I mean any person can make a defense for both individuals' tweets. "Roseanne didn't mean it racially!" "James was young and a comedian!" "Just jokes!". No matter what, the shit looks bad. I'm not going to assume intent in either case (eh, maybe closer to assuming with Roseanne). People will always want to swing it their way anyways based off their assumptions.

Either way, as stated in almost every topic ever created, if you are in the public eye then you need to censor yourself for public consumption.

Roseanne made her comments recently, didn't apologize for them and they were targeted towards an individual.

Gunn made his comments nearly a decade ago, apologizes for them years ago and they weren't targeted towards anyone.

Roseanne said racist shit directed at another person, and has a recent history of pushing anti-semitic conspiracy nonsense.

James Gunn made gross and inappropriate jokes to no one in particular.

Without getting into the outcomes, I think they're pretty different situations.

Roseanne's were targeting a specific person while Gunn's were dumb attempts at fictional humor targeting nobody.

Another difference would be that it would only be a matter of time before Roseanne tweeted or said something racist again. She's unapologetic about it.

I don't think there was any concern that Gunn would be tweeting jokes like that again.

not to mention that likely wasn't Roseanne's first warning. she'd been saying crazy things on Twitter well before she was fired.

One tweet occurred in 2018. The other in 2008.

One person owned their Tweet and apologized for it. The other doubled down and blamed their racism on sleeping medication.

Wasn't the new Roseanne show on ABC? If so, both worked for Disney.

I don't think there's many defending only one and admonishing the other.
