    :dayton: I’m already on record that “the pile” is bullshit anyway. Each alleged offense deserves to be evaluated its own merits. And I long ago decided I’m not going to stop being a fan of someone’s creative work just because I might not approve of everything they’ve done in their personal lives. Of course people who commit actual crimes need to be arrested and prosecuted. A couple offensive tweets don’t rise to that level. So you can call me whatever you want, my position hasn’t changed.

    They can't give it back because reasons, but they're really really disappointed in James Gunn for those things he said ten years ago because people never change, ever, and he should be punished forever and ever for his eternal mortal sin.

    This isn't a couple of offensive tweets. Do a search for them.

    There are a lot of them. I'm honestly surprised it took this long for them to become public knowledge. Gunn must have really pissed off someone.

    And it's all your fault.

    Yes. You.

    And every other lefty who combs through old stuff looking for something to be offended by.

    This is what you leftists have brought to the world now. Everyone's past is fair game? Okay, but take note that includes the past of people on the left as well.

    Remember the old cliche: The revolution eats its own.

    I liked GOTG 1 & 2. Sad but everyone's past is now fair game for the outrage machine. :shrug:

    It was a political hit job from the beginning. There is a staggering amount of hypocrisy on display here, but the people who have been pointing fingers need to turn them around.

    Of course, it is.

    What the fuck isn't in this day and age?

    But it still doesn't change the fact that he made those tweets. It doesn't change the fact that if James Gunn is MAGA you'd be calling for his head but because he's a lefty suddenly you and the others are playing it's just a joke defense.

    Nope.

    Nope.

    Which is why it isn't my fault.

    Never said it.

    Let us not forget the other old cliche: Whoever smelt it, dealt it.

    And you side with pedophiles and rapists.

    Oh wait you don't?

    Then neither do I side with pizzagate. Of course given that it is you and your inability to not label everyone on the right with every single stupid thing that happens on the right it's not surprising in the least you'd say I side with pizzagate. You lack the ability to think beyond, "Right? Is bad. :droolingidiot:"

    Just because the asshole pizzagate guy exposed these tweets doesn't suddenly make me a supporter of him because I pointed out that Gunn got what has happened to a lot of people accused of a lot less worse.

    Edit: Also I didn't know it was pizzagate guy until after the bulk of my posts on this subject and I read the Gizmodo article. Still doesn't change a damn thing I wrote.

    Well I mean don't be more stupid than you usually are. :finger:

    Well not surprising. Disney pretty much had to fire him.

    Public figures should learn from this and realize they need to be more careful about things they say in social media and stuff they say in interviews.

    Have no sympathy for him or Roseanne. If you stir the pot, you may get burned. This isn’t about free speech.

    They are free to go on making stupid comments but they need to remember that we live in corporate controlled society and you cannot fuck with a company’s bottom line.

    As for GotG 3 maybe they can get the director from Thor Ragnarok to step in.

    :facepalm: The tweets were there before Disney hired him. There was no threat to the bottom line. The whole thing is a fake controversy ginned up by alt-right trolls.

    This dates from May, but somehow slipped under the radar: Jared Leto. You'll never guess who one of his accusers is:

    Jesus Christ. Yes, they were public knowledge, not least because Gunn had openly distanced himself from them for the last ten years, and he did piss off someone recently, namely the Trump defenders who then started this campaign against him.

    It doesn’t matter that it was public in the past.

    The rules have changed recently. I guess you leftists on this board didn’t notice because almost all the recent victims are those on the right.

    In 2018 thanks to leftists who’ve been going out of their way to dredge up anything from the past of people they do not like in order to destroy those people Gunn is another victim of that process.

    Leftists can’t complain. Leftist activists started the process of hunting down old blogs, quotes, tweets, anything from anyone’s past. Add to that the left has a hard-on for not accepting that people can change and are not the same person they were years ago and we can see why Gunn was terminated by Disney.

    Cernovich, scummy as he is, is only doing what the left started.

    Complete bullshit.

    First of all, we're not comparing years. We are comparing Gunn-now to Gunn-10 days ago. Unless you can show that a major shift happened within those ten days, you're just spewing nonsense about this case.

    Secondly, Cernovich supports Trump, and Trump spews misogynist bullshit daily and defends rape and harrassment fantasies about once a week. So no, he is not doing the same thing as anyone who opposes rape and harrassment.

    But most importantly, you are just perpetuating the myth that opposing a person for condoning rape, harrassment, or in some other cases racism, is the same thing as opposing them for no reason whatsoever. By comparing a nonsensical witch hunt to sensible opposition against actual crimes and political hatred, you are continuing the propaganda that claims it is impossible to avoid raping and harrassing other people. It isn't. There is one definite and clear line, namely consent. Insistence on that line is not public hysteria, nor an invitation to the same.

    Not bullshit.

    You’re just upset that Gunn is a leftist and Cernovich is a scum bag.

    Too bad so sad. You leftists have to live by your own rules. If James Gunn is a conservative you’d be celebrating his downfall.

    We can see in your post that all that matters to you is that Cernovich is a Trump supporter. That’s your decision point on the issue. Not the fact that the tweets are real or any other point.

    Ever notice how the right always has to qualify that lately?
    None of your heroes are good.
    They're not flawed, they're BAD.
    Have you noticed?
    Have ya?
