I wish there were a blanket term for people who overanalyze comedy. Those are the people we should be punching in the face, not nazis.

This must have been some absurdly offensive remark that triggered the word filter.

Dude was basically a scammer, now crying wolf. Death threats and harassment is shitty deplorable stuff but empathizing with him ain't really my first choice.

They didn't deserve to have to put up with any abuse but they absolutely fucked up big time not delivering what they said they would, along with the game being monotonous as shit

I couldn't help but notice this in their interview

One poster on Reddit drew up a list of everything Murray had said in interviews about No Man’s Sky, cross-referenced with what was actually in the game. It was not flattering.

The press didn’t attack Hello Games when No Man’s Sky turned out to be a different game than the one some players had expected. Most reviews noted its emptiness, but critics also praised its lonely mood, Asimovian aesthetic, and the astounding technical feat of generating an entire universe of planets and systems complete with procedural flora and fauna. But unwittingly, the press gave the attackers ammunition. After a couple of weeks, disappointed players moved on, and the angry ones were all that were left.

The thing about jokes is that they're often not designed for everyone to find funny.
 

So now it is OK to like edgy jokes? Hopefully Reee will remember that when they inevitably go into their outrage about South Park.

[agrajag]

If James Gunn was an Era member and posted those edgy jokes on the forum, would he catch a ban?

If he PM'd the joke to known Russian troll Freedom Fighter who then leaked them to the forum in general he'd probably be fine

[Averon]

If they are so angry/concerned/annoyed that the alt-right uses the left's outrage against them, and they acknowledge how effective it can be, maybe that is a sign to stop being such uptight, finger wagging, moral absolutists? Just a thought.

This is the alt-right plan to silence them and I've not seen a single leftist come up with a good defense against it except for Bill Maher who was excommunicated from the group almost immediately and labeled a Nazi.

This is also a text book 4chan troll strategy

You'd think so, but I'm not sure they're even entirely aware that it's the same MO.

Instead they insist that it shouldn't count when the alt-right does it.

He isnt wrong, although his links dont work.

But he was insufferable in the World Cup thread.

That 2 week ban?

You betcha I reported that post.

Gunn got got.

This shit is why I was talking about self-reflection in that thread.

We brought this shit on ourselves.

[stufte]

Twitter is quickly becoming a liability.

[nachobro]

impossible, only sniveling gaming corps like the cowards at arenanet would drop someone over bad press. i read that on the internet somewhere.

[Averon]

Surprise surprise. Going on moral crusades to get people fired for their ultimately innocuous social media postings came back to bite them in the ass.
They NEVER think the shit they want will ever backfire and affect them.

[stufte]

if it really was the alt-right, they're using the same exact tactics that the ctrl-left use.

looking forward to the sexist double standards as the people who defended the firing of jessica price get outraged over this firing

Since i know you read this thread - maybe the sexist double standard is yours, since you'd rather post this shit over defending Gunn, you fucking clown.

[marrec]

Which is what I said in the first thread. Cernovich is using the exact same methodology of soc jus twitter.

I got cussed at for false equivalencies.

Less than 1% of those threats are carried over, most of them are empty threats thrown by 14 years old who are afraid to go outside. How is that a real problem, unless you're fragile enough to take them seriousely in the first place ?

Like most of the dev or directors who fuck up nowaday, Sean pulled this card instead of properly adressing the problem like a man. It's always easier to play the "hate group gamers" card instead of facing your personal failures as a game directors/developpers.

[Averon]

Remember Count Dankula? Remember how they wanted the government to jail him for making a silly Nazi joke with a pug? And that was only, what, 3-4 months ago at that.

This is what they wanted. And now they are getting upset this new standard applies to them too.

[EightBitNate]

The method of attack is so effective we clearly don't care.

We were able to get Roseanne taken off the air like this. As long as someone has some kind of employer related accountability they're vulnerable to something like this.

James Gunn died at the alter of Soc Jus so that some random racist will get fired next week.

I have no problem with people being fired for their current shitty views. I do have an issue with firing someone for 10 year old edgy tweets. But this is a "reap what you sow" thing, so

I don’t get why Re is so pissed off that Gunn was fired over disgusting comments?

Those comments were disgusting. Even if he apologized for them.

They have a documented history of celebrating those kind of firings. The whole « nazis are celebrating » framing is super weird.

Werent they angry at The WWE last week for re-instating Hulk Hogan after his fucked up racist comments from 2003?

They  are angry now because it’s going to affect their comics movies.

Jokes? IN POOR TASTE, BANNED
Attractive women on TV? IN POOR TASTE, BANNED
Music? NOT INCLUSIVE, BANNED

Seriously, the World Cup thread had a meltdown every time the TV showed an attractive female fan in the stands.

Apparently if youre not a 400lb heifer, you need to wear a burqa in public because sexuality is BAD

[HaughtyFrank]

Trying so hard to make this about sexism 

Today on Era

Woman working for ArenaNet calls a man an 'asshat'? She deserves to be fired.

White man director makes jokes about giving children facials and raping them? He didn't deserve to be fired!

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10608852/

Should be noted that the same poster was crying in the Arena net thread about how this emboldens the alt-right etc. and now suddenly doesn't give a fuck who dredged up Gunns tweets.

Slither remains the best thing Gunn has done.

[Leadbelly]

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10596611/

I can't in good conscience not feel outraged by this, regardless of the source.

I do plenty of volunteer work politically in a bid to destroy the alt-right. It doesn't change my perception of these tweets.

Cannot forgive
Cannot forget

The person he is responding to:

People being outraged by this are playing right into the alt rights strategy.

It's one of those posts that if you think about it for a bit, it becomes more and more absurd. In other words, being outraged by these tweets is entirely dependent on whether it is an Alt-Right strategy or not. If it wasn't an Alt-Right strategy then by all means be outraged. In fact, if the tweets were from someone on the Right, then you are practically obligated to be outraged.

Surely you're either outraged by the tweets or you're not... no?

[marrec]

Slither remains the best thing Gunn has done.

This may be the only thing we ever agree on.

[Skullfuckers Anonymous]

The Gunn firing is bullshit, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't glad that he'll be going back to making indie films instead of capeshit. He should've done a Gary Whitta after getting the Disney gig.

Sweet Nicole's response

 

https://www.resetera.com/threads/disney-severs-ties-with-james-gunn-after-controversial-tweets.56755/page-3#post-10608361

From what I understand:
The jokes were several years old and public on Twitter.
James Gunn apologized for them multiple times, and he hasn't done any of these jokes for years.
The jokes were dug up by the alt right as a response to James Gunn criticizng Trump.
Disney fires James Gunn

Personal thoughts:
This emboldens the alt right and sets a terrible precedent.
Disney is taking a bad move by bowing to pressure.
Disney absolutely knew about this before hiring him. Caving now looks extremely weak.
James Gunn's apologies were legitimate. I do believe he has changed from the person who made those jokes years ago.

fuck trump for this somehow
