Why are MAGAs completely and utterly obsessed with paedophilia?? I always forget how creepy and otherworldly MAGA twitter is until I'm accidentally confronted by the wall of retardation and fake profiles that bombards you in stories like these. All the tweets are just people @'ing Disney and saying 'YOU SUPPORT PEDOPHILIA DISNEY??'. Oh and what happened to the right decrying people losing their jobs for saying off-color stupid shit years in the past? That was the one thing I agreed with them on, but of course when it suits their purposes, harassing employers to fire people you don't like is okay apparently.
Maybe don't link to a Nazi. It makes it easier for Gunn's fanboys to brush it off by using association guilt.
So yeah, people were digging through his tweets Sherlock style looking for something to be offended by.
if you have any experience with james gunn's movies at at that point in time I think it's really clear these are jokes if you aren't, you should. Super is a really good movie. https://youtu.be/9IdM84YVmV0
Not defending Gunn, but I heard the second tweet is a fake.
https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/1020398829399523328 https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/1020399429738639360 I concur with Lindsay. This is completely fucking bullshit.
Get off social media - because god forbid you say something stupid or out of context someone will eventually find it, bring it up, and ruin your career in seconds.
People love to rag on "the loony left" for ruining peoples careers over racist tweets and all that. But at least in almost every instance I can think of it's been something the racist fuckwad literally just said rather than people digging through an archive of tweets that appear to be really crude attempts at jokes. Holy shit Trump supporters and the further right are a bunch of babies.
This is bullshit, sorry. I don't give a fuck what he said 6 years ago on twitter, but I do give a fuck that Disney would fire a guy over tweets that are basically ancient, when rather than immediately fire John Lasseter after it was revealed that he was sexually harassing women, they gave him a nice lil holiday while they did investigations then brought his skeevy ass back for the rest of the year. This is a disgusting double standard
Wait until they hear about this Walt Disney guy.
like, it would be one thing if james gunn was just some average director and this was all totally out of left field but his entire career pre GOTG was built on being outrageous, cynical, and vulgar This is like firing ozzie because of some old tweets he made about how much he liked doing drugs. If that's a dealbreaker, why did you hire the "did a fuckton of drugs" guy?
Hey, I heard that that Robert Downey Jr. guy was a drug addicted asshole years ago. Disney needs to clean up its act and boot his ass off Avengers 4!
If Lindsay is telling you to back off on criticism, you really should fucking do it.
Christ that was 8 years ago, is it that hard to understand that people can drastically change over time. Yeah, the tweets are disgusting but considering how old they are they're basically void in my eyes. As well as that, Guardians won't be the same is he isn't working on it.
He also already apologized for this stuff almost 6 years ago. 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Director James Gunn Apologizes for Con..
Social Media was a mistake. Absolute farce where your entire history is boiled down to, "Well you said this 8 years ago, and it says this on the chart."
It's unsurprising that this fuckwad thinks Gunn's a heinous villain yet he defended Roy Moore and doxed an accuser of him.
Speaking of fuckwads, remember that Mike Cernovich is the guy behind this successful smear campaign: https://twitter.com/shawnxmadden/status/1020401245578702848
Thanks to social networks literally everyone's life depends on no one being stubborn enough to dig through person's social network profiles far enough.
That really depends on what you post too though
Out of context, these sound really awful. Once I saw the Hardy Boys one, it became obvious these were jokes. I didn't realize he also did Super. Now its painfully obvious.
I already is. Almost everyone immediately realized it was a Kremlin shill boost meant to assuage Conservative fears about the midterms. The only exception seems to be that hairdresser from Manhattan, who seemed to be in it moreso for the attention and lucrative Fox News Appearances. Conspiracy theorists and wingnuts like Cernovich and Posobiec are basically the only ones left using it.
The first reply to that tweet is "on the bright side this means a POC/woman director can replace him" She even replied telling the guy to kindly piss off with his terrible hot take
Let's be real here - most of people who are an active social media user and were born in mid-late 90s and later have at least one questionable thing posted by them there.
Like it sucks that James Gunn was pushed into this whole thing but, if you're active on social media and your career explodes into this massive, highly public position, you really need to clean up your social accounts as much as possible and either 1. step away from them or 2. watch what you say so people don't decide to start digging for dirt. The internet is full of assholes. Clean your dirt up before someone digs it for you.
"Hollywood Elite Tries to Cover Up Pedo Proof" the reality is that what you put on the internet is written in stone. It's almost impossible to erase your past statements, especially ones like these that've already attracted controversy.
Tabloid trash releases nonsensical smear trash on celebrities all the time, but it's the ones with readily available proof that actually hurt careers. No one would have batted an eye if the tweets had already been deleted. Just fucking clean up your social account when you get to a public position, so that people trying to dig up dirt look like dumbasses with no steady ground to their claims.
idk man, wasn't this whole thing was started by a pizzagate conspirator to begin with? tabloid trash clearly goes a very long way :y
When there is actual proof, yeah. When there is nothing it just flops back into the sea of tabloid nonsense it came out of and goes wholly unnoticed by 99% of people. Also if you're a known figure, talking politics on your publicly available social media accounts is inherently likely to fuck you up because some people care too much and some people will go to great lengths to mess with you if your opinions are not theirs.
What the fuck, aren't these the same posts that James Gunn already got flak for like 6 years ago? And then subsequently apologized for? What a bunch of horseshit.
