Can’t remember if there had already been a thread about this but about a week ago, someone dug up a bunch of lewd tweets from GotG director James Gunn, including many jokes about pedophilia. This prompted Gunn to go on a spree and delete around 1,000 of his tweets. Shortly after, Disney announced that they were severing ties with him.



The cast of GotG we’re pretty vocal about their disagreement in this decision and just recently released this:



What do you guys think about this, and do you think they’ll be able to get him back?

Please discuss and thank you.

outrage culture is probably the worst thing to come about from the political camp i identify with the most, and it's extremely frustrating to watch so many different people have their careers destroyed over not only the littlest of things, but the littlest of things that have happened literal decades ago—it's sickening and draconian and it needs to stop

but while it does make me happy to see the entire cast of gotg showing their support for gunn, and it would be a dream to get him back on board (gotg3 will be a fucking dumpster fire without him, believe me), i honestly don't see disney backtracking that easily, because it would make them look extremely capricious and unprofessional

i mean, here's hoping i guess

Disney is okay with rape jokes in Age of Ultron but not this
