I find all of this ridiculous because Gunn got into trouble over these very same tweets years ago. He publicly apologized and Disney allowed him to do "Guardians of the Galaxy". The same material is exposed six years later and this time, he's punished for it, despite the apology he had made and the fact that he had ceased such behavior after his original apology.

Times are different now. If this came back up last year nothing would have happed.
At least there's some reason to be found:
Disney stands firm on James Gunn not returning to Guardians of the Galaxy’-exclusive

That is disappointing news
Hopefully they will at least use his script. But Disney might not want his name on the film at all and scrap it.
The downside of an end credits scene is studio's sometimes don't have everything set in stone. Things might turn out differently than what they planned.
I'm mainly talking about the Adam Warlock end credits scene for .Vol 2
Obviously he was going to be featured soon. Most likely .Vol 3.
If they go that route do they have to credit James Gunn? Or will the script with Adam Warlock be set aside for a new "James Gunn less" version?

So a pile of garbage masquerading as news.
Adam Warlock... I wonder if they will get the same actor to play Goddess?
Adam's female aspect, run amok in the real world, after he purged himself of sexuality.

No, it's a pile of shit masquerading as "news".
The last time I read about Adam's female counterpart, she was called "Her", and IIRC she was still looking for Adam unaware that he had died. I think this was a Marvel-2-in-1 from the early 80's.
Adam should've stayed dead at the end of Starlin's classic run. Unfortunately, to keep the copyrights and trademarks, they have to bring the character back every so often. Shame, because what little I've seen of post 70's Warlock has been utter shit.

Didn't he purge himself of all good and evil?
Different female counterpart, "Her" (also known as Ayesha and Kismet) was created the same way Warlock was, by evil scientists of The Hive, while the Goddess is the good aspects of Warlock that he purged from himself after acquiring the Infinity Gauntlet (along with the bad aspects that formed a new Magus)
Agreed that Marvel Two-in-One Annual 2 should have been the end for both Warlock and Thanos. As epic as Infinity Gauntlet (but not it's sequels) was, Starlin peaked with both characters in that issue.
Worth noting that the MCU's version of Her/Ayesha/Kismet was seen in GotGv2.

The worst thing is that the people who made it into an issue weren't really upset. They were a group of alt-right white nationalist trolls mad at Gunn because he was liberal and very much against the alt-right and other dangerous groups. This was politically motivated and a dangerous precedent, this will happen again.
