years ago is different to the internet now. Back then people would laugh and joke about things like that and nobody said shit about them so more and more people did it. When I played MMO's back then, the sort of shit that got said in chat or on ventrilo or on forums would get people crucified now. Nothing was off limits and people just laughed about it without anyone getting offended. This is my main problem with people getting fucked for things they said in the 00's because it was so rampant back then. And I don't for one second think the people I associated with then were racist or sexist or anti-semitic or homophobic, etc. It was just how it was and it was all clearly said in a jokey way. Like I watched Eddie Murphy Delirious with a group of friends the other night. Everyone laughed at it despite the content clearly not being acceptable to say in 2018. Anyway, the main reason it sucks especially for Gunn is this. He already apologised for those tweets years ago. The tweets were known about when he was originally hired. It was only people whining about them again that got him fired. It's basically double jeopardy. <cite>ShatteredElysium posted [p:907569943] in Guardians ...
