Twitter people inflating obvious jokes into pedophilia is suddenly my least favorite thing in the world. I get why Disney got rid of James Gunn because they’re Disney. But ugh. What sad people have this kind of time? I mean ... Gunn apologized for those Tweets years ago. This was a Conservative guy hellbent on taking down a "liberal elite." Disney is in the wrong, here. Words have consequences. Roseanne got fired for far less.

The left defending on all this pedo stuff is a new low, and yes I agree Roseanne should have been fired as well. Dan Harmon is the worst offender though, which doesn’t seem to be getting much coverage though, probably because it’s easy to separate the two with a cartoon.

James Gunn did black comedy. That was his thing back then.
That’s a lot different than making legitimate racist remarks now.

Joking about being in NAMBLA and raping kids is hilarious, got it. Well humor is subjective. And there’s a difference between defending pedophiles who act on their impulses and making jokes about pedophilia, but you and your ilk know that and just want to pretend they’re the same.

The left got people fired for tweets, can’t be mad when the same rules apply. A lot of Trump supporters in the group I’m in are defending Gunn as well which is incredibly dissapointing. I feel like this is just the beginning of children’s #MeToo stuff and a lot of stuff will come out about Hollywood, not just jokes. Reminds me of someone who says their “friend” has an embarrassing situation to deal with. Seems like way more than jokes to me.

Personally I didn’t get anyone fired for tweets, can’t speak for “the left” as a whole but I don’t think I’ve defended any group that are this wildly overreacting on the internet. There may be a “children’s me too” movement at some point, but it won’t be led by Cernovich or other right wing reactionaries trying to censor critics of the president using their history of telling offensive jokes on the internet.

I didn’t say you did, I said the left 🤷🏻♀️. You said “me and my ilk” which is more personal. I know many cases of liberals finding Trump supporters details and contacting their work or doxxing them. Mike Cernovich didn’t make James Gunn write those tweets, everyone and their dog criticises Trump which is their right to do so, I don’t see how this is a master plan to silence critics.

I am talking of myself personally because as a member of “the left” I haven’t led a charge to fire Roseanne nor a charge for Disney to reconsider firing James Gunn. You pretending that this is legitimate grounds to believe that Gunn is a pedophile makes you part of the ilk I was referring to, just trying to distance myself from the easier to defame “resistance”. It became a plan when the moment after James Gunn was fired they immediately started in on Michael Ian Black and Patton Oswalt.

Don’t make creepy comments heavily insutiating you love to fuck kids on a public forum and you’ll probably be ok. Seems reasonable 🤷🏻♀️.

See I am more conservative than left these days and I don't see this as an equivalent thing. Does anyone really think he's a pedo? Rosanne has made numerous posts with racial overtones, I don't think her show should have been cancelled but she should have been reprimanded and fined.

Yes, this exactly sums up the current political climate, I wonder when we decided that shutting down a debate equals winning it. We have tonnes of left wing protesters in Australia at the moment due to the visit of a right wing canadian YouTube troll. The left can't stop themselves from being over reacting assholes even though that is what her business model relies on... Ga. Went to the Sydney event tonight. Was about 50 police, a few with horses. Didn’t see a single protestor. Security told me they had to shut down Hyde Park earlier in the day due to protests though.

James Gunn did black comedy. That was his thing back then. That’s a lot different than making legitimate racist remarks now. This is what I do not get. What he got fired for was less offensive than his first movie Tromeo and Juliet. But this is why the left is continuing to lose power. We throw people to the dogs for minor things that happened in the past (also see Franklin), while the right can preach hate, outright lie to people then claim fake news when caught and actively embrace Russian propaganda for their purposes and it is ok. Gunn is fired for this, but then allow Trump to mock the metoo movement and say he should physically force a DNA test on Warren. Oh well, I am on team #guardiansnomore. Disney is within their right to fire him, but fans are within their right to boycott the films that come. I am very happy that big Dave came out so fast in support of Gunn, as did others. I am also glad to see Adult Swim and Cartoon Network refuse to get involved when this group came for the Rick and Morty guys. I hate their show, but this group needed to be stopped. I also do not think Roseanne's shit should have been cancelled either. It was actually doing some good in finding a middle ground in these times of deepening divides. Killing her show, just pushes her further to the edge, along with all her fans. Fine her sure. But killing her show was too far. Very chilling to see how fast people want to censor others these days.

I saw Nine Inch Nails & Queens of the Stone Age once when they were a double header, despite knowing 2 songs from the latter at the time, wasn’t a huge deal.
