Disney rehires Gunn for GotG 3

Are you kidding? Disney couldn't buy all the P.R. those "icky tweets" generated.

Speaking of "icky."

I'm feeling Icky from all those smart pills I've been taking.
Suppose you're right. Money always wins out.

What's in those pills??
 
You probably have a tumor the size of a softball.

Honestly I'm kind of surprised.

It's so weird how "selective" people are about what they get outraged over and what they let fly.

I expected gunns old tweets to be just like some jokes that went slightly over the line and a bunch of people crying over nothing as usual but they were actually pretty damn vile tbh

He's got away with it though while others have lost their careers over words half as offensive

Weird
 
I do actually think his tweets are pretty damn bad.

Thing is, he did apologise for them. And in a way that’s shows he does understand what he did wrong, why it was wrong, and didn’t expect forgiveness just for doing so.

It leaves me in a position of ‘well, what else can I expect?’ Though note: I still think Disney are a bunch of absolute cowards, and their conduct through the whole thing has been shite. Including rehiring him once the ruckus calmed down/he switched to the competition/the success of Cap Marvel and Black Panther showed the likes of Cernovich don’t have the pull that they once did.

Plus he hasn’t repeated it in over a decade, plus I am kinda familiar with Troma. That sort of humour is very on brand for them. It’s what I kinda expected from a studio where Toxic Avenger is probably their most accessible movie.

Which is why I’m amused by who went after him for it. They used to be the exact people who’d scream ‘snowflake’ when ‘SJW’s’ would comment on something ‘un-PC’ like Bloodsucking Freaks or F-g Hag.

There's a difference between Gunns tweets which are genuinely vile and someone tweeting that an actress looks hot in a movie trailer and getting accused of "toxic masculinity" or some nonsense.

One is a very legit concern another is a ridiculous sjw "micro-agression" and snowflaking

Why the fuck would you quote me, but not actually respond to anything that I said?
 
1. Don't swear at me

2. I did respond, it's not my fault if you can't comprehend it.

Ha. Now who’s ‘snowflaking?’ Not many people advertise that they cry after every fuck.

And which part of the post exactly is it a response to? There’s a few points there. Explain the relevance of what you said, to what I said. Be ergonomical. Make it so every person who could ever possibly use this board, will see this clear and oh-so-obvious connection.

After all. One of the best ways to indicate that you actually have a clue, is that you can summarise your position.

If you can't control your emotion and talk in a civil and non-hostle/abusive manner I'm not going to continue to converse with you.

Have a good day.

That has nothing to do with her quote. You just want to shift to a confusing attack on the left, one based on your imaginationary boogieman version of liberals.

Then you started to attack her.

I've already seen you being vile in this thread, now here you are once again spinning your version of my posts.

You and I are never going to agree on our positions so I really suggest we have as little interaction as possible.
 
Better to be ‘civil’ than to engage in good faith, eh?

There’s a quote about Civility just being the thin veneer that hides the ugliness brewing beneath the surface. I think that need to find it and make it my signature.

And use ‘fuck’ to punctuate it.

Dont interact with me!

Even though you were here first.

And I actually butted in to whine about people calling me out for being a Twitter perv.

And ‘interaction’ by definition requires me to participate, meaning I could take responsibility and end it whenever I wanted.

...Hans, are we the baddies?
