The podcast is up on iTunes for free...listen to it for context
I'm not going to be near a computer for a couple of days. What is the context please (if you've listened to it)?
 
Some of Gunn's comments are disturbing. Especially the one about Stephaine Brown saying because she's a teen mom, she's easy.
 
James Gunn's comments are infinitely worse than David Goyer's.

Gunn is more important than Goyer (he's a director not someone who drafts stories for other people to re-write), and his comments are more offensive.

Gambit is another character who gets drawn or written for the female gaze, and he comes in at number five even on a list not weighted for the gender or orientation of its polling base. Says Gunn: “My girlfriend voted for this Cajun fruit.” He goes on to say that the idea of having sex with Gambit himself makes him sick to his stomach. Because, again, imagining a man as attractive to a woman necessarily requires you to imagine him as gay.

But let’s not end with the anti-gay sentiment! Sometimes, women are qualitatively less attractive because they have sex with people! “I sometimes think that the Black Canary is the hottest chick in the DC Universe until I remember that she, uh, ****s Green Arrow.” On Stephanie Brown, a teen mother who made the painful decision to give her baby up for adoption, “Being a teen mom and all, you know she’s easy. Go for it.” On the previous Batgirl, Cassandra Cain “She has the ultimate daddy issues. Which means she’s just my type.” Many of Gunn’s other comments ride the line between what I would simply consider distasteful and what I can definitively call misogynistic, like when he says he’d have sex with Spider-Woman but he wouldn’t want to look at her face while doing it, so he’d make sure to ejaculate onto it, or that Emma Frost is great for guys who like “a rude *****.”
 
Pisses me off that my third favorite DC character behind the World's Finest, won't be on the big screen because some tatted up Stanley Tucci look alike finds his name and character "goofy".

Meanwhile at Marvel: meet Rocket Raccoon. He's a talking space raccoon that has a giant gun and shoots people.

**** you Goyer. **** you you ****ing hack.

I have good Batman films with Burton and Nolan. Good Superman films with 1 and 2. Give me one reason why I should care about a DCCU when one of my favorite characters can't be on the big screen even though he's been a member for 50 plus years.

I rather have Justice League Mortal.

Yea I won't lie, Gunn's comment are worse than Goyer's.

I'm not as disturbed by the Batwoman one as I am by the Stephanie Brown ones. The Brown ones are bad. I know a girl who had a kid while being a teen. She's still together with the dude she had the kid with and the kid is like 3 or 4. Point is, it's wrong to say teen moms are "easy".
 
Guys, Gunn was being "funny". He already apologized for those comments.

Satire requires a twist to be good. Gunn was just repeating what homophobes and misogynists say without any redaction.

As for apologies, a lot of us don't take public apologies from business/political figures very seriously. James Gunn made those comments as a successful 41 year old in an extended discussion where he was probably sober. It is who he is.

Some are funny. The Black Canary one was a bit funny but the Stephaine Brown one was bad. And yea he already apologized but still it's not like Marvel writers have said anything bad like Goyer.
