lmao. Yeah people really gotta be careful about what they post.

Even then I guess times were different and people could still take a joke

My girlfriend claims he apologized for those posts in 2012 or some shit too which makes this whole debacle even more absurd.

The guy who got him fired should be publically stoned for not waiting to do it until Guardians 3 finished filming.

Like he didn't even have to wait for it to come to theaters. Let Gunn work his magic on the script and direction, THEN ruin his life. Fucking asshole, man.

Apparently the guy doesn't care about the MCU so that's why he did it. He just wanted revenge for anti trump statements and he probably wasn't even thinking about guardians 3 or maybe didn't even know it was planned. I bet he doesn't follow the MCU at all

Honestly, everyone should take a personal day off from work just to go through all their social media accounts and delete anything that could possibly be considered remotely controversial. Just in case it could get them fired in 10 years.

Link?

Everything I've read about it links it to #MeToo, not Trump.

This is why I will always continue to shitpost. That way when somebody tries to dig some dirt on me, it will be pretty comparable to whatever I'm currently saying. Who knows, might be even tamer

Were the tweets absolutely disgusting and indefensible? Yes. I can take dark humor but joking about touching kids, etc. is beyond the pale for me.

Do I think James Gunn should be on a watchlist? Possibly. Would not want him around kids if I had any. I think people who are out for his blood are over the top though.

Do I think people can change for the better? Yes, although I've always been cynical in regards to this.

Should he have deleted those tweets back when he allegedly originally apologized in 2012? Yes. Not sure why he didn't.

Was it suspicious that he went on a deletion spree and deleted 10,000 tweets? Yes.

Was it weird that Disney hired him for Guardians of the Galaxy without looking into his social media? Very much so.

Should Disney have fired him? Yes and I don't blame them. Their PR must maintain their squeaky clean, family image. This weirdo was "joking" about rape and pedophilia.

Still love the GotG movies but yeah I can't support Gunn.
