Yes. I know some too. If you are talking about the everyday people that are working in the industry. Like cameramen, electrians, grips, ect... They are very normal. Tend to be liberal but they aren't the ones that dabble in the nefarious stuff.

So you do support Gunn.
You support a guy that grabs women by the pussy without even waiting for their permission.

Unless of course you have a functioning moral faculty, in which case you immediately know there’s something different about what Gunn said.
Nobody with an ounce of sense would distrust, for example, Ticker Carlson around women due to the jokes he made about women.
Anyone with an ounce of sense would not trust their kids with Gunn, due to the jokes he made in which he sexualized children.
IOW you are making a false equivalency.

If GUnn is a leftist, it will explain exactly why he was reinstated.

You do realize what jokes are right? It's called shock or dark humor. frick your moral compass it doesn't dictate if a person should keep the job or not

Seems it's liberals who survive. See governor blackface.

Sexual contact with women is the same as sexual contact with children? Is that your starting assumption?

I realize that people want the license to say literally anything under the guise of comedy. I think it’s an absurd position, and people who want to treat comedy as some esoteric art are being ridiculous.
Also, it’s not up to me whether he gets to keep his job, and I’m not outraged about him keeping his job.
If he worked for me, he’d be fired on the general principle of not wanting to employ perverts.
Go read his tweets. If someone persisted in making such “dark” jokes in normal company he’d be ostracized because normal people would know he was sick. Even making one such joke would have normal people looking at him sideways.

Too much logic for this board, but yes. You are correct. Dude was just trying to push buttons, did it long before being hired by Disney, and obviously grew up when he got a real job. There was never cause to fire him in the first place.

Again your moral compass is not the same as everyone else's. I don't expect everyone to find dark jokes funny but I'd at least hope people have enough sense to not want others fired for their sense of humor.
I really hope you don't piss yourself when someone on the right gets attacked for an old joke made a decade ago

I can’t wait for these clowns to discover the Aristocrats joke and how many people have said it.
Even that, while tasteless and indicative of a rottenness at the core of many of these comedians is different, because it's clearly a type of performance art and one can see the point of it, even if one doesn't think the juice is worth the squeeze, so to speak.
I know that you could respond that my not seeing the same thing in Gunn's tweets is just "like your opinion, man", but that is essentially advocating for the abolition of all standards of decency, which, again, is absurd IMO.
The damned thing about it all is that the people who (not you, I'm talking about the culture makers) are advocating for the abolition of decency standards aren't ACTUALLY doing what they seem to be doing. They just want different standards of decency.
For example, by their standards, it's acceptable to make jokes that imply that the comedian is an actual pedophile or would like to be. That's ok. But it's now beyond the pale to make fun of trannies or to wear blackface or to have locker-room talk about the types of floozies who flock to billionaires.
That's postmodernism, and it's destructive and evil.

If they make a lot of jokes fantasizing about raping children I hope they don't expect any sympathy from me when they rightly face the consequences of being so shitty.

I'm sure you're emailing ABC demanding Roseanne get her job back, right?

Being approving of consequences for some extremely perverted jokes about a particular subject IS NOT THE SAME THING as approving of consequences for any joke that some people find offensive.
It can’t rationally be called hypocrisy simply to have limits.
