You should probably provide some actual context in the OP.
Anyway, in my opinion, it is absolutely fucking idiotic to fire someone from a movie in 2018 for jokes they made 10 years ago that have been publicly available this entire time. Is Disney gonna act like they didn't know who James Gunn was when he was hired? Did anyone there see Tromeo and Juliet? Did they even see Super? Everyone knew full well what Gunn's past work was.
It's even worse when you consider the source that dug up these tweets. It was right wing trolls like Jack Prilosec and Mike Cernovich who use this guise of progressiveness to dog pile someone while pretending like they are actually offended or give a shit about any of this. Meanwhile, go through Cernovich's tweet history and see how many rape apologist statements he's made. Yeah, I'm sure the guy who said "date rape doesn't exist" is really offended by tweets about the Giving Tree giving a blowjob.
If the cast of the movie has any spine, they'll refuse to do the movie without Gunn and Disney will realize how stupid this whole thing is.
July 1 was the first time in years that i did not have active sub to Giant Bomb, for a long while now i have not liked a lot of their premium content. I am so tired of listening to dan drone on about metal gear (i also can't stand dan in any way shape of form) i have zero interest in anime and to be honest the content has been pretty mediocre as of late. There is specific content i have always enjoyed and would consume but that just ins't the site for me anymore. So i voted with my wallet.
