The fuck he does. He dismissed it by saying 'oh i was just being edgy/a provocateur'.

This makes no fucking sense. If being Christian was a major aspect of modern America, this may have some validity but it isn't. But if it was, nowhere in Christianity or modern society, does it say to forget anything. Forgive, sure. Christianity has the ideal of making a mistake, paying for that mistake, and being welcomed back like nothing ever happened. Modern society doesn't have the welcoming back part. There's also the punishment part that I haven't seen him suffer so far. Some anger, losing a movie, what else?
This guy pushed very hard that words and images have immense power. Here's some karma, bitch. Lastly, do you think anyone is going to forget and forgive those Pennsylvania child molester priests? I'm thinking....no.

Solid points with the rest of your post, but again, the difference here is -- as far as we know, Gunn didn't molest anyone.

Very true but what exactly needs to be forgiven or forgotten then? A company that has been child focused since it's founding doesn't want a guy who, in the very least, makes pedo jokes and very poor decisions. Why is that even an issue? Why would anyone care if they moved on considering that knowledge?

Whether he is or isn't pedo is something we will probably never know barring some video or pics coming out. People are judging him based on what is out there. That is what people do. We aren't a court and don't need a preponderance of evidence. We look and decide pedo or edgy comic. For those not grasping why some folks are judging him based on his "jokes", it's because we have a societal norm. For many his jokes crossed a line.
Feel free to feel otherwise, but consider this. Go to prison as an accused pedo and tell everyone it was just jokes. Even murders and rapists consider pedos on the lowest rung of the ladder. Gunn is fucked for life. There isn't a real "I was joking" defense for this shit.

if you are being paid to keep quiet then you go with the money. there is no money in Mee Too, which is why the washed up no-money whores are the ones coming forward to say they were molested/raped.

She's already rich as hell from phoning it in on the X-men/Hunger Games movies. Doubt she will give a shit when her acting career is dried up.

Edgy humour is called that for a reason and pedo jokes are where you go over that edge.
Some things should not be acceptable to joke about in public, and social media is public, I think pedophilia crosses that line. I am not calling for laws, but disney is a childrens’ entertainment and merchandising company and should have a zero tolerance stance on that issue.
Free Speech doesn’t mean free of consequence, just free of LEGAL consequence. You can still be fired, banned, or smacked. Gunn crossed a line, years ago, and left it all out there for the world to see. They saw and it burned him.
No author is ‘forgiven’ for their writings, the internet is no different. Every time it is read by someone new it is like it was just written for the first time. That is the way writing works, on the internet as well, and people are all learning that the hard way.
The internet never forgets.

You just swapped out pedo jokes for real pedophilia in your analogy.
"People are judging him because his jokes crossed the line... Go to prison for pedophilia and tell everyone it was just jokes... there's no defence for this shit"
This makes no sense whatsoever

It was drawing a line to show even the lowest of the low spit on pedos. I was pretty clear in the 1st paragraph that we don't know if true or not and it could have been tasteless joking. The point is that at this point it doesn't matter for lots of people.
