GotG’s success really is 100% James Gunn.

He’s been spewing this nonsense for YEARS. It’s taken over a decade to get to this.

Alex Jones is one of the worst thing that has happened in America and he deserves to be ignored, ‘cause he knows he is presenting misinformation, propaganda and hateful lies in order to get some sweet bucks. If the US were at war, he could be thrown to jail since yesterday. If he were in Europe, he’d be in jail since…

I don’t much care for Mike Cernovich or anything either but I’m not sure why his dumb ass being the source this is some sort of qualifier for the shit tweets. Just cause bad human uncovered the bad behavior due to his shit motives doesn’t make the behavior any less bad.

It’s the difference between saying your coworker shouldn’t have been fired and it was a mistake, and saying that your workplace is a cancerous shithole.

Yeah, Google Kim Basinger and Boxing Helena, or Whoopi Goldberg and Theodore Rex, and imagine Disney as the plaintiff.

There’s no way that the actors do this. It’s literally what the contracts they signed were designed to prevent. And it would destroy their future earning power, because nobody wants to sign an actor that causes that much trouble for the studio.

And then Disney sues for breach of contract, asking upwards of $2b in damages due to lost theater and home-video revenue and merchandise sales.

From a legal point of view, it seems strange that Disney even could fire Gunn if they knew about the posts before he was hired and it was something they had already discussed at any level. Either way, this is pretty stupid (the entire argument from the people who pushed for his firing was “pedophile jokes =…

If hypocrisy were a crime, we’d all be doing life.

That isn’t a workable policy. How does that translate to two co-workers dating? What if they’re dating and then one gets promoted over the other? Do they have to call it off? What if they’re married? Does one have to quit? What if, etc. etc. etc.

The high school teacher was wrong not only because there was an institutional power disparity, but also because there was an intellectual power disparity. It’s not up for interpretation.

Related to your last questions, I’m OK with Takei because a) his accuser admitted to fabricating the egregious aspects of the story (i.e. those that would qualify as sexual assault) and b) because no one else has come forth to suggest a pattern of this behavior.

Guess guess people can't meet and marry at work anymore.  Guess my boss is a sexual harasser because he's been married to his wife for over 20 years who he met at his work.  Guess I'm a sexual harasser because I dated a girl that was under me at my work for 3 years even after both of us left the job.  A relationship…

IDK my high school teacher dated a student like the minute after she graduated. He was maybe 30-35 and she was 18. Of course, they said the relationship started AFTER she graduated, but that is likely BS.

Almost certainly, but in that case it won’t be due to insufficient evidence, but Scientology money.

His lawyer’s statement is ridiculous. Nobody could prove with sufficient evidence that he’s innocent. Nobody could prove otherwise, that’s the whole stupid thing of it. It’s not like his accusers were proven to be liars and he’s this innocent victim of framing. That faux outrage is just insulting to people’s…

When “willing to do ethically questionable or outright unethical things” is a job qualification, that does sort of put a damper on the quality of people you have available to hire.

Because fuck them. That’s why.
