I was listening to Midnight's Edge and why do they keep inviting MundaneFatt? The guy keeps talking about his Gamergate e-celeb life and how he was alledgedly a Hollywood guy. Now he's defending James Gunn.

It isn’t really funny. I don’t mean that in the outraged morality way but in an actual comedy way. It’s like he thinks just by saying “fuck a kid, amirite?’ that it’s going to be funny. Left-wing people really do suck at everything.

This honestly. I'm not offended by his shitty tweets. They're just not funny and don't really come across as "jokes". They just come off as weird. Also the guy who played Drax in GotG has come out defending him and has gotten over 20K+ likes despite that Gunn was the victim of the very same standards he supported. Oddly enough I won't be surprised if in a few weeks the faggy wrestler who plays Drax ends up falling victim to the same shit as Gunn (not because of tweets) but because the guy has a long criminal history according to sperg-central wikipedia.

we need this to happen. IX is the golden opportunity to put a silver bullet in Disney Wars. if we pull it off, the meltdown will be like the 2016 election all over again.

Oh God yes! My only concern though is the recent rise in popularity for CW. Normally I wouldn't be worried because that show had its fans, and it makes sense that they'd want to see it finished, but a friend told me something that worried me. He's pretty pleb but hated TLJ and said he would never give money to Disney again, but after seeing the CW trailer yesterday, he told he'd be probably be forced to go see IX and buy Disney stuff "if it means we'll keep getting classic stuff like this". I'm trying to convince him that if he has to give them money to at least not do it for IX and save it for Zahn's new book and CW instead.

CW does complicate matters, but there's always the chance that they screw it up. given who we're dealing with, that's not unrealistic.
either way, you can tell him that supporting Disney's trash is not worth it, and the sooner the Disney Wars franchise is devalued and destroyed, the more likely it is that we'll get actual good stuff at some point in the future. they've demonstrated that their product is trash, and they don't respect the customers. they'll keep doing this until we strike at their bottom line.
and as I told another anon elsewhere, there's no need to consider Disney Wars as anything but corporate fanfic. Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher signed on without realizing what they were getting into, and got exploited and shitted on. Harrison Ford agreed to have his character killed off ASAP, Mark Hamill has dropped numerous hints in interviews that he hates nuWars (eg saying his character was Jake Skywalker, not Luke), and Carrie Fisher an heroine'd with a drug cocktail, possibly to escape this mess.

Reasons for trusting Lucasfilm only decrease with time. I'm prepared for the next Thrawn book to be pozzed with story group demands original author or not. I say this as somebody who liked some things in nu-canon for the first year or so. The Hail Mary at play with The Clone Wars is not to be trusted on that alone. Disney will not underwrite the resources that would be needed to uphold the kind of animation that TCW's later seasons pulled off and they won't be willing to provide a comparable budget either. If it's not a movie, they barely pretend to care.
This argument needs to be offered to anybody chugging the chode over this teaser. Most of them aren't soylaacs but are probably just young adults who were kids when TCW was on Cartoon Network every week. If this revival pisses them off, it'll hit them somewhat. Not as badly as a movie bombing, but it might present further difficulties for television fare like Resistance and the live-action show cooking on the back burner.

I dunno, they seem to invite every other motherfucker in the YT filmscene on their things. A little bit ago Doomcock dropped on there in character, for what it's worth, and he's flying under the radar compared to them. Matt seems to be getting on there less and less though.

Also, FWIW, Disney really didn't have a choice here with Gunn. Gunn might have brought in money, and maybe Western fans wouldn't care about the tweets (although the results of Grace's informal Twatter poll suggest otherwise). But emerging markets would have reacted VERY BADLY to this. You think the Chinese (or any other country you want to throw in) would go see a Marvel film made by a "White Left" who is accused of being a pedophile? Perish the though! Iger certainly knows this, and regardless of his preference on the situation he'd be mad to keep Gunn on just for that alone.
Also Iger might want to run for President in 2020. Now, put yourself in his position; if you run, do want to have a rep of keeping a guy like this on, and then try and blast Trump on (comparatively) mere marital indiscretions? You'd be torn to shreds. That's if every other fucker in your own party didn't murder you first with attack ads and debate hits. Instead, firing Gunn gives Iger some cover and some brownie points with sensitive moderates (not a small crowd).
So, all these people bitching about Gunn getting fired can't see the big picture. Which is why most of them are e-begging on Patreon rather than sleeping on beds made out of Benjamins.

BIG NEWS
After James Gunn was fired, dozens of celebrities on twitter started deleting their tweets by the hundreds, with one even going as far as deleting over 9000 tweets (no joke and I wasn't referencing that DBZ meme) and a bunch of celebrities have gone silent now. But that's not what the real BIG NEWS is. The real BIG NEWS is that Rian Johnson himself is among the celebrities, with him having deleted over 200 tweets in the last few hours (pic-related). Could said tweets actually be a risk to his career? Did anyone archive his deleted tweets or know which ones they might be? I know its underhanded but this could be a real big blow to his pretentious ego. Also what about Kennedy or Chuck Wendig or any of the other SJW writers? This could be our chance to go on a purge.

Perhaps, but people also swore that Rose and Finn would never become an item in TLJ because the SEA market would not accept a black on yellow romance and yet they went through with it. I would also expect that in any hypothetical election match-up that most media outlets would bury anything inconvenient to Igor and blare 20 times as many pussy grabbing retreads to drown it out. It could be that things are different now because of how the profits from TLJ and Solo wounded them.

Now this is fascinating. I wonder how many did this all together and why now when it's certainly not the first celebrity or high-profile individual who's been embarrassed by politically incorrect blog posts from many years back. Is it all independent panic and damage control or are they part of some group and decided to start scorching the earth?

The only reason he was fired was because Disney wouldn't want anyone if any allegations near their company's image, because what's their image and main-market? Kids and their parents.
It wasn't because of the tweets, it was because of the allegations and to not tarnish their image in being the major big kiddy (diddler) media.

There's a few deleted tweets, at least 23 have been removed…but considering he's on Twitter all the damn time he's made 250,000 of them (really) and posts all the damn time. He could have just nuked 23 (which isn't a lot) or he could have removed 123, and made 100 posts since then. Really hard to say.

What are you on about man? That's cuckchan /pol/ reacting to youtube shit and doing a good job of actually being funny. Gunn was just being a weirdo and roleplaying as a pedo with a friend (who actually turned out to be a pedo) for no real reason while not reacting to anything. The only time he reacted to anything while making tweets like was when he said he got turned on by that incident where an ape jizzed in some kid's hair.

Honestly they have no one to blame but themselves. Any smarter faggot would have just anonymously shitposted on /b/. Still Mike might learn something from this since he approved of using Twitter to shame people and ruin their careers in the form of "freedom of speech does not mean you're free from consequence". He's received a taste of his own medicine and so have all his followers and hopefully this will make them realize that their tactics are stupid and this will either begin the de-tumblrfication of Twitter or the end of Twitter.

First of all, "not funny" and "he's weird" is not a reason to get up-in-arms over some kike faggot. That sounds like something a fucking middle schooler would find issue with or a normalfag, since (ab)normal "adults" are essentially overgrown children, and this is my biggest issue.
Second, I'm not sure I'd call his tweets "roleplaying", and you're outright lying with

No. He's deleted over a thousand tweets as of yesterday according to socialblade and an additional 22,000 a few months back. Also, all the celebrities who were hating on SW fans have suddenly become ridiculously quiet and their tweets mostly tame when concerning SW. Even Rian isn't daring to bear his fangs. This is it. The pussyfooted Disney pawns are realizing they're not as invincible as they thought. This our chance to either strike back or watch them crash and burn.

YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play. WCB released a new video warning people not to be too trusting of Disney just because they brought back Clone Wars. The comments are surprisingly filled with people on their side and the EU side, but (as expected) the Disney defense force has arrived and are using the fucking "Skippy the Jedi Droid" argument as to why the "EU is shit" without even realizing that the story was a lighthearted parody of the EU… How can these pleb faggots be such idiots? I mean, I could understand hating the EU if you actually know the material and had personal beefs with it, but just using the same old dud arguments based on ignorance of the material is just getting tiresome.

Its by the same casuals who shit on Skippy and the EU in general for daring to have even the slightest hint of comedy or parody within it. But its also mainly because Dorkly and other "nerd sites" released a lot of anti-EU articles after Disney announced they had retconned it for the sake of the defending the corporate mouse. Skippy, Tag and Bink, the Ewoks media and the Wookiee Holiday Special were always on the top of those lists, with barely any novels ever being mentioned, and you can tell they just skimmed wookieepedia articles to find out why they thought X was bad.

Nobody said they weren't bad, but having just those two and Skippy are the easiest and most casual way to go about it. A decent well-researched list would at least have Jedi Search, and none of them do.
