James Gunn was on the receiving end of an sjw hate mob in 2012. After he was made director of Guardians of the Galaxy, sjws dug up an old article he wrote on his personal blog in 2011 titled “The 50 Superheroes You Most Want to Have Sex With: 2nd Annual Poll Results.” The Mary Sue advocated for generating enough buzz to get him fired for his "slut-shaming" and "homophobic" article ( https://archive.fo/Q9VeK ). Social justice warriors were up in arms about it, and James Gunn published an apology through the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, GLAAD.
So no, Gunn isn't a hypocrite when he says speech has consequences. He knew first hand that it does.

Doubtful. That would be an admission that they made a mistake, and unless their back is pushed against the wall, mega companies like Disney don't admit they were wrong. They know very well that at the end of the day, most people don't go see Marvel movies for the directors and bringing him back would be more trouble than it's worth. They'll most likely announce that Guardians 3 will have a female or minority director to curb any criticism they're getting. By doing that, it puts the people complaining in the position of not wanting to look sexist or racist or whatever.

The problem is the fall-out. Bautista seems pretty fucking serious about standing by Gunn. Saldana, Pratt, and Gillian have been more reserved.
Also, Bobcat Goldthwait, comedian, director and voice of "Pain" from Heracles, asked Disney to remove his voice from the upcoming attraction WORLD OF COLOR – VILLAINOUS over the Gunn firing. Goldthwait thought it was hypocritical of Disney to keep his voice after all the outrageous shit he's done, and fire Gunn for doing less.

Black Panther was just very bland and boring. It was about as good as Thor Dark World, and if it was not for the race angle, people would think of it as one of the weakest Marvel films. And they killed Klaue, who was one of the best and most memorable villains in the Marvel films. He could make appearances as a smuggler and criminal tech broker in many more films to liven them up a little bit.
Loki and Hammer are the only other non-boring villains, but Hammer was forgotten, so they whore the shit out of Loki to keep Thor films from turning into complete bore fests.

Except that many people got in trouble for jokes. Sam Hyde, Gilbert Gottfried, Don Imus, Megan Fox, that PR director who made an AIDS joke. Many comedians like Nick DePaulo, Greg Giraldo, Otto and George, Jim Norton, Patrice O'Neal, Chappele, and pre-2005 Louis CK and pre-2007 Jim Jeffries got in serious trouble and nearly fired multiple times for some of their jokes after feminists organized campaigns against them.

Bautista's talking a big game but when it comes down to the wire, I don't think he'll actually walk away. He doesn't have the popularity of The Rock, and walking away from Marvel could mean having to walk back to WWE. If he actually does quit, I'l have respect for him for sticking to his principles though. It also all depends on his contract. Depending on the details, Disney could own his ass.
>>1012004
The difference between Bobcat and Gunn comes down to the simple fact that people complained about Gunn. It's like when Jason Biggs was fired from the 2012 Ninja Turtles cartoon. The guy's entire career is defined by being that one guy who fucked a pie in those sex comedies and he was hired to play Leonardo with the studio knowing very well who he was. Yet after the first season he was fired because people complained that he was being offensive on Twitter and Nickelodeon didn't want that connected to their brand.
Honestly though, I think there are probably a number of high level pedophiles at Disney and Gunn was severed so quickly as to look staunchly against it and not draw attention to themselves. It's like when we see all these creeps who have a history of rape and abuse acting as a feminist to hide their true nature.

I wish this did not have to happen, but some people are just too dumb to learn by observation. If you ever mention that 'either it's all ok or nothing is' or that 'eventually they will come after you,' these idiots screech about slippery slope fallacy. All of that while nodding about how it is good that someone was fired for offensive humor, and repeating their favorite mantra that 'freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences.' Time to prevent this madness from happening all over again was in 2007 or maybe 2010. Now it is too late to do anything, and faggots pushing for that shit are finally being affected.
Some people just can't learn by observation, and need to experience something bad first hand to realize that that thing should be stopped. They are like kids who need to touch the stove to learn. Hopefully they will learn this time, and this madness can be stopped before things get any worse.

Lets cut the crap. This happened because the alt-right wanted revenge for Rosanne, their darling and friend to President Donald Trump, getting the boot for being racist on twitter.
However, I don't consider getting Gunn fired to be "giving the left a taste of their own medicine" as there are different factors involved. When the left get someone fired for a tweet, it's usually something they said recently, and then the old posts get found. Using Rosanne as an example, it was only after her monkey comment that people went back and discovered that she was a fatter version of /pol/. In Gunn's case, there wasn't a recent off-color statement to trigger the backlash. The alt-right deliberately went looking for dirt, going back almost ten years to find something objectionable to hang him on.
With just that fact in mind, the alt-right should drop the whole "left's medicine" and own what they're doing here, because it's so much fucking worse than what the left does. With the left, I could lose my job if I made a nigger joke today. With the right, I could lose my job for a nigger joke I made ten years ago.

The left didn't get Billy Bush fired for laughing at "grab them by the pussy" the week it happened. #metoo was built on shaky accusations from years ago as well. Louis CucK's career was completely destroyed over jerking off in front of women with their permission a decade ago. Chris Hardwick was about as soyboy as you can be and they burned him without him technically being named by some ex just as she was hitting the wall. Guy went from like 20 jobs to none. You don't even have to be famous. That video of that ugly little faggot kid crying about being bullied went viral and within the week there were articles about shit the mom said years ago on facebook.
You're not wrong about why that lispy faggot Cernovich lead this charge, but let's not pretend the left has some statue of limitations on ruining your fucking life. The only difference between the left coming for you and the right coming for you is that when the left comes they come with all the media they can. Scorched Earth policies. There's at least some right leaning people defending Gunn and sticking to their principals.

As far as I can remember, the first case for people being fired for something they said years ago was Paula Deen. People didn't really give a shit that she was getting sued for abusing her employee, but as soon as he has admitted under oath that she might have said nigger in the past, all her broke loose. Why were people surprised? Woman grew up in the South when segregation was still a thing. Unlike with Gunn, there also was no proof for her saying anything, other than her admitting that she might have.

You are comparing sexual misconduct to jokes.

If you can't see how fucking retarded that comparison is, then there's no helping you.
You might have a point with Billy Bush getting canned, but you left out that Bush was an active participant in that conversation.

You're also really stretching to try to make Gunn a pedophile. I've read the tweets, and the few that are considered "damning" don't even begin to say "oh boy I want to fuck kids". If those tweets make Gunn a pedophile, then Mike Cernovich is a rapist.

And that's why, while I don't agree with his firing, I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for him either. About 10 years ago or so I worked with a faggot who could not follow rules 1 and 2 to save his life. Every time people went for drinks or whatever after work he'd inevitably say "Hey! Look at this funny thing I saw on 4chan!", show people lemon party and tell dead baby and rape jokes. The retard spent so much time on /b/ that he forgot that you can't act in real life the way you do on Taiwanese puppetry forums. Even though he never told those jokes at work, he still told them around his co-workers, and that painted their perception of him. They found him weird, creepy and no one wanted to work with him. That led to management telling him there was cutbacks and he'd been let go, just to get him out. Sure he didn't do anything wrong during work hours and I think it was a dick move on their part, but he still acted like a retard so I had no pity for him.

You are being disingenuous. The left will go after anybody, for anything, regardless of statute of limitations as well. People keep bringing up Paula Deen being sharp with a black bank robber, which was the only confirmed statement. She said she was sorry, she still got canned for the ancient incident made under duress. Then there's Trump and the Access Hollywood tape: private conversation made years ago, without any illegal activity brought up during it. Apology issued (which is all that was needed, right), but he's against us and powerful, so no mercy.
Also Count Dankula, who isn't even a conservative, makes a private Nazi joke with his fucking dog. Even a basic person could have seen, and it certainly wasn't even something he did as part of a public persona situation since it was sent to a very specific target. Next thing you know you have every motherfucker out there crying right now over this trying to throw him in jail. Not fire him, throw him in jail. You cool with that? Getting fired for stuff 10 years ago is one thing, but getting thrown in jail?! Even the people who are really "Gunn-ho" are at worst saying he should be investigated, not outright tossed in the clink.
Even in this industry you have people who are blacklisted because of their politics, we've gone over this time and again. Ditko and every other non-left person in this industry can't get much in the way of headline work, no matter how foundational or talented they are at any given point in time. Jim Lee (who again isn't really a stormtrooper by any stretch) got knocked down several pegs just because he makes attractive character designs.

Back on working on an X-Men project, a continuation from Uncanny #136. So don't give me that, "he's too much of a PITA", garbage. If you can produce, people will put up with a LOT of shit, even if its only in small doses. Don't get me going, as an aside, if said project is actually a good idea or not.
Getting back to Ditko since that really lit your ass up, I will admit following onto that that he was at least better off than other people who don't tow the line, he had some work. Also still managed to get some new OC into the big guy's veins, too. Squirrel Girl, sure, but also Speedball (although to be fair, the way Civil War panned out for a time…then again I can say the same thing about SG herself more recently, as well…). Doesn't change the fact that other people who weren't nearly as much of a hard-ass as he was, not to mention not even being close to as absolutist as he was by any means, saw a lot more shit flung their way. We've seen time and again, discussed it here over the last four years, again and again.
And by the way, I noticed you had cut out everything else I had mentioned, which is fine. It's very hard to argue about any of that other stuff being the right thing to do, and not contributing to a moral panic that could ultimately lead to a punching war.

Liberals keep kicking conservatives and increasingly libertarians…hell, any sane person out of their jobs/barring them from industries for minor issues and it has gotten incalculably worse in the last half decade. Just recently a doctor in the UK was fired because because he said "there's only two genders" to some Tumblr autist who wanted to identify as an attack helicopter. When a doctor has to bend over backward to accommodate someone who is clearly mentally ill and feed into their delusions or get canned, things are fucked up beyond all recognition. That person should have been referred to a qualified psychiatrist, and the doctor should be out taking a round of golf right now rather than having to shop around for unemployment benefits.
So no, it's not a "power + privilege" thing, its a "keep society running at a basic level" thing. When you are coddling crazy people over trained professionals who are just trying to do their job, the people who decide that's a fundamentally good idea probably are making bad decisions elsewhere.
It's the very opposite of the "professional work environment" I was going over in my last post. Not only that, they piss off everyone else who isn't on their side of the argument in process. There's a very logical set of things that can happen after that; either they retain power and everything goes to hell in a handbasket (perhaps tossing the people they don't like in a ditch in the process, Cambodia-style), they reform and crisis is averted, or they just outright get fucking shot as tempers boil over before any mass official pogroms can be enacted. I'm not sure which one of the those options you like the most. I would say that if I were left wing, I would probably pick the middle route, since the other two options would inevitably lead to me getting shot by some McGlock-armed ancap or a backwoods guy in suspenders with a double-barrel. You'd actually have a real hard-ass to worry about as a leftist at that point, rather than a 80s/90s Democrat like Trump. But if that's what you want, more power to you.

Fair point on the Democrats bit, however while they seem to make up the bulk of much of the problem, I don't think the hysteria is confined merely to them. Certainly not everyone feeding it call themselves that.

>Libertarian implies a socially liberal and an economically conservative person
It implies, but implications aren't reality. As an ex-lolberg there used to be a lot more…granularity really underneath the surface. I knew some that were really hard right socially and wanted to achieve…equilibrium, so to speak, by devolving Federal powers to the states. That way everyone would have their own social containment zones, so to speak, and they'd go to a state that suited them best. And on the other end, these days there seems to be a lot more people calling themselves "libertarian" that are much more adventuresome with the economic left than they had been in the past. I suppose the same holds true for any kind of labeled group you wish to focus on.

I'm not understanding your argument here. When someone is "hoist by their own petard", it usually means they're hurt by a plot they set up for someone else. As far as I know, Gunn didn't dig through people's tweets to get them fired only to get himself fired. Are you talking about his defense of ABC's decision to fire Roseanne? I don't know if that's a "hoist by his own petard" situation seeing as he respected Disney's decision to fire him, meaning he held no double standard.
As for me thinking the left is more forgiving than the right, it's based on Gunn's own career. Gunn had sjws demanding his head back in 2012 over a "homophobic" article he wrote in 2011. Gunn apologized and they mostly forgave him, end of story. The right dug up shit Gunn tweeted back in 2009, forcing Gunn to get fired and issue an apology, and it still isn't enough to satisfy them.

>A new report from The Hollywood Reporter suggests Gunn is being sought out by a number of studios and producers following his expected departure from Disney and Marvel. One industry source revealed that they’d love the chance to work with Gunn, but can’t extend any offers yet. Gunn is still technically on contract with Disney and won’t be free to look elsewhere until exit negotiators are finished.
>Nevertheless, two sources who spoke to THR said there is some hope within Disney and Marvel to find a way to keep Gunn on-board. One exec claimed that, while Disney had fired Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy, that wasn’t an end-all verdict on a potential working relationship. There’s reportedly still a chance Disney could offer Gunn another spot at Marvel in an attempt to keep him from going over to the competition. According to THR’s source, “An end-all verdict hasn’t been issued and conversations with Marvel are still ongoing.”

>Sources say that Gunn, while under contract for the third movie, likely was not "pay or play,” a status that would require Disney to pay him his full fee regardless of whether his services are actually used. Filmmakers typically reach pay-or-play status when a movie is officially greenlit or eight weeks prior to the start of production, neither of which had occurred. But Gunn is not said to have breached his contract because the offensive tweets were sent years before he first signed with Disney’s Marvel Studios.
>Some experienced talent reps estimate that due to the unique situation, Gunn could receive a payout of $7 million to $10 million, if not potentially higher. And, more importantly, he would be free to take on another project immediately. Also affecting the negotiations is that sources say Disney plans on using Gunn's script for the third movie.

No one forced him to post them and he did it on several occasions. It's as plain as day and for everyone to see. The reality of the situation doesn't change, no matter who we got the info from.
Now that some right-wing nutjob points this out, we are supposed to turn a blind eye to it?
If we admit that there's nothing wrong about Gunn's tweets, we are admitting that we only choose to listen to the reality of people we like. Leftists obviously don't want him crucified, but they've lynched everyone else they didn't like FOR FAR LESS. Why is Gunn an exception all of a sudden?
Hang this fucker by the balls. You made these phony, bullshit rules for everyone else, so fucking live by them.

In theory.
In actual practice what happens is that they learn nothing and it just escalates the situation.

Actually, it's worse, because it isn't a lesson at all. Gunn isn't an sjw. He's a liberal, but he had nothing to do with the sjws getting people fired. The only reason he was targeted was because he's a vocal critic of Trump.
It wasn't about "giving sjws a taste of their own medicine" because they didn't go after the sjws. It was also not about those "bullshit rules" because the guys that got Gunn fired were also firmly against him getting rehired. What it was about was silencing Trump critics and creating a chilling effect on speaking out against him.

Hilarious. Disney did what they would have done to anyone who made similar statements as Gunn did. It was cold and driven by pr purposes, but they probably didn't expect just how emotionally invested retarded leftists would be over who brought this stuff to light. And because they "wrong" type of people made a stink of this, it allowed the actors to support someone making these shitty jokes and be backed by the media and twitterfags. Disney ends up in a stupid situation of their own making, which is great, but my gut tells me now they're going to do what they should have done from the start. They're just going to wait out any outrage until they can bring Gunn back.

>I think people there know it, considering they produce less superhero movies per year now.
Marvel had 3 movies this year (BP, IW, AM&W). Same as last year (Thor 3, Homecoming, GotG2). And same as next year (Captain Marvel, IW sequel, Spider-Man 2). Maybe you don't consider Spider-Man movies to count, but even then it's 2 movies a year which they've done since 2012 and 2018 would be a outlier with 3. It's not slowing down. BP and IW made over a billion each. Even if Captain Marvel bombs, and I don't think it will just because normalfags eat up Marvel shit like they're starving, they still won't slow down. They have the X-Men back and will just shift focus to them. Marvel is one of the few things Disney has that's working as intended. The Gunn situation has just been a hiccup so far.
Now they definitely fucked up Star Wars. The fact that they might be canceling all the side movies shows they rushed into this with no plan and no idea what people actually wanted. It also hurts them that China doesn't give 2 shits about Star Wars. But that's not a killshot because both China and normalfags eat up these terrible live action remakes too. Beauty and the Beast made over a billion as well. No one fucking talks about that movie now, but somehow a ton of people went to see it. Lion King will probably be awful, but it won't bomb either. Yes, all their movies are shit, but they aren't close to dead. Expect more poz for a while.

You're not going after leftists, though. You're going after the audience for the films, much of which hold varied political viewpoints. Your use of the term "leftist" feels like its code-word for "normies".

The really retarded thing is that they didn't check him out before they hired him. They weren't fresh statements after all, they were nearly 10 years old. You would think that Didny would have refused to hire him in the first place or else would have demanded that he scrubbed his social media immediately upon being hired.

That's the stupid thing really. Gunn stopped making those tweets after he got hired by Disney Most companies only give a shit about what you post while working for them and he even apologized for them when sjws tried to get him fired back in 2012.
While we can say Gunn should've scrubbed his account, I can't really blame him for it. He couldn't have known that some rapist would dig through over ten years worth of his tweets all because of a difference in political opinions.
Also, realistically, when the fuck was Gunn going to find the time to clean his twitter? He's a normal guy that has things to do, and twitter doesn't have a "mass delete" option.

Mike Cernovich, the major figure behind the push to get Gunn fired, was accused of raping a woman he knew, but the charge was reduced to misdemeanor battery. He has also tweeted extensively about rape, mostly in the positive.
He's a real piece of work.

The even retarder thing is that most of Gunn's movies had similar dark, edgy, or tryhard humor to them. It's what he made his name on and what attracted Disney/Marvel to hire him in the first place. Disney just stupidly acted too fast upon seeing some bad press.
