DC: “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn was removed from the third installment of the Marvel franchise after old tweets resurfaced that appeared to be racist, homophobic and pro-pedophilia.
“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,” a statement from Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn read, according to the Hollywood Reporter Friday.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reported on the deleted posts Thursday. In response, Gunn tweeted that he used to “make a lot of offensive jokes,” but was no longer that way.
“Many people who have followed my career know when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor,” Gunn tweeted, before explaining that he’s “very, very different than I was a few years ago.” MORE
I’ve been following this today. Humor my ass. Raping little kids has no comedic value. This guy is one sick muther fxcker. And guess who ran to his rescue tonight? Well none other that little Ben Shitpero.
From Disney,
*** appeared to be racist, homophobic and pro-pedophilia.

That’s rich
If ever there was an excuse to sending the electronic sniffing dogs to look for hidden kiddie porn files hidden behind the drywall, James Gunn’s tweets alone provide enough reasonable cause to issue a warrant.
And Bad_Brad beat me to the punch. Shapiro totally out twerped himself today. It’s like going to Ronald McDonald House and cracking cancer jokes….you don’t cross the line. Given the likes of Victor Salva and Bryan Singer, Shapiro should stick to commenting on people like Mark Zuckerburg, not defend Hollywood’s potential pedophiles.
I watched it go down live. Cernovitch and a few others dragged him out. The dude tried to delete the tweets. Too late. You loose.
Pedo. Literally.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 sucked and Gunn’s value to Disney collapsed to disposable.
It sucked the way Gunn was outed. He was defending another Hollywood type against the SJW mob and the Daily Caller dug up his old Twitter posts. The way humor is dying in America, the US will end up becoming Germany, before 1945.
Not surprised. Guardians had several odd jokes that didn’t seem to fit. One was Starlord joking how much sperm coated the walls of his spaceship and the other had the Raccoon joking about putting a huge piece of shi** in Starlord’s pillow. Personal touches from James Gunn no doubt.
This is the atmosphere at Disney Studios these last many years. Filled with homosexual and pedofillic references meant to send subliminal messages to children. It’s absolutely sickening.
This pervert was just picked from the crowd.
Walt Disney himself wouldn’t have just fired this guy, he would have knocked his teeth out.
What a sad thing that old Walt’s wonderful company has been totally infiltrated and taken over by leftist sickos.
IRONY
I’ve been a Walt fan for 74 years. You are absolutely right! But Walt was at odds with his stockholders all his life. He had to form 2 separate companies, sell his polo pony ranch in PS, and put a big mortgage on his mansion (he called it a house; but to most folk it was a mansion.) to build Disneyland. The stockholders would not let him sell bonds to build Disneyland. T 2 years later they talked about suing him because some folk bought the old Co’s stock think it owned Disneyland, and the new stock buyers were talking about suing for misrepresentation!~ – Have I mentioned how much I like lawyers?-. To solve this “problem” he merged his new companies into the old WED.
The week before died he said “there will never be any President other than the one who said in 1863 “Government spending is merely sand in the gears!” memorialized any Disney park. But when Epcot opened there were many other than Abe memorialized!
Full disclosure – I have been a premium yearly pass holder for many years! Biased I am.
Glenn Beck is also defending this pervert. He “forgives” him.
