The rest of the article just kind of expands on that, goes on to talk about how the characters in GotG themselves are all former scoundrels who have gone through changes for the better, just like Gunn himself since making those tweets 7 years ago.

"Disney destroyed it"--great points that attempt to villify a company for a witch hunt the media actively engages in. Gunn was hoisted on his own petard. He was prolific on social media espousing the very kind of witch hunt mentality which came around to bite him in the ass. I have zero sympathy for people who have supported SJW retardation getting nuked for this shit. The only way these witch hunts end, is when the mob becomes too scared to find their incessant bullying and outrage fun anymore.

Yes, but have any of those other former scoundrels talked about or diddled children?

I can't hear you over all the people calling me a racist just because I am a Trump supporter.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think he should have been fired, unless there was something more than just bad tweets. However, the SJW's and #Resist people created this "Age of Outrage" and they were stupid to think it wouldn't boomerang on them. It's hilarious to me that this wouldn't have even been a thing 3 years ago.

I used to tell dead baby jokes, too. Of course, I was a teenager and not in my mid 40s. Some of those tweets don't even appear to be jokes, they're just pedo statements.
Really it comes down to him either being a pedophile, or just the dumbest mfer on the planet. Either way, I have trouble feeling sorry for him

You never have to ask if someones a pot smoker, they'll tell you.
You never have to ask if someones an Atheist, they'll tell you.

As others have said, if I had my way, no one would be fired for humor, or ribbing other people unless you have quantifiable evidence of a loss due to it. I think appeasing the mob makes everyone a loser in the end. By making it about money, you're just appeasing your customers, and that requires the 'mob' to give up something in order to express their outrage, which instantly makes any mob less destructive. But Gunn was there cheering for other people to be fired for the same kind of cheap mob mentality, where the only currency was outrage and the only cost was outrage, so fuck him.
(As an aside, not directed at you as I believe you're saying what all of us are, that this mob bullshit is ridiculous, but just more as a 'shower thought' about the current state of social justice dogma in the U.S.)
Has anyone thought about the implications of people who justify firing people for "being racist" vs Gunn? What does it say about us as a society that we view that POTENTIALLY inferring a black person is lesser by making fun of their looks, as a joke, is somehow more profane than expressly joking children should be raped and abused.
What does that kind of value system imply about a society? How utterly deranged and ridiculous it is and the kind of effects it must have on discourse between groups within society, when you confirm we view a racial group as more vulnerable and delicate than children. Really, not much shocks me anymore, but watching a lot of people try to argue Roseane deserved it, while Gunn didn't has been a sad kind of summary of our ridiculous values right now, and seeing how oblivious people are to it illustrates how this new kind of perverse racism has taken hold.
