This is not good. A simple, authentic apology showing any bit of understanding or remorse would have been so simple. Like I tweeted a few weeks ago, Hollywood still has a real problem with gay men. On the surface it may not look like it. Underneath, it's far more complicated.

no apology no mention of the lgbt community, just imagine if this was about any other marginalised group
IIRC James apologized years before he was accused or involved with guardians. Disney kicked him anywaysJamess Gunn wasn't given a chance to apologise and keep his job. This is next level immolation.
Didn't y'all jump on me for the hate comment when his hosting gig was announced...Misogynistic, homophobic, colorist piece of shit.

hosting doesnt matter to him or work
'Dark skinned women have bad credit.'I wonder if his career will survive this. Dude is a shithead, passed on an easy apology... Oscars are going to for-sure pull him now.
Colorist? Is he?
'Dark skinned women have bad credit.'
'Black women take a punch better.'
Or something along those lines.
I wouldn't bet on thati mean,
there's gonna be more fallout to this.
whatever movie he is currently making, expect that to be canceled. whatever he's doing for the next 2 years at least.
nope nope and nope, jumanji 2 is gonna happeni mean,
there's gonna be more fallout to this.

love this. Just another example of the how the "too soon" theme is bull. Some people are never going to forgive you or let go. Just do what makes you happy, and has you at peace with yourself, instead of giving others the power to constantly hold things over you.
he has jumanji 2 , secret life of pets 2 and a ton of things already in productionHe's got a fuck ton of money so he'll be fine personally yes but you're on something else if you don't think telling the academy to go fuck themselves isn't a career limiting move.
Tweets are new before he declined to apologize on Instagram.

he is way way past the come up stage
he is too bankable
Folks will now factor in the smoke of his comments and non apology when they want him for a project. Because who wants to be promoting something and have to answer those questions? Cause they will be comingIt will jeopardise future projects if he doesn't course correct. It's already cost him one gig.
Even he seems to realise this given he's just changed his tune and given a better apology like he should have from the start.
Tonight was the first time he has ever apologized for it. His defenders are supporting homophobia. It sure makes the black vs. gay divide even deeper, unfortunately.Hmm, yeah if he's already apologized multiple times in the past like he said then I understand. If he's never apologized for what he's said about those horrible tweets then there's a problem.
It's interesting see who's all siding with him on this and who isn't. I'm seeing most blacks side with him according to the responses to that tweet. Way more than I was expecting.

Yes, just arrived in the thread, was looking for a tweet of him declining and instead saw one where he apologizes. I'll read moreDo you mean the latest one where he steps down? That seems to be the first time he's apologized for any hurt he's caused. That was after the title edit.
He will still get work and stuff, but dude put a cap on his career.Wouldn't bet on that at all. His career will most likely be fine.
I don't know if Kevin's telling the truth but he said he's apologized in the past about it and people can look that up too so who knows really. I get the whole "people can change" thing and I believe it, even earlier in the thread I was one of the people saying he's changed but with that said he's gotta at least apologize and you gotta mean it from the heart. Change starts from within. If he apologized and has changed then I personally can say "ok, well that's what you're supposed to do."Tonight was the first time he has ever apologized for it. His defenders are supporting homophobia. It sure makes the black vs. gay divide even deeper, unfortunately.
