Knowing that the one who accused him was an alt-right that lies over everything, has deliriums, who posted blogs of ladyboy routes, and was accused of rape...
I take the one who made edgy jokes 6 years ago and fixed his course.
What's more, he had apologized and changed his ways long before the firing, not in response to it. Compare the right wingers who suddenly go "this was long ago, I'm sorry if YOU were offended" when they get caught.The guy sincerely apologized for his tweets that were made over 10 years ago and has actually changed. If we do not accept the fact people make mistakes and are willingly changing themselves for the better, we as a society are fucked.
Yes, but he was just trying to be edgy or something so it's fine.
Man, it must feel good to be a superhero fan right now. DC is making some really good moves right now. Marvel is continuing to roll their massive momentum. Sony got their shit together for Spiderman in the best possible way. Fox is... umm.. getting aquired by Disney soon. Great times for all, and almost everyone in the industry looks to be good sports about it :)

Same thing that probably saved Rick & Morty. Harmon dropped a legit apology vs being a defensive asshole or a dropping a half-assed fake sorta apology.
It was sad to see that their were, and still are, people who seem to believe that Gunn should not be forgiven for his jokes. I guess some just don't believe in the concept of forgiving, second chances or just that humans are capable of changing.The guy sincerely apologized for his tweets that were made over 10 years ago and has actually changed.

I searched his old twits. Gross. Even if he truly changed i think is bad to hire this dude again.Yes, but he was just trying to be edgy or something so it's fine.
Wasn't Cernovich one of the guys pestering Disney over Gunn's tweets, and he had a past of stanning for pedo shit himself? Yeah, don't be quick to see these alt-right guys as virtuous, immaculate pillars of rightness if they point out flaws with left-leaning folk, because the shit they've got hiding in their closets are likely 100x worse. It's the whole projecting thing, they all do it, just like their asshole-in-chief.I'm not looking but let me guess
Alt-right shit: "Disney supports pedos everyone!!"
The same alt-right shit: "Excuse me, my anime girl is really 1000 years old"
Being a paedophilia i guess
Can't wait for Awesome Mix Volume 3.
Gunn always brings awesome music.
I hope you've never ever said something you regret.I searched his old twits. Gross. Even if he truly changed i think is bad to hire this dude again.
We all did. Never said otherwise. I said it's a mistake give him this job again. You understand ? Or im going too fast ?
It's definitely a joke that the entire world is playing on you.

Do you have any decade old mistakes you'd like to reveal for us so that we can judge you and screw with your livelihood as though you're exactly the same person, and no amount of personal growth or sincere apologies matter at all? Grow up.I searched his old twits. Gross. Even if he truly changed i think is bad to hire this dude again.
Like his comments were pretty well-known and he'd apologized for them multiple times in the past and obviously Disney knew about them when they hired him, so nothing about the whole deal ever felt like anything but the most transparently manufactured hit job in the world.This is *probably* the right decision.
Alt-right hit job or not, the remarks he made were pretty abhorrent. I'd bet Fox News would be all over it had their parent company just not sold most everything to Disney. I hope no one has anything more lying in wait for this moment.
However, reading the Deadline report, his contrition was also very on point and very human. I sincerely hope this is the beginning of the end of outright cancel culture, and we'll lay the pitchforks down for a moment and understand most people who do stupid things in the past typically don't have the same level of stupidity in them in the present.
