Cernovich's involvement invalidates any sort of good faith argument. Now, I don't much care about a few edgy jokes James Gunn wrote in his past, but how does Cernovich's involvement invalidate a good faith argument exactly? The validity of an argument stands by its own merits. What difference does it make who makes the argument? And in this case, it isn't even necessarily the argument Cernovich is making it is merely his involvement in unearthing the tweets. Is there no objective standard in which people are judged? I mean, James Gunn could've made tweets that are far worse. He could have made overtly racist tweets for instance. By his logic the mere act of cernovich finding the tweets would mean all arguments that James Gunn is a racist are automatically invalid. lol
It's a stupid argument that they somehow keep repeating. There are reasons why Gunn imo shouldn't have been fired, but that it was an asshole who dug up the tweets is irrelevant
I see you guys are confused about how this is supposed to work. See there are people on the right side of history who act in good faith, and people on the wrong side of history who act in bad faith. The actual results, and even specific events are irrelevant, what's important is the march of history in its mandated direction. Bad faith actors exploiting the tools of history to slow its march invalidates the whole process, even if it would be valid if a good faith actor did it. Intentions are what matter.
You seem to think there are principles involved, when principles exist only to be discarded when necessary to advance history. But principals (as in actors, not school administrators) are very important because they embody the intentions of history. And are the vessels which it uses to push itself forward.
James Gunn under any circumstances is clearly more on the right side of history than any GamerGater, Trump supporter, Nazi, etc. History would never choose the latter as a vessel by which to advance its means, so in this situation James Gunn is the only one who could be moving history forward so he is to be defended, especially as his opponents are not only trying to regress history but are exploiting the means by which history acts in a bad faith way purely to further regress history at a later point in time, probably on some hill they're willing to die on.
