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.


Um...you are exaggerating the issue here. Wording it that way makes it sound as if you believe James Gunn is a CONFIRMED AND CONVICTED pedophile. He isn't.

All he did was joke about it on Twitter.

Joking about something doesn't immediately mean that person is condoning it.

I know a frightening amount of dead baby jokes. In fact, in Stephen King's Dark Tower series, they use dead baby jokes to defeat Blaine the Mono. (seriously, it's hilarious).

That doesn't mean Stephen King or I support the murder of babies. It just means we can acknowledge dark humor for dark humor's sake.

We just live in professionally offended outrage culture. Everyone is a politically correct Nazi. And they aren't behaving that way because they are genuinely morally upstanding. They act that way because they are virtue-signalling. And it's pathetic.
