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.

nemu 07/20/18 3:56:45 PM #66:	The rape comment reads like a joke, so that's a non-thing. If serious, the little boy thing would be fair to fire him over, but given the rape joke, I would assume it's some kind of dark humor. I would like to know the context of it, if he was replying to someone or something. So unless that pedo comment is his actual opinion on the matter, this is dumb and this outrage culture needs to stop. He should just be able to say "sorry I was being dumb, no harm was meant" and we move on. <cite>nemu posted [p:905428594] in James Gunn...
