“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.”
“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. All I can do now, beyond offering my sincere and heartfelt regret, is to be the best human being I can be: accepting, understanding, committed to equality, and far more thoughtful about my public statements and my obligations to our public discourse. To everyone inside my industry and beyond, I again offer my deepest apologies. Love to all.”

They must have already known what kind of humor Gunn had. I already knew. They only fired him because it became a blemish people were focusing on.

You mean the way people with James Gunn’s politics do? This is what happens when someone demands people act a certain way and they don’t do the same. When Roseanne was fired, Gunn lectured everyone about the differences between free speech and your employer supporting you. I saw a picture of him today and when he smiled I saw s*** in his teeth, probably from the large consumptions of it he had to eat today.
This all started because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut about Ben Shapiro and Donald Trump. Maybe if he wasn’t so thin skinned about, what’d you say, “disagreeing with their politics”, he’d still have a job.

Did u seriously just use “thin-skinned, which u also spelled wrong, and Trump in a sentence and WERENT referring to Trump himself?!?!?! 😂🤣😅 Ah… thats funny dude. They dont make em more thin skinned than Trump.
-
Alan Conn, thank you for catching that, but you have absolutely no fucking business correcting anyone’s spelling and grammar.
And yes, President Trump is very thin-skinned. Did “u” have a point or did “u” just get “TRIGGERED AS FUCK”? Whatever the reason it doesn’t change the fact that Gunn constantly complaining about him led to the events of today.

So when these companies fire their people over stuf like this, are they actually firing them because they disagree with what they did? Or is it just to make sure they don’t look bad…
-
We all know the answer is to save their own skin. Big companies like Disney do whatever it takes to save face for the largest demographic, which currently seems like it was a Twitter mob.

Fuck him. And fuck Marvel for not doing it from the start. I’m 100% sure they knew about the whole thing. They just didn’t do anything unless it would have re surfaced. His jokes were disgusting and Marvel are greedy cunts.

Now it makes sense why MCU’s Yondu(a child trafficker) has such a big role in his GOTG movies, even praised as a hero after his death.
