In the case of Papa John, he said the n-word during a board meeting, not just some casual remark on twitter. tbh, while the context wasn't nearly as bad as I had assumed, all the same it was a stupid thing to even go into. At the very least, if he wanted to go into it, he should have censored himself. streamofthesky posted... He was also the "face" of the company, featured in many of their commercials. In comparison...I had no idea who the fuck James Gunn was until he got fired and it became news, and I watch tons of Marvel movies. While I also wasn't familiar with Gunn, I heard his name mentioned fairly often even before the controversy. And, in the interest of full disclosure, I wasn't familiar at all with the PJ CEO as the face of his organization or otherwise.
