Has Danny o'Dwyer made a statement on this tweet?

Are you going to explain what you meant by saying you "remember my James Gunn posts" or are you just leave the accusation in your original post and ignore my reply.
Congrats on being Madonna.
That's a pretty obvious dumb white kid joke, he's even got some Chappelle Show quotes thrown in. Ignorant and obnoxious? Absolutely but a lot of people are when they're young and what matters is what they've learned and how they treat people now.
No, but there's enough people here that will act offended so as to signal boost the effort. The intention is to reduce the person to the 8 year old tweet and ignore everything that has happened since.
He has a lot more to lose now. And has obviously learned a lot since then professionally. Doesn't make this good.
The first one (in the OP) could have been a dumb "joke", but JFC at these ones.
apperently he ain't such a cool dude though?
And this is something we shouldn't forget, people can change their stance over the years.

He clearly is. I don't judge someone by obscure jokes when Twitter first launched a decade ago.
Watch, listen and read the hundreds of hours of content he's been in over the years. That's all the proof you need.
This digging-up-8-year-old tweets shit is literally being done as a ploy by GG fuckers to try turning popular opinion against left-leaning games press people and y'all dumbasses are falling for it
I can still be shocked that he said that. He wasn't 16 years old 8 years ago.
The left is more than willing to eat their own. That's not exactly true for the right. They know this so you just dig up some old poor jokes and let the left do its thing.
Right. 8 years ain't that long ago. Red Dead Redemption was 8 years ago. He may have wisened up since, but he still was grown enough to know better. He need to speak on it.
Yeah for real, I've been trying to get that user to tell me what they meant by that accusation. But after multiple attempts they haven't replied to me at all. Pretty scummy move to call me out like that and then not edit the original post when you realize you were wrong or had the wrong person. I've posted on Etcetera like 5 times.
Danny being an outspoken ally and enemy of GG doesn't absolve him from using the n-word whether it's a Chappelle quote or not. No reason to chew him out over this but there's also no reason why he shouldn't make a statement. The comparisons to James Gunn are quite silly.
Not sure if people that post this shit are our own. He needs to just make a statement.
This is dumb, it's 8 years ago, why are people digging up stuff from that long ago? Do people really not have anything better to do? Every single one of us has done something or said something they regret. I guarantee the OP wouldn't want someone digging through every single thing they have ever done or said. What is important is the person Danny is now and has obviously been for a while now. He's a great guy, and of course is not even remotely racist and is very left-leaning. Honestly, this is a trash thread and pisses me off, and I'm glad most people on here are not falling for it.
No one disputes that but, like James Gunn, the body of evidence suggests views & the person have changed. And not just on a dime. Look at the thematic core of GotG etc.
So sad to see so many people lapping this up.
Drama quota for the day always has to be hit, huh?

Nope, out of context quotes that are actually not quoted and pass as racist as fuck is nothing to be stunned about a now public figure. You didn't know? Neither did I. I guess the Alt-right screwed us over, since it's their thing now.
In 2010, people still felt cool about their "edgy" humour.
Throughout the last few years, I'm sure many of them have grown to understand that "for the lulz" has been weaponised, memes and casual -phobia and -ism can be incredibly hurtful.
Also, archive links straight from KotakuInAction. Classy.

The context is that I, as a Black man, find someone who has disparaged Black people and "ironically" used the words of a comedian clearly to be a edgelord, offensive.
The context is I, as a Uncle and Godfather, found Guns tweets about fucking kids indefensible.
The context is I, as a Era member, see time and time again members shrugging off Black issues, no matter how much it is explained what is offensive and why it is.
But its cool :- because they are "progressive" now. The fuck outta here.
Oh boy. Are these real? I get that he's a Reserera darling but this looks rough.
Why do people say this shit? If your going to quote that Dave Chappelle skit, just say "fuck yo couch!". Everyone knows what your talking about.
My apologies, it wasn't you, it was just someone who posted nearly the exact same type of posts as you did with a Data avatar.
Probably some angry Bethesda fan because of Fallout 76. He made a documentary about them awhile back.
You don't even have to look any further than the avatar's in the comments to figure out the entire game here.
lol
Do I need to start self-censoring when I say Inspectah Deck's verse on Bring Da Ruckus? It's a longtime fav.
It's literally the alt-right. Cernovich & crew were retweeting this shit today. It's so fucking transparent when these folks make threads about years-old tweets and have handy list of archive links. Give me a break. OP knows what he's doing.
My bad, i found them on reddit i didn't know the origin, i'll delete them.
Some of the tweets were legit just Chappelle show quotes...Not even "jokes"
If you're shocked by hearing white people say the N word then consider yourself lucky. I grew up in the south where white people throw it around like nothing every single day.
I'm not saying that's a good thing, or an acceptable thing - it's horrible and I deeply hated it. But it should frankly never be shocking that a white dude, at some point, said it. A lot of white dudes you probably trust to be better than that have probably said it. What matters is if they move past it. Danny should apologize and acknowledge this now that it's been brought up, sure. But the fact that we're here talking about this at all is solely because some twisted GG fuckers are trying to vilify every left-leaning member of the gaming press and get them publicly shamed and blacklisted, and they are counting on ERA reactionaries to play into their bullshit.
For real? If you are not black then yes, you shouldn't be using the Nword when reciting rap lyrics.
One of those tweets you're appalled at is a direct quote from the show.
I don't think OP trying to crucify him, just curious on whether it's been addressed. A simple apology would do for past foolish comments should be enough... this seems similar to the Brother Nature situation (although he was much younger).
