James Gunn: what is your response to him being fired?
#29
RE: James Gunn: what is your response to him being fired?
Got word from Disney. According to an anonymous source in Variety, “I don’t see Disney re-hiring him. Those tweets were so horrible and Disney has a different standard than other studios.”

A different standard, where kowtowing to pushes from right-wing trolls like Mike "Pizzagate" Cernovich in the guise of trying to stop rape culture is a perfectly fair action. Actually doing the right thing doesn't really matter, as long as you look like you're doing the right thing.

And the sad thing is this is exactly what political correctness is: the same reactionary and censorious mentality that used to be ubiquitous in the right being applied from the perspective of the left. And just because it's being applied to causes I can legitimately get behind doesn't make it any less repugnant to me.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
