Gutsy.

And for Pratt to be leading that charge is damned gutsy considering his standing.

Let me ask you this: are people afraid of saying "racist" things in public, or challenging the equality narrative? Of course they are, and it's changed out culture for the worse. So yes, the strategy works.



I’m not asking you if the strategy works, I’m asking you if you think it’ll stop. You’ve got the strategy down so what’s the end goal?

I wonder what they'd say about signing the same thing for Roseanne.


Being as Chris Pratt is a big Christian I would say, similar.

I applaud their efforts.

Tweeting pedo jokes as an employee of Disney is like tweeting racist jokes as a employee of the NAACP.


I get that and get disney firing him. But i dont like when either side targets someones job for their legal actions. I dont like when the snowflake dems do it and dont like it when the republicans do it.

Maybe it is a war and we need to fight fire with fire, but I dont like it.

Has Gunn come out and...

1.) Denied that he's a pedophile
2.) Acknowledged that pedophilia isn't a laughing matter and is a serious subject that shouldn't be normalized
3.) Acknowledged that true pedophiles should be SEVERELY punished

If he did that, and apologized for his words, that's good enough for me.

I suspect that he hasn't done that though. And, instead, he's just played the "it was a joke" card.

Would you say the same thing about Rosannes one tweet at
2:30 am one night or let guess that's "different". Only thing we
are trying to do is show the hypocrisy and the double standard.

What the hell are you talking about? Yes, I think that it is possible to shut down obnoxious progressive bullshite with this tactic. It will be better than it is now. It's possible they could even cower in holes as they used to do and as the good lord intended.

Progs aren’t going to be any less obnoxious. They’re not gonna all the sudden lay off the microagression crap or stop pushing transgenders and the next big thing. All this does is turn you into one of them.

It's hilarious that while libtards are bending over backwards to defend a grown man who made hundreds of pedophilia and rape "jokes" they are simultaneously trying to destroy athletes careers for using the word "fig" a few times when they were teenagers.

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.


Just imagine it as a situation that you were a part of.
You learn that a co-worker, friend, principal at your kids school, maybe, years ago made a shite-load of jokes about raping kids (and not just generic jokes. The exact ones Gunn made), and you’re in a position to influence what happens to the person.
You’re just going to tell everyone to forgive and forget and move on like it didn’t happen? Just because you think he’s a good person? Based on what? I find it hard to believe they all know him so well and so deeply that they are CERTAIN that the mind that produced those jokes is really the mind of a good man.

I’m not saying to convict the man based on what he said, but I’m saying that I would demand he open himself to a very thorough scrutiny before I accepted that it was just some bad humor from a good man. And honestly, I would never accept that a sound mind would produce that filth.

yup

If you subscribe to the thought that opinions should be punished (progressives do), then you can logically conclude that progressives view "homophobia" as worse than pedophilia. In fact, being that they don't want to punish for pedophilia, you can assume that they support it.

Would you demand the same scrutiny if he joked about killing babies?
