Trumped

agreed 100%.

look at how many people have been fired over stuff that happened 10+ years ago, including the director of guardians of the galaxy. not to mention all the grief being heaped on the brewers closer for stuff he tweeted when he was 17. then you add in things like the waiter faking the "no tip because you're a terrorist" hoax, and it just adds to the changing narrative in this country.

there's a certain group that thrives on being offended and then trying to make things 'right.' and it's a growing movement.

There are definitely certain things I did or said 10 years ago that I wouldn't want to affect my current reputation. But nothing as inane as tweeting racist and pro-Nazi crap, or jokes about little boys.

If you mean that they believe God is in control, then yes.  But that also means God was in control when Obama was president.

If you mean Trump is "especially sent by God" then they aren't very smart nor do they know their Bibles well.

You know me brother, just half asking, half instigating.  Just part of my play book.  Blarg still falls for the flea flicker every time. 

I read some stuff being here in the south and I don't believe in the "fake news" theory unless you go to Lou's house for bbq and Hannity , but people do believe to stop the evil Satan God called on him.  I ain't making that shit up, thus my Matthew 7:15 to start this whole thing.

I know there are people out there like that.  They just aren't very bright.

Regarding this James Gunn shit, the left set the precedent here. The right is just following suit so there's no double standard. Even without precedent this dude posted some seriously sick shit, I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with him.

They set the precedent that a racist joke makes you a racist, well then by the same token a pedo joke should make you a pedo, right?

The right should be better.

It is stupid though, no?  I don't think the right is any better but this is still just a bunch of snowflake bullshit.  At least the right had the grounds to say the left were a bunch of sensitive crybabies but now they don't.

As adventurous as that sounds, Rico, I have to pass at this time. But thanks!

Ah yes, I understand the flight from mother Russia to the O.C. can be brutal.

Most of the time, yeah i'd agree.

But the timeline kind of goes like this:

• Some Hollywood guy named Mark Duplass encourages liberals to have an open mind about Ben Shapiro.
• James Gunn jumps in and gives the standard "Trump is a foreign agent, Ben Shapiro is an asshole" etc.
• Somehow a right winger gets wind of his old tweets, and publishes a story on them. And there's a lot of them.
• Disney severs relationship with Gunn
• People go bananas

 

Was the right screaming for Disney to fire James Gunn? I haven't heard that, and if they did I doubt anyone at Disney would care. This is Disney making the best move they could to distance themselves from the issue.

I would agree, but a large corporation like Disney rightfully doesn't want to be associated with a guy that talks about f*cking little p**sy boys.

You think James Gunn actually molested little boys?

Do you think making a joke about black people and fried chicken means the joke teller hates black people?

I think the joke teller needs to throw in some watermelon and cornbread for the joke to really stick.

Watermelon and cornbread make most things better.

[Rico]

Most people that are being accused of racism aren't making simple jokes about fried chicken.   They are usually throwing in some racist terms that cross a line.  They basically show their racism by using these terms. 

As for Gunn.  His jokes definitely cross the line decency. I can't blame Disney for letting him go, they have a brand to protect. But also it's clear to see these are just jokes, just lame attempts at trying to be edgy.

Actually Gunn defended Duplass.

Man.  Bold move.  

Quiet down for your own goddamn good before the mouse notices this blaspheming.  

Heil the mouse.
