James Gunn booted from "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" after old tweets resurface

It looks awful if this is (er, was) the director for a bunch of high-budget family-friendly movies. You'd still hope that he'd hire some PR representative to clean out his twitter of anything joking about sex with kids.
Because I'm erring on the side of caution here and assuming that these jokes are just jokes. It really can be hard to know, because actual pedos love to make edgelord humor and then cover it up by being 'just jokes', thusly making it impossible to tell for real. So even if they are jokes... They look really fucking awful.
The only look like a lot of pedophile jokes if you search for them, in reality they were spaced out over months and years.
Can someone tell me what on earth #walkaway is?
quick question. How familiar are you with Troma?
Going from backing the Democrats to the Republicans.
I'm just familier , I know the name's connected to a film director who makes a lot of very schalucky b-movies, however the moment he's brought on something that a lot of kids are going to watch is the moment he should think about hiring someone to clean out his twitter. I imagine there are PR reps for rich people (which he is!) designed to do exactly that.
Russian social media campaign to get Dem voters to, if not vote R, at least stay home from the polls come November.
What are they trying to keep us from voting on this november?
They think Johnny Cowboy Explosion American Style President is elected every year
They want an even bigger Republican majority so they have more power to destabilize America.
Midterms. They matter, even if they aren't made as big a deal of by the press as the election of King of America.
It's like the "Red Scare" all over again.
The voice of Pain from Hercules just asked to be removed from a previously unannounced World of Color Halloween overlay because of James Gunn’s firing:

Most of the GotG cast and Jim Starlin have come out in support of Gunn.
I hope he's reinstated. This could be the beginning of the end for the MCU if they don't kick off phase 5 with a strong vision.
The cast of Guardians of the Galaxy has put out a joint statement:

It's such a a shame that Bobcat Goldthwait has more balls than everyone who signed this letter.
Asking for your voice to be taken off an old park attraction is not at all similar to dropping out of a contracted film franchise being paid hundreds of thousands per film
Those people are all millionaires. It's fucking disgusting to call him friend in their statement if they still care far more about money than about him.
Unless there is some special meaning for this word in America and it means nothing for most people.
Violating the contracts they've signed would potentially ruin the entire future of their careers. Even if they wanted to boycott it they really can't. Plus, I think it's pretty obvious they're trying to get him back into the gang
why the fuck would they even make a statement in the first place if they didnt care about him? I don't think James Gunn would want his co-workers to put their jobs on the line just for him, especially considering he hasn't personally made a public push for his job back.
They have leverage. By uniting the entire principal cast and writing something that says "we strongly disagree with the decision made her, please consider undoing it", it does a lot more for James Gunn than going "HIRE JAMES GUNN BACK OR WE ALL FUCKIN QUIT" because public backlash will get even worse if they take a heavy stance like that, and you could get people like cernovich shifting his target to them.
Disney has gone from an animation studio that made an award-winning anti-Nazi cartoon, to a multi-billion dollar supercorporation bowing down to the opinion of a single Nazi scumbag.
Absolutely pathetic. It's safe to say that this whole fiasco has brought them much worse publicity than simply ignoring these idiots ever would have.

like putting my face next to an anus and breathing deeply
Not only career suicide but financial suicide since Disney will burn their reserves to the ground with those lawsuits, I'm certain the contracts are ironclad, and what they get paid is a small fraction of what the movies actually make them
That ones actually very mild as fuck lmao
its not even sexual unless you yourself make it so. the implication to me is that the shower was probably just weak
Quite a few peeps getting mangled for having dodgy senses of humour atm.
Sad tbh coz that type of sense of humour is pretty normal where I'm from
It's like famous people are being held to unrealistic standards or something.
I'd hate to be famous.
If only our president was held to the same standards (only bringing that comparison up because this started over his criticisms of Trump).
this was cute

sam hyde in case anyone isnt familiar
I read something similar happened to James Woods a few years back but I never saw that go down so I dont know. Anyway I'm not sure what you can do but shrug, this is the world we've created for quite some time now, where people who dont know you, have absolutely nothing to do with you or your business can comb through your posting history online and just screech loud enough until your robot employers fire you.
I'll grant however, the consistent focus on kiddy fiddling jokes is rather bizarre.
Are you sure stonetoss is the example you want to use?
i dont know who stonetoss is dude. the relevance was sam hyde
