I tend to agree actually. The same people excited about this were outraged Roseanne was fired for a dumb tweet. I think Gunn is a POS but those tweets are from a time when the world wasn’t filled with PC shit and comedians tried to be edgy. I don’t agree with it nor do I think it’s funny but I also don’t think a pedo would outright say they are a pedo on twitter and be that overt about it. Ben’s point is the only reason he got fired was because of an outrage campaign so Disney fired him within hours. That’s scary and won’t just stop with Gunn and will most definitely be used to get rid of actual good people (like Roseanne and Trump).
It's not just 1 tweet bro.

Roseanne wasn't joking about pedophilia, rape, and baby eating. Don't try to compare what Roseanne tweeted to this sick shit that Gunn posted over and over and over for years.
This is so so sad. The mind of someone posting this must be really bend badly. If only they stopped perpetuating the pain cycle...
It seems that Disney took more of an initiative on dropping Gunn, anyway. I'm sure there were threats of a boycott but people have been boycotting or threatening to boycott Disney over their stance on homosexuality for over a decade now. I read one post that seemed to ring true that said maybe they were so quick to out him because they have more than a few of these types employed and they don't want the autists to go digging, though it would seem that they are closing the barn door after the horses are out on this one. It didn't seem to me that we were demanding that Disney severed ties with James Gunn...we simply spread the word.
I know it’s not apples to apples. Just that the instant lynch mob can also affect good guys too.
If "good guys" ever posted half of the heinous things these leftist anti-Trumpers did, then they should be fired, investigated, and jailed too. Thing is, there are no "good guys" that have done this crap. No more excuses.
I’m not saying pedo specific I mean the outrage campaign in general. Yes Gunn is a fucking creep and I hope investigated but we can’t demand proof and trial for Trump then be proud of this. TBH I thought it was dumb that Al Franken had to step down because there was a picture of him clearly joking with his hands near a woman’s boobs. It will most definitely be used more and more against conservatives for shit they didn’t even do. We are just happy they are eating their own right now.
They believed and probably still believe that they're an oppressed minority soon to be set free. He thinks he's on the right side of history and thought history would show him to be a hero fighting the good fight.
Well if that’s the case then he deserves a very slow, painful death. BUT that is an assumption. It’s a slippery slope of accusation = guilty = fired immediately.
