Some years ago, Disney cut their ties with director James Gunn as soon as the internet tried to get him cancelled because of some racist joke Gunn posted on Twitter nearly 15 years ago, but now that dust has settled, you've got Gunn back at Disney directing the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie.
What does that tell us? That Disney didn't "fire" him 'cause he was a racist, but because they didn't want any of the bad buzz surrounding Gunn at the time to be associated with the MCU brand.
Employing an alleged racist, homophobe or sexual predator is just bad publicity for your brand/studio, so it is a logical move for Techland/Hardsuit Labs to cut their ties with Avellone given the accusations against him.
I really don't think that the James Gunn situation is anywhere near what happened with Chris Avellone. Disregarding just how disingenuous your point being made is, I feel there are a few things to clarify:
- James Gunn's tweets were on his page and easily visible and verifiable, and he had not at the time directly apologized for them in an easily visible manner. The Disney exec (I think it was Alan Horn) woke up one morning and saw lots of people upset about these older tweets and cut their losses quickly and easily. It's also worth noting that said rash decision may have also been because of the Fox merger that was going on at the time. James Gunn's firing happened within a day of the tweets resurfacing. Gunn had also apologized that morning and offered explanations to those tweets as well in a meaningful way.
- Chris Avellone had multiple allegations being brought against him by a multitude of women who often didn't even know each other. These allegations were all investigated by the different companies employing him independantly from each other and went on to sever ties. As far as I can tell, Avellone never apologized or issued any statement until yesterday.
I also just don't like your whataboutism with Gunn over this whole thing. I don't get why you're over here simping for a potential sexual predator and so willing to ignore the victims.
Dismissing the content of a video and calling its creator a "fanboy" without watching the video its not a very good argument :/
Youtube is a shitty place full of shitty and bigoted creators. I don't know who made this video, but a video basically calling the victims liars and ignoring everything else from some no name creator is going to be an instant ignore for me. If it were someone such as Jim Sterling or someone else who has offered more thoughtful insights into things, I might be so inclined, but a video trying to say Avellone is innocent outright is just no good to me.
