Guardians of the Galaxy James gunn fired!!!

[pr0xyt0xin]

When exactly did he redeem himself over this situation?

Basically the same way Robert Downey Jr did?

 

[First Avenger]

When exactly did he redeem himself over this situation?

He apologized for those tweets back in 2012.

While I'm the type of person who thinks that "PC/outrage culture" has gotten WAY out of hand, even I admit that there are certain lines to draw in the sand.

For example, it's one thing to watch a Mel Brooks movie and laugh at the jokes because of the commentary behind those jokes. It's another thing to listen to someone who CONSTANTLY makes racially charged jokes. There's only so many "jokes" you can hear from that person before you think, "Hm. Are they actually racist?"

That's pretty much how I feel about the James Gunn situation. He made those pedophile "jokes" far too many times to feel easy about it.

 

[Yellow Cyclone]

First of all, it's not a matter of what's worse. They should be judged separately.

Secondly, "it's just a joke bruh" is a dumb excuse. It's not funny and if you do it over and over again... it becomes even less of a joke.

comedy is entirely subjective. that is the point of it. just b/c one person finds something funny or offensive doesn't mean a different person won't have the opposite take

gunn shouldn't have been fired for something he's apologized twice for since 2012. if a standard did apply, then he shouldn't have even been hired by marvel to begin with

this is horn trying to virtue signal and capitulating to the twitter mob

i wonder how seth mcfarlane feels, he made his entire career on being an edgy jackass, disney is about to own his parent company

 

[Kuwolski]

When exactly did he redeem himself over this situation?

I don't think he needs redemption. He apologized for the jokes and was fired. He's admitted and paid for his mistakes (much more severely then deserved imo). Unless more details are revealed I think he's well on the path to forgiveness, whatever that really means in this context.

No he didn't. That was for a blog. This is twitter. These are two different things.

Back in 2012, Gunn apologized for some blog and FB posts (not tweets) that many thought were over the line. This time it's his tweets that got him in trouble because he decided to throw old tweets at people he was politically beefing with on Twitter and they threw ones from his past that were as bad or even worse than their's. He should have known better and done a cleanup of his accounts so they wouldn't bite him the butt again.

It is utterly amazing how people are framing "jokes" about raping children in this thread.

I gotta assume you are against shows like Family Guy or It's Always Sunny?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Just so I am clear, what exactly did RDJ do? I thought he was an alcoholic and drug user who almost got himself killed. What else did he do?

Well Disney wouldn't want to be associated with that either, right?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I haven't watched Family Guy in a long time, really like It's Always Sunny. Are you comparing that, to what was written on twitter? A scripted television show is very different from twitter. You want to know why I know? Apparently Gunn was bringing up other people's old tweets to attack them.

With a disease? Getting sober is a great thing. That is the example you want to compare this situation to?

REMINDER: The country's leader is still being condemned about his remarks on women's p*ssies from a private conversation from 13 years ago.

Paula Deen was fired from Food Network and lost her business empire for admitting in court that she used a racial slur.

Hulk Hogan was fired from the WWE for using a racial slur multiple times in a private conversation from 10 years ago.




James Gunn deleted thousands of Tweets starting from 11 years ago that included "joking" about raping women and children. He also Tweeted and I quote:

I burnt my tongue on an enchilada. Fu**ing Mexicans!

There needs to be consistency, guys. Not different rules for different folks.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

As someone of Mexican heritage, lets be clear. Someone saying "****ing Mexicans" as a response to burning their tongue on an enchilada is such an obvious joke and in no way offensive. And even if you consider it that, it is in no way comparable to "jokes" about raping children.

condemned my ass.

Disney didn't own Marvel studios when RDJ was cast as Tony Stark. It would make Disney look bad to get rid of someone that managed to overcome an addiction.

 

[vandiola]

I can't believe some of the people defending Gunn. Did you guys read his tweets. How does someone make thousands of jokes about violating children? There was even one tweet where he had a link to a 'manual' written by a paedophile. The police need to investigate him. No one makes that many 'jokes' on just one subject matter

Okay, I'm saying this as a favor to protect you from emotional harm. Steer clear of Anthony Jeselnik's body of work including his Twitter.

They should of gotten rid of her earlier for this.

Pretty much daily. If not just harming children in other ways. Dead baby jokes, leaving them in hot cars, etc. And he used to have a television show. And he is on literally every Comedy Central roast. Still on Netflix, etc.

He's known for disavowing all comedic boundaries. If he were to draw a line, then he's basically claiming all the other jokes he made were okay to make.

That's what I respect about true shock humor.
