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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[Shuri]

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.

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]

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.

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

The alt right and Reset make a powerful team.

tfw when you get randoms fired for years over racist/sexist/phobic jokes on twitter, but then GAMERGATE starts using it against your marvel directors

[venereology]

it looks like another mod reopened that thread that nicole closed after throwing a hissyfit if anyone feels like shitposting

[paprikastaude]

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT DISNEY GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS AND EVERY DIFFERING ALT RIGHT NARRATIVE WILL BE ACTIONED HERE

hopefully someone has saved Ryan Coogler's tweets so he can't escape the wave of justice from the right side of history

Exactly. Which is what I am really getting at. You just know if they were tweets from someone on the right, they would be falling over themselves to be outraged by it.

[nachobro]

very excited for all these new defenders of the right to say harmless, yet offensive, jokes to be 100% behind the next comedian that gets blowback for a joke about rape or women or whatever. i don't see this playing out any other possible way in the future.

[benjipwns]

this will be another date that goes down in infamy as a Terrorist Attack by GamerGate

never forget, or else you ain't slick, "just asking questions" we know your real purpose for posting Comrade "Both Sides" Moderate

[who is ted danson?]

wow, great page of posts, keep it up

[benjipwns]

this also proves we just have to keep up the pressure on that transphobic marrec by pointing out his transphobia and how much he's a transphobe and eventually we too will get results at stopping the transphobic marrec from spreading his transphobia

because it's definitely not a good look

allowing marrec's rabid transphobia that is, history of transphobic infractions, account still in transphobic junior status

Holy shit, is SweetNicole defending PEDOPHILE JOKES?

This thread is a honey pot for alt right posters. I hope the mods are paying attention.

hOLY SHIT THE MODS ARE ALT RIGHT

 

[benjipwns]

i look forward to when the moderators start actioning to enforce an opinion onto the situation, will this continue to get a pass because of bad faith motives by GAMERGATE who uncovered the problematic but old tweets so we should let it go because he needs to finish Guardians and plus this can only help Trump and the Nazi's who will use it to chill important voices? or will we self-correct to establish that not having a perfect past is always and forever a crime which you can never apologize for because people can't change as the non-revisionist view has maintained?

fyrewulf's expose on how the moderators aren't doing anything to stop further Russian infiltration of such important cultural infrastructure as ResetERA makes me suspect that the moderators will soon forcing users into pledging allegiance to Trump and running off minorities with death threats

[BadAss2961]

Gunn got got by the twitter mob.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/disney-severs-ties-with-james-gunn-after-controversial-tweets.56755/

Lot of Reset fanboys needed to be checked. This quick trigger they created got one of their own.

[benjipwns]

Gunn should have tried the Joy Ann Reid defense, it's apparently super effective.

[ChewyWaffles]

Twitter is quickly becoming a liability.

It’s been that way a while. That said, if you’re a professional on twitter and haven’t pruned your “problematic” tweets you are definitely playing with fire.

[james]

Im literally shaking at my comic book heroes being problematic

Reee hypocrisy is unlimited. Also, lol Disney doesn’t care about progress but their bottom line.

[Assimilate]

When are libtards going to realize that trying to play the moral high road with conservatives is a losing proposition.  Conservatives don't care about their members' slight past aggressions, and libtards far and away exceed in the creepy people department. Hollywood is filled with creepy underground pedos and sexual aggressors.

[Boredfrom]

The fucking irony

 

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10610996/

Fistfulofmetal is suddenly sweating, I wonder If he considers now a liability for his girlfriend for posting in the alt right forum called The Bore.

[Optimus]

SJWs and certain liberals have basically invented the method of pretending to take seriously tongue in cheek/humorous/not that serious comments while purposely ignoring context to become outraged about them and smear people and now they're upset and surprised the alt-right is using the same tactic against them?

Having said that how fucking pathetic would if be if the rumors are true about Gunn getting fired from Disney for this? We've reached peak snowflake society. GotG btw is the only tolerable Disney franchise, can't wait to see how Disney will manage to fuck it up now if Gunn leaves.

hopefully he scrubbed his Natalie Portman creep-folders. My guess is he still keeps them hidden away on some remote external hd.

[VomKriege]

Gunn has been canned ?
Like being "edgy", whatever the fuck it means, is his whole artistic thing. His jokes, his devious ideas for scripts, his films. That's even probably why he got hired in the first place to do the lighter, slightly off tone Guardians... The power of OPTICS®...

[BisMarckie]

Hmmmm... would there possibly be a big acquisition in Disney's future coming up that needs approval by Trump's DOJ?

[agrajag]

Disney in a couple of years:

Allow us to introduce the new GOTG director, Mr. Semaj Nnug

[Boredfrom]

Man, Reee still doesn’t get it, feel they are missing the point when they think Disney is doing for the moral imperative of the left ( ). Not that Gunn was so outspoken to the point of accusing other actors of pedophilia so it becomes a easy target for scumbags as Cernovich and PR disaster that Disney could care less of having. Disney shouldn’t have fired him but Gunn seems totally clueless of why people get annoyed of moral crusades made by corporate employees.

[Jenkem]

getting people fired for tweets is fucking awful unless they are a nazi or don't create things we like

this james gunn thread lmao

"he apologized, this is too much"
"getting fired? over a tweet? wtf"

 

[Partition]

The biggest crime on Ree right now is a collective of people pretending that the GOTG movies were good 

[Nabbis]

Jesus Christ those people are idiots. For all of their sourced social studies crap they still don't understand sociological ramifications of mob justice.

Of course that Disney knew, they probably could careless and were willing to ignore any shallow controversy until Gunn was liability. If I need to guess, there is probably a bigger drama with him and this just was one reason to cann him.
