The guy shared a tweet of kiddie porn and CC’d a guy who’s in jail for pedo crimes right now. It was much more than jokes

You like jokes about diddling kids?



I’ve laughed at all sorts of dark shite. Dead baby jokes were all the rage years back. Does that mean we were all cool with shoveling infants with pitchforks? There’s jokes about the holocaust. Does that mean we condone the killing of 6 million Jews? You know the answer to this Roger, don’t be selectively outraged.

Gunn being fired for what he said is asinine. Period.

I'm sure the board proggies will join in agreeing that Papa John being removed was equally asinine.

I'm sure it'll happen any minute.

Oh well, Pratt, I thought you were maybe different, but you’re just another corrupted Hollywood star


Why the hate on Pratt? It’s a prepared statement that they all signed off on.

And it’s not an excuse or a demand to have him back... it’s a “he screwed up, we’d like to have him back.” I think it’s a fair statement.

I don’t like Gunn’s politics but he’s not been an overt dick.

I don't think he should have been fired, and I respect Chris Pratt as a person, so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt if I didn't already hold that opinion.

That said, the left owns outrage at thought, the left owns the active pursuit of personal destruction for things that people say, and super liberal Hollywood fired him.

Who are you trying to put this on?

Who's outraged? I just asked you a question because you seem very angry about this.

A little moral honesty would be awesome about now.

I avoid certain types of humor, but do feel more strongly about the people who enjoy it rather than the people who deliver it.

I’m a big fan of the Guardians films. That said, I’m against Gunn returning. Liberals wanted to weaponize social media against conservatives and it worked for them, getting people like Roseanne fired. Now they get mad when it’s one of their own. Reinstate Roseanne and I’ll support Gunn. Otherwise, tough luck.

You want to find hypocrisy? Then gaze your eyes on this.

I hope Gunn is a great guy, and never had anything but completely honorable sex. And I hope all leftists shudder in fear knowing it is possible they might be next.

Gunn also made jokes about AIDS, 9/11, and the Holocaust.

The only jokes people are talking about are his pedophile jokes.



Maybe some people have a different standard when it comes to joking about raping children and having children jerk you off.

The lot you came from started this shite. Hollywood has been the grand champion of mob justice.

You mean turned into culture warriors who've embraced the weapons so often used against them?

Right I’m really buying that people are more ok with gassing kids and throwing them in an incenerator.

Yeah, I guess that’s what I mean. You’ve embraced their weapons but have lowered yourself to their level, congrats. I guess you’ve won.
