Guardians Of The Galaxy 3's James Gunn Fired By Disney After Old Tweets Surface

Remember when they fired Roseanne for a "joke tweet she made"

Everyone cries foil and blames the person being fired for things they did years ago until it happens to them.

Just wait until your place of work digs into your past or some stupid exposing website ruins your life. Over a joke. No matter how tasteless and stupid his comments were.

Wonder how many people up in arms with his firing were celebrating Roseanne's.

Two things: James Gunn tweeted "jokes" that were disgusting nine years ago & deserved to lose his job. Disney aren't spotless & need to take a long look at themselves. I'll leave at that & keep on gaming.

@timmyp1982: Better call up Disney and ask them that question. I’m sure firing him was a mistake then, mental midget.

This is HILARIOUS seeing as how its the left who use this tactic bring up someones past in order to destroy their career and now the conservatives have caught on

I’m still waiting for the blowback from the time I called my neighbour a “stinky poohead” when I was 5. Revenge is a dish best served cold and I’ll bet he’s just biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and derail my entire life.

My sincerest apologies to you readers for my use of such extreme language.

You know, Hollywood seems to really be the only place that can get away with this.

If you fired someone for this in my industry (multimedia technical support), on these grounds - something that you were already aware of, that were originally cool with, you'd have a Labour Board ready to sodomise you with a chainsaw if you pulled this, and you'd have one of two choices - rehire and stiff fine, or payoff and stiff fine.

Either way, you're getting screwed right back pretty uncomfortably.

Some have said "Disney had to fire him".

No, they didn't. They could have stood behind him. In fact, they should have.

They knew that he was an overactive smarta$$. They also knew of his growth - he was right. There. Working for them. So they also knew of his actual character.

On the subject of hiring him back, never going to happen. I don't think many people would go back to work for someone that treated them like that. At least not without some measure of payback, and I doubt that the House of Mouse wants to deal with that.

I mean, what kind of product would you put out for someone - a person, a business, or a corporation - that treated you like that?

Me, I'd go for the guaranteed win - I'd go work with someone else. Not just for. Actuallywith.

"Resurfaced"? You mean a piece of garbage alt-right page went digging and found 10 year old tweets to try, and unfortunately succeed, to get an outspoken liberal fired. Disgusting.

It's official: nobody can take a joke anymore.

Apologies for triggering anyone with no body. Souls are people too.

Further apologies for triggering anyone with the word, "triggering". Gun deaths are serious.

Even further apologies for mentioning death. Death is not real, you will live forever. Everything's going to be OK.

The weak-minded continue to sanitize this world to make it safe for their delicate sensibilities.

His tweets were really disturbing to say the least IMO. He seemed to be obsessed with having sex with young boy's and said some pretty terrible things even if he was joking.... I found nothing funny about what he was saying.

Man I heard Batista got fired from this for speaking out against it

Let people make their shitty jokes.

Could you imagine if disney held themselves to the standard they just held James Gunn too?

A quick google search will point out some of Disney's less glamorous days.

Their record on women in animation...their overtly racists cartoons from back in the day.

The notorious and ongoing practice of underpaying their workers.

Im just saying...glass houses and all lol.
