| Topic | If Disney HADN'T fired James Gunn.....would anyone have cared? |
| Zeus 08/17/18 7:19:14 PM #24: | GreenKnight127 posted... If Disney hadn't fired James Gunn (the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies) do you think people would have liked Disney any less? The same could be said for firing Roseanne or any number of other individuals. And Roseanne's case was even stupider because she had a very long, documented history of offensive tweets. At least Disney didn't realize, "Oh, shit, this guy is a pedophile!", going into that relationship and then fire him for that same reason. And, of course, there's the broader issue of how okay people are with actors and directors being objectionable individuals. Clearly there's been some leeway in the past, considering that known pedophilic rapists like Woody Allen and, to a lesser extent, Roman Polanski have continued to enjoy their careers and fame because people like their work.

The Twitter outrage is meaningless compared to the real-world outrage that would follow if Disney brought back a known pedophile to work on films to work on films with a large child following. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
