If I had known, I would NOT have seen the other two GotG.

ANYONE who would let those words go past lips, let alone put them down for the world to see has severe mental problems. 10 yrs ago may as well have been yesterday. It's not like you were a dumb teenager, you were in your FORTIES.

Maybe you've never had the misfortune to read an article or twelve where a child is raped to death, literally dying from injuries of being raped. Maybe you were molested yourself? Maybe in some way, making light of it makes light of your own issues? Maybe I'm trying too hard to find some way to redeem you.... You certainly seem to be trying to squirm your way out of it without any real repercussions...

Either way, I had not actually seen your face before now, and your face makes me nauseous today.

I rarely side with Conservatives these days...but if Rosanne Nutty Bar should be taken down a peg for her unhinged ramblings, SO SHOULD YOU.

I know he's a friend of Nathan's, but damn.... I could never find it in me to justify having a friend like that. If you have a conscience, you have to draw a line somewhere. A decade of pedo and rape jokes? Yep, that's past the line.


Gunn directs the next GotG, count ME out. I know that won't matter much to Hollyweird, but it matters to me.

I see no evidence he HAS changed, in fact over the weekend all he did was delete thousands of tweets, and make excuses for it. If he were truly sorry he would issue a video explaining why he felt compelled to say such disgusting things and maybe even make donations to the many organizations that help protect children from the shit he basically advocated.

How brain dead do you have to be to advocate pedophilia??? I don't think keeping him from directing one movie is much of a punishment, but it might deter other freaks from doing the same thing. It's clear from reading JSF's post that people listened to him and it had an effect. If the only good thing to come out of social media is that we can collectively take a ruler and smack a dumb adults' hand for misbehavior, we should take it and use it.



BTW....just a point. He didn't remove ANYTHING until it was pointed out. In the last 10 years he never experienced ANY shame about his posts. That tells me more than anything!

No evidence? Apparently you missed all the people who know him personally who have come out saying those tweets don't represent who he is today. I mean Selma Blair doesn't even have any financial self interest in supporting the man and she came out with stories pretty early on in the metoo movement about things she experienced. So, her support seems rather telling to me.

Regardless clearly no one is advocating pedophilia. Comedians and everyday people make jokes about things that they in no way advocate for. That doesn't mean his tweets were ok. They were in poor taste clearly. From what I've read he initially did not delete them as a way of owning his past. He was trying to have a rational discussion and not just hide things. That didn't really work because so many people didn't want to hear anything about the situation beyond the tweets. So, he since deleted the tweets.
