And my grandparents were transphobic until at about age 84 a random morning show showed them the exact right thing that made them understand. Age doesn’t matter. You’re always learning. The problem is when you refuse, and if he says he got better (not good, only better) and there has been no incident that contradicts…

Exactly. This was a prime opportunity for a large company with seemingly unlimited influence to take a stand. To draw a line and teach about context and how we won’t just let fucking Nazis weaponize false morality to destroy people they hate.

Have you ever even googled the Paula Dean case?

Well the same thing happened to Paula Dean on Food Network. She admitted to using the N-word decades ago when she was younger and had since learned that it was terrible. Still got fired.

Cause its Disney.

Another person who I was not demanding to be fired.

I’ll say it: Gunn should not be fired.

I didn’t know how to feel about this until you brought up Depp. Now I know that firing Gunn while not firing Depp really is hypocrisy and they are assholes for picking and choosing.

Yeah, the message Disney wants to send is not the one it’s sending. The real message they are sending is “Don’t bother trying to improve yourself and mature, cause you’ll get pilloried for it anyway. If you ever did something bad in your life, you’re screwed, so why not go for broke?”

Pretty sure this is the first time Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich will ever be called SJWs....  

Cowardly reaction by Disney. And one that I don’t think is going to have the desired effect. In theory, the goal is to send a message that you don’t tolerate... what, exactly? Lewd and offensive humor? From almost a decade ago? Because an extreme right-wing troll (who himself has engaged in things equally offensive)…

Yup. They will absolutely do whatever they can to find any dirt on Johnson that they can.

He should not be fired for year-olds tweets he has apologized for in the past, especially since he has cleaned up his act a lot since then. His firing sends only one message - don't try to improve your behavior towardswomen or minorities - you'll be pilloried no matter what, so just go for broke. 

Yep. The Pandora’s Box Disney just opened with their quick termination here is going to have way more ripples before it’s all said and done. Especially because this same breed of toxic fandom has beef with the Star Wars films and will take this as open season on Abrams and Rian Johnson never being associated with…

This is why we can’t have nice things. This right the fuck here.

Lets be clear here:

Wait, Disney’s surprised James Gunn would have made jokes to shock?

And the snake continues to eat itself.

(is this series going to be a lighter, more child-friendly tone?)

I think it might be a mix of “this is all new to me” (really? You are over 2,000 years old)
