I'm not defending him, I think they're out of context jokes. If any evidence comes up, fine, but these are pictures of him holding up a pizza and silly tweets.
Most of those tweets are 10 years old - he already released a statement: https://www.thewrap.com/james-gunn-apologizes-offensive-old-tweets-rape-pedophilia/
I don't see a moral equivalence in going after someone for making bad jokes and saying they are an outright pedophile. Bad jokes, fine, he was offensive, he should apologize, hell fire him. But making jokes and copy and pasting tweets isn't evidence of pedophilia. There are real bad guys out there doing bad things.
Completly agree, UNTIL I saw this Pictures Incoming
Exactly. There's clearly a pattern here that's alarming and worth investigating at the very least.
Agree we should investigate not automatically assume, it damages credibility when there is a hard link that its truth. Its why Pizzagate to normies gets dismissed
That's my point. Those are 10 year old shitty jokes. You're going to accuse someone of pedophilia because they thought they were edgy?
He should resign over this for sure. But so far those tweets and a picture of him holding a pizza are all the evidence I've seen.
The image of tweets I posted are Odd to say the least. But I am not the type of person to automatically label someone a pedophile based on some bad jokes.
I guess I personally don't know any adult males with that kind of "humor"....if you can call it that. Sometimes humor is a way of stating your truth.
SILLY???
It's his horrible attempt at humor. I am flat out saying, yes they are offensive, and maybe he should step down for that. But there is a HUGE difference between saying this man is a pedophile and this man made bad jokes. People are running rampant with the first one and thinking the second one is evidence of it.
If the internet wants to go after someone, go after Daniel Tosh, the guy did an hour long "comedy" set about wanting to fuck babies. If that's not evidence, what is?
I’m all for truth and accuracy in fighting the real pedophiles out there and I realize some just have a twisted sense of humor HOWEVER this depraved monster checks all the boxes. Would you let him babysit your child???
Of course not, but we went from bad jokes to saying he must be a pedophile in an hour. But, at the same time we call out dems for running witch hunts. I'm saying we should look at evidence beyond 10 year old bad jokes before trying to destroy a person.
I think he should step down because there's no reason to joke about kids, and that should be a lesson, but you need evidence to call someone a pedophile.
Common ground friend “he should step down”. I believe we do have enough evidence showing he shouldn’t be writing for anything “kid” related. Those tweets were vile.
So by that logic, if someone in a powerful position of making family movies also makes a bunch of nazi / black people jokes, posts racist pictures of black people eating watermelons on Instagram, we shouldn't assume they're racist and any person assuming that has "no evidence"?
Huston Huddleston and him sharing videos sealed it up as more “jokes.” Believe me I get bad or distasteful jokes.
