James Gunn has been removed from directing “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” following the resurfacing of offensive tweets published on the director’s Twitter page years ago. Alan Horn, Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, issued a statement declaring, “The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him.”

At least we can both agree that Disney is of the Left.

Just a drop in the bucket.

When they make a habit of zero tolerance for this shite, we'll talk. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on, it's not okay.

Given the Tweets we've seen just imagine what Disney's IT people must have found on this guy's work computer that we don't know about.

So apparently Gunn was digging up old Ben Shapiro tweets to attack him and bunch of supernerds decided to turn the tables on him.

IMO Getting fired for a bunch of lame 10 year old jokes sucks, and the people that dig up old tweets are dweebs

Fired for lame jokes from 10 years ago, or lame jokes about 10 year olds? There is a difference.

After reading some of those tweets, I can't say I blame Disney one little bit.

I've never heard of this guy, but it sounds like he needs more than a firing...like weekly meetings and a court order to stay 1,000 feet from elementary schools.
