James Gunn Fired From ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Franchise Over Offensive Tweets

@playahaitian

Let me see if i can find the twitter post,

But the Black chick that plays Iris (Candace Pattenson?) got caught up in it.

Essentially she was saying it was a long time ago and Gunn has grown from that time etc..

lawd..

I hope baby girl LEAVES THIS ALONE.

found some old stuff.

 
damn havent read all the tweets but seems to be an overaction by Disney/Marvel

but maybe I am being a hypocrite cause if he made innapproriate jokes about black maybe I would be ok with the firing

nonetheless the tweets above make a good point
the Right keeps on winning cause they have no shame

they will stand fight knowing they dead wrong meanwhile the left is always looking to be take the moral high ground

if something like this came out about Sean Hannity do you think Fox News would fire him?

James Gunn has issued a formal statement on the controversial tweets that resulted in his firing from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“My words of nearly a decade ago were, at the time, totally failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative. I have regretted them for many years since — not just because they were stupid, not at all funny, wildly insensitive, and certainly not provocative like I had hoped, but also because they don’t reflect the person I am today or have been for some time,” he said, according to Deadline. “Regardless of how much time has passed, I understand and accept the business decisions taken today. Even these many years later, I take full responsibility for the way I conducted myself then.”

true...

but I don't think we can just ignore HOW these tweets came to be publicized

and the fact that Disney KNEW he had done this before?

complicates this.
 
For the record you can't give the OG Patrice O'Neal a pass and not this dude. Shit doesn't read as pro pedophile to me. They make pedo jokes ALL THE TIME on fucking "Family Guy." Choosey ass ninjas

Patrice is a pro comedian (RIP) and he wouldnt make those jokes on the Tonight Show.

Family Guy...well like South Park

they got grandfathered in

and are considered satirical and comedic institutions.

the Mouse does not play!!! you getting Disney money then you better act right!! step out of line and you get the ax quick and in a hurry!
 
God damn. When it comes to social media, people are just so stupid. I haven't been on FB in like 4 years. Never had IG or Twitter. Why it's it so hard for grown ass people to stay off that shit?

Never understood the shit either. One bad move, and social media will chew you up and spit you out.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide...

 
This is some bullshit. When PC misses the point entirely.
Shit is getting out of hand. Got miserable fucks looking through tweets from damn near 10 years ago. :smh: As the list of what is deemed offensive keeps growing in this fucked up culture, more and more people going to find themselves getting fired. :eek: "Look what they posted on Myspace when they were 14!!"

People are going to regret they didn't stop this 'fired for offensive' posts shit. They going to long for the days when people could just apologize and move forward.
 
Let's see what another director can bring to the table with gotg cause I wasn't that impressed with this guys work anyway.
