James Gunn fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. [re-hired]
Bunch of old tweets surfaced after some conservative activist outed some of his tweets from 2009-2012 making gross pedophilia jokes. Gunn hates President Trump's guts, so he was targeted by the group.
Somebody else here can post the tweets, as I'm on my phone, but mostly it reads like mindless stupidity, but yeah -- they were totally made in public on Twitter and Gunn works (worked) for Disney now, so. I've got mixed feelings, but it's hard to argue that Gunn didn't deserve the ax, even though it's going to hurt the quality of one of the best movie properties out there. |

**** everyone. Everyone decided to live by the sword. Everyone can die by the sword.
Which is my increasingly irritated way of saying, James has done his fair share of social media shaming, shunning and destruction. |

Now I have to decide whether to boycott the GOTG3 movie. It won't be as good as it should be without Gunn at the helm.

Sucks that he poo pooed their dear leader, and a bunch of alt right shit birds dug up tweets of jokes that were pretty lock step with the times almost a decade ago.

Don't blame the Alt-Right. Blame the Left and their tireless crusade to destroy everything. This is just using the weapons they created against them.

Number #4 on the Rules for Radicals in play. The Left hates it when they are forced to obey their own rules.

I don't understand how Gunn went from making the Scooby Doo movies (utter trash) to the GOTG movies. It is impressive.
