Disney has severed ties with James Gunn and he is let go from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 after conservative personalities resurfaced old tweets he made in a controversial topics such as pedophilia and rape as Gunn has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump

The offensive tweets discovered are indefensible and inconsistent with Disney's values as they have severed ties with him said chairman Alan Horn...

Before he deleted his twitter, James wrote "Many people who have followed my career know when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. As I have discussed publicly many times, as Ive developed as a person, so has my work and my humor."

He's been working on the script for the 3rd movie and was expected to release in 2020 as both movies have been huge successes making over a billion in total.

He's been an indie genre film maker at Troma entertainment before he found success with Marvel

Do you think he should have been fired?

James Gunn -

I'm very liberal and am on board with this.

Rape and pedophilia aren't funny, and it doesn't matter if he's a Trump critic or not, liberal or conservative- these things should transcend party lines.

He may share my political views, but certainly not my ethical ones. Just because someone has the same political views as you doesn't make them a good person.

How long ago were the tweets? How long do they have to be before people believe you've changed since then?

Will Disney fire you for the stuff you etched into a bathroom stall when you were 12 if they could prove it and someone publicized it?

I don't see that as a political view. I see that as an act of dehumanization done by assholes to feel better about their irrationality. It's something that everyone ethical should be against without condition.

The legality of such things shouldn't even be a discussion. Just ban that shit and force any assholes who try to subject someone they apparently "love" to it to go through that "therapy" instead. THEY are the ones that need to be "converted."

Apparently the tweets were from 10 years ago. That said...

The best thing about being raped is when youre done being raped and its like whew this feels great, not being raped!'


I mean, I get how it's offensive, but... I thought it'd be a lot worse than that?

Yeah, it is outrageous. LIterally every single fucking comedian wouldn't be employed ever and comedy would be dead

I mean, it all looks bad when put there all together and shown as if it was a continuous string of pedophilia jokes, but I mean, these are over years with countless how ever many jokes and such in between.

James Gunn literally created a cornerstone series for Disney out of nothing and has not shown any behavior which suggests any of these jokes are real.

It is definitely an overreaction.

Gunn's past tweets were dug up on Thursday by critics who oppose his political beliefs. The filmmaker is an outspoken liberal who often criticizes President Trump.


The Daily Caller, OAN correspondent Jack Posobiec and right-wing commentator Mike Cernovich are among those who unearthed the offensive rhetoric.

Ok, great, we should ban gay conversion, but there exist people who believe that gay conversion shouldn't be banned by the government, and that is a political view- so even if you view it as solely ethical, there are others that don't, and there have been politicians who have campaigned against, or at least refused to sign on to, legislation banning gay conversion.

So, yes, I believe that some people who have certain opposite political views as me are awful people.

I 150% agree

The act of protesting has become so powerful now, though, that most companies have become utterly devoid of loyalty and misrepresent their values in the face of such backlash.
