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

I think they honestly thought their mod justice tactics would never be used against them. I don't know if that's severe naivety or being dumb.

Being fair, many people in Reee don’t have a real background in social studies beyond some semesters studying this in a community college.

1) James Gunn said awful, disgusting things.

2) We need to give people space to grow, and learn from their past.

3) Mike Cernovich and the alt-right have weaponized the left's morality. He is not operating in good faith, and is a toxic opportunist. D

They're doing the exact thing with censorship. When eventually corporate censorship they lobbied for turns against them they're going to be having multiple meltdowns.

can we get bobby's hot take on this gunn grave?

[VomKriege]

We point out the hypocrisy but I think most people at ResetEra (the ones we deride anyway) are way beyond that at that point. I mean we're talking about a bunch of folks who literally believe the ACLU is NAZI-ADJACENT because they defend out of principle the right of free speech of alt right dickheads.

As noted, consistency is never even an issue in their discussions, it's always about whether this is a (real, imaginary or perceived) win for the "wrong people". I don't think most of them will stop to reconsider the insanity of the logic, instead I expect that it will become a " game" of scoring more "points", getting more outraged and getting people fired faster than the opposition.

[thisismyusername]

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.

Well, if the rumor mill about who James was talking about is right, I don't think "accuse" works here.

I checked. He's just retweeting his greatest tweets of the year. 

[FStop7]

Nooooo, not muh comic book movies!

For real, it sucks that he was fired over some old ass tweets.  It's ridiculous. 

But Reee going into Cirque du Soleil level contortions over it is pretty damn funny.  If they adhered to their own insane standards they'd be in agreement with his firing.

Yeah, but is a insostenible game given how many of them have Gunn like stuff in their past. People like  Patrick trying to climb their high horse while having stuff like his dude bro films in his past or he attacking activists because Alison Rapp.

[Optimus]

Someone who has twitter ask Bobby why he's supporting the work of pedophiles. That'll get him going.

That women doesn't seem like she's consenting. Why is kotaku employing rapists?

Patrick has made his own immature tasteless jokes in the past so it makes perfect sense he’d defend Gunn.

However, just like Gunn I think Patrick has grown as a person and deserves to be forgiven for doing stupid things in the past.

Alison Rapp

[Nintex]

The James Gunn thing is very stupid and I for one enjoyed the GOTG films and this probably won't improve them.
With that said it was to be expected.

- The modern left introduced data driven campaigns (2008 - 2012) only to see their own toys (Facebook) being used against them in 2016 with devastating effect
- The modern left introduced 'FAKE NEWS', which has been weaponized by Donald Trump at this point
- The modern left introduced grass roots political activism and political engagement by non-voters, only to have it turned against them in 2016
- The modern left introduced identity politics which was flipped upside down and used against them
- The modern left introduced mob justice and #MeToo which has now cost them Al Franken, James Gunn and a bunch of others

They just keep creating more weapons for the (alt-)right to weaponize and use against them. The censorship thing being next is spot on.
It will look very different than what they expect under the rule of conservative media, Jeff Sessions and Silicon Valley.

[FStop7]

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

Disney deserves some credit for offering same sex partner benefits and never flinching on supporting Gay Days at Disney World, even when the loudest of the loud evangelicals were screaming for a boycott.

Maybe they're not that company any more now that they're so gigantic.

It is almost like Disney is a megacorp without principles that will drop anything or anyone as soon as they become a potential liability.

If the internet can raise enough stink about Star Wars Kennedy and Rian Johnson will get the boot next.

Disney has shareholders, you know. And they don't give a fuck about all this nerd shit.

It is about the money, Lebowski.

They deserve credit to an extent, but...

Also, if Bob Iger is going to run for president he don't want this to be a talking point for the right.

Bye, Gunn. Disney is an absolute monster now. No one individual is that important anymore to them. It is not exactly high art.

"Walter take it easy..."

"JUST LOOK AT THIS SHIT DUDE. THEY'VE TOTALLY JAPPED HIM UP"

Let's be real, people aren't mad Gunn got fired because of their politics, people are mad because he directed a Marvel movie and there's nothing internet nerds hate more than people touching their toys.

[Transhuman]

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.

I dont think it was created  by the left so much of the failure of not recognizing how this stuff was already used by religious nutjobs and moral guardians and how destructive it was. Reee still thinks this as some sort of “good vs evil”, something stupid as fuck given they are actual adults that should recognize the warning signs.

If he really wanted to apologize he should have donated to anti-abuse charities and spearheaded programs.

It sets a terrible precedent. As if like this shit hasn't been going on for years specifically because of progressive left activism. I mean, it wasn't that long ago that the PR chief for Netflix was fired in a way that you would think was a fucking parody. The Left has created this insane climate.

Scene 4 - Walter and the Dude go to a colored kids house who claims to have original Mickey Mouse comics

Walter: "Hey man we saw your ad, we like your style all original. We want to buy those comics man"
Seller: "I just threw my dad's old stuff in the trash to make some room for my Star Wars shit you know you got here like 5 days too late"
Walter: "WHAT DID YOU DO?"

*grabs baseball bat*

Walter: "YOU tell me what you did Mister and you will produce those original 1970 Mickey Mouse comics or I swear to god I will trash your entire Star Wars collection"
Seller: "Hey, Take it easy man"
Walter: "DID YOU JUST QUOTE THOR RAGNAROK?"
Dude: "Walter.... the guy just asked you to take it easy... he trashed them man, nothing we..."
Walter: "DO YOU KNOW HOW CG MOVIES ARE KILLING REAL HAND DRAWN ANIMATION? DO YOU? DO YOU LIKE THOSE JAR JAR DOLLS, I BET YOU DO!"

*Walter starts smashing Star Wars collection*

*police arrives on the scene*

Officer: "GET OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP. DON'T WORRY SIR I WILL PROTECT YOU FROM THIS BURGLARY"
*nervously fires gun at defenseless African american kid*
Dude: "Oh great Walter, you just created another racial controversy and had this kid shot in his own home just what we need man"

*cop rushes out the door*

Walter: "DO YOU THINK THAT I WATCHED MY BUDDIES DIE FACE DOWN IN THE MUD JUST SO BOB IGER COULD DESTROY STAR WARS AND MICKEY MOUSE"

Dude: "Walter, stop being so angry. The kid has been shot. His leg his bleeding. We have to go to the Hospital and he probably can't afford that because we didn't buy his comics"
Walter: "First casualty of the war dude, first casualty...."

This is quite incredible. Excelsiorlef with a sense of perspective. Since when has excelsiorlef had a reasonable take on anything? lol

It's really quite something reading her posts in this thread.


 

[Jenkem]

the sense of perspective comes when it is about defending the esteemed marvel cinematic universe

don't worry, the perspective won't lead to any actual self awareness.. the bore will still be useful

[nudemacusers]

I believe in atonement.

You have a Goku avatar. Goku forgives people who have tried to kill him (including one guy who actually did kill him), tried to kill his friends, tried to take over the world, tried to do all sorts of horrible things. But characters like Piccolo and Vegeta actually did change and became some of Goku's most trusted and dependable allies. But what you're saying is you don't believe in one of the biggest things the character whose face you wear every single time you step onto this forum advocates.

Yeah. I don't expect it to. It is a nothing more than a perceived attack by the Alt-Right that she feels she has to defend against. And so, all of a sudden her opinion is more nuanced.

In fact in one of her posts she said this:
https://www.resetera.com/posts/10616745/

    Because part of this is for the alt-right to destabilize left wing shit too.

    They want people to now go oh maybe MeToo has gone too far and turn against

    They want people to go oh maybe the person being racist right now shouldn't get fired look at what happened to James Gunn.

No, she is in full support of the outrage mobs costing people their livelihood, and sees this incident as nothing more than the Alt-Right trying to destabilise that goal.
