Yeah, just jokes, just provoking, just an act, lynch mobs in action again. How about disgusting, deplorable and indefensible behaviour from a grown man in a position of great privilege and influence.
Nevermind :angel

Nevermind.

Apparently a guy he was corresponding with about some video he (Gunn) had linked to, is now serving time for possessing child porn. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of investigation.
Did he delete all of his 10,000 tweets or were they 10,000 specific tweets? Either way that's a lot of tweeting.If hes "grown" so much as a person why does he wait to delete 10.000 plus tweets in a day just as this news breaks and not before as a demonstration of his supposed growth? I dont see growth, just blind panic. Jumping on the toxic Star Wars fans bandwagon has done him no favours either. Glass houses anyone?
If Gunn was in the same headspace today, Disney would never have given him GOTG.
I've made plenty of jokes about murder in my life. I've even fantasized about killing some a**holes that made my life difficult. (Remember being a teenager?)
Should all this make me a suspect? Get me fired? Put me on a permanent watch list? Murder is considered a worse crime than pedophilia.
The difference is that it's socially acceptable to joke and fantasize about murder.
This director made a ton of bad taste comments. But bad taste is not a crime.
If you threaten or talk about killing someone on social media, don't be surprised if law enforcement decides to pay you a visit. At least they better. People willing to say such things for the whole world to see, are definitely crying for help or in need of being investigated at the least.
The punk should be put down.
https://www.change.org/victories#featuredHas any petition in the history of change.org ever actually changed anything? I'm guessing no.
If the old jokes were racist, or about beating women, I don't think people would have mixed feelings about his firing, no matter how long ago it was. But since he only made jokes about ****ing little kids, and rape, he deserves another chance....
Seriously, I was a James Gunn champion, and couldn't believe when he was hired by Marvel, and he did great work. However, this is just something Disney can't look past.
Let’s not forget who the real victim is in all of this. How’s Sean Gunn going to get work now?
Just smacks more of bowing to public pressure, of which i haven't actually seen a group really clamoring for him to fired - and to be fair, i haven't really looked. But you'd think there'd be numerous ones by now with high(ish) profile articles on it.
