The right-wing version of the SJW went after a left-wing director, and it didn’t take long to take the guy out. The director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies got FIRED over a bunch a of tweets.
Watch below:
Apparently it started last night when “alt-lite” Trump tweeters started to find really really gross and sick tweets from James Gunn from years ago.
They started posting them again, and eventually he done got fired:

Also don't forget James Gunn also stole the script from a women writer for GOTG Vol 1. pic.twitter.com/OR8clTO3bc
Dear people of Twitter please stop calling rape jokes and pedophile jokes “trash opinions” that ain’t no shit you can just apologize for. James Gunn was a whole ass adult when was was saying this shit. There is no amount of apologizing that excuses that shit.

Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite Marvel movie and I considered myself a huge James Gunn supporter. However, after seeing these disturbing tweets I think Marvel did the right thing.

Now people on the left are freaking out:
1) James Gunn said awful, disgusting things.

2) We need to give people space to grow, and learn from their past.
3) Mike Cernovich and the alt-right have weaponized the left's morality. He is not operating in good faith, and is a toxic opportunist. Do your fucking homework.
Obviously James Gunn's jokes were fucked up but if you believe Cernovich really gives a shit about that, I've got some brain pills to sell you

The James Gunn firing is very dumb. He made some terribly shitty, offensive *jokes*. Disney is playing into the hands of context-shifting alt-right trolls.

I don’t endorse this, it just seems like hyper-partisan politics, but I have to admit that it’s fun to see them freak out when their own rules are applied to them.
Ironically, Gunn didn’t have much sympathy for Roseanne when she was fired:
When it comes to the topic of Disney firing @JamesGunn, I think we should listen to @JamesGunn. pic.twitter.com/vctdjCwj9w
