OH FUCK OFF.
What puppets we are, swinging to the whims of these alt-right fucks. This is just as much our fault as it is theirs. And a big fuck you to Disney for buckling like cowards.

New news. New thread.
All I can say is, are you fucking kidding me!? None of his old tweets were mean spirited.
This was what liberalism used to be about...

Now its some of the people calling themselves liberals that are getting offended by every little thing.
How the hell can actual liberals go about kicking out these new, few but loud, faux liberals that get outraged about every little thing out of our party?
It's times like this that make me glad I don't fuck with Twitter. Truly that platform was a huge detriment to everyone.
Also JG and GotG was one of maybe 3 movies from MCU I genuinely enjoyed as movies. If GotG3 doesn't have JG I'm out.

He'll probably be fired. The old blog where he shared a video from a convicted pedophile is kinda of a smoking gun. The GoTG cast who loves him probably would have defended him up until that point.
This blows.
There is absolutely nothing mean spiritied about any of his tweets, he was not bullying anyone.
Theyre dumb jokes, the only thing that I find offensive about them is how lame they are.
Now comedians cant use the word "rape" in a joke without triggering outrage culture and getting fired.

Oh boy, now we got guys concerned about liberal outrage over disgusting shit now that it's over the director of their favorite comic book movie.
Expected Disney to respond, but not this soon and before an investigation, and not full on dumping Gunn.
What? The source of this episode is the right-wing primarily lead or fronted by Mike Cernovich. How is Mike Cernovich even liberal in the slightest?
Also, in terms of comedians, George Carlin was funny as fuck. James Gunn's Twitter jokes aren't really all that funny. I don't think social media/text is a good way to tell jokes though, as it removes emotion/acting/tone. That's me personally. I don't really know what Gunn's actual standup was like, I haven't really seen anything.
If you want an offensive rape joke delivered by a comedian in recent times that is known to be a decent bloke, Jim Jefferies
And Jefferies also has a good breakdown of why comedy transcripts, aka text, don't work very well for his shows. Because they are often offensive and sound terrible if read as plain text.
The issue here isn't just feigned outrage from the right because Trump was spoken about, it's the lengths involved to push paedophile conspiracies and seemingly think it's a good use to waste FBI time.
Like, feel free to call out Jefferies and explain why you don't approve of his comedy, but deciding to try and frame him as a rape apologist/rapist is that extra step like what is going on here to try and say Gunn must be a paedo.
The alt-right dirtbags are celebrating I'm sure. Disney doesn't want the heat, sure, but they just validated them.
Nah, I'm good
How did this thread turn into "post your favorite rape jokes"
Congrats you guys, we did it! We torpedo'd Guardians 3 over some bullshit from years ago that ultimately harmed absolutely no one except your weak-ass sensibilities.
Not really. Means anyone can ruin a career if they just go far back enough to find something someone said.
How did your ability to ignore my whole post to Nintendo Switch come about? It was a rebuttal to him just dropping an offensive Carlin video to "own the libruls complaining".
Maybe read my whole post and understand what I'm saying rather than do what the right-wing love which is "selective quoting" or "selective framing".
My whole fucking post was even building up to why it's possible to say you dislike Gunn's tweets, but making it clear that is different from posting paedophile conspiracies.
They already fucking knew about it. Either read the thread or stop posting these trolling hot takes.
It's good that a bunch of Nazis destroyed something because someone was vocally fighting Trump?? The fuck.
Weaponized outrage. This is going to get very ugly very quickly.
It sure as fuck took them a lot quicker to respond to this than to respond to years of Rosanne dogwhistling.
Hmm, I wasnt' expecting that. This is a super complicated situation, I'm not sure I agree with this decision.

You don't think a family company would feel compelled to fire him after that was dug out? It's fucked up that people dig around people's past because they don't like them, but that's the world we live in.
if someone thinks its understandable that Disney wouldn't want to be affiliated with someone who makes rape jokes on Twitter, that is now "trolling"
phew
