The guy worked for TROMA. And he was tweeting that shit before he was employed by Disney. So again, fuck them.

I really hate James Gunn now. They are replacing him with Michael Ian Black and Patton Oswald. Could they find two bigger douche bags?

If they wanted to dump him because those tweets were dreadfully unfunny, I could see it. If you're going to joke about kid diddling, you have to hit a home run.

Guardians of the Galaxy star quits Twitter after James Gunn firing

Guardians of the Galaxy cast members are having varied online reactions in the wake of writer-director James Gunn’s firing from Disney, but one has opted to quit the social media platform altogether.

Michael Rooker, who played outlaw Yondu Udonta in the first two films in the franchise, announced in an angry sounding post on Twitter he was leaving the platform. Gunn was fired by Disney last week after he became the target of a right-wing online campaign to oust the director over obscene decade-old deleted tweets. Rooker doesn’t specifically cite Gunn’s firing in his exit post but recent events have fans assuming that’s the reason (plus, Rooker’s Twitter profile photo is the actor posing with Gunn).

“This account will be inactive after today,” Rooker wrote. “We’re very tired & upset over the ongoing BULLS---… neither I nor my rep will use Twitter again. Twitter sucks and I want nothing to do with it. Thank you to all who gave kind words & support. See you on Instagram.”

Guardians star Zoe Saldana (Gamora) also took to Twitter to post a message that’s being assumed to be a reflection on the furor surrounding Gunn’s dismissal:

It’s been a challenging weekend I’m not gonna lie. I’m pausing myself to take everything in before I speak out of term. I just want everyone to know I love ALL members of my GOTG family. Always will.
— Zoe Saldana (@zoesaldana) July 22, 2018

And star Chris Pratt (Star-Lord) wrote this:

“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters. Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.”

JAMES 1:19

Dave Bautista (Drax) was from the Guardians crew to first to post outrage about the firing last week:

I will have more to say but for right now all I will say is this..@JamesGunn is one of the most loving,caring,good natured people I have ever met. He’s gentle and kind and cares deeply for people and animals. He’s made mistakes. We all have. Im NOT ok with what’s happening to him
— Dave Bautista (@DaveBautista) July 21, 2018

Meanwhile, fans have started an online petition urging Disney to re-hire the director with 170,000 signatures as of Monday morning.

dave bautista had a more "all-in" tweet about the james gunn thing before. i found these two replies to be sufficiently hilarious...

it's prolly not worth it to log into twitter to tell good ol @NAZI_HUNTING that he's an enema of liberty, huh?

i've always hated michael ian black since i was first introduced to his brand of smug smarmy "above it all (especially you)" comedy on VH1's original "i love the 80s" --- so stumbling across this earlier = "go figure"

Post subject:  Re: James Gunn

My stance is not particularly surprising or unique: either everything is funny or nothing is.

Somewhat inneresting how things have morphed over the years from Lenny Bruce to James Gunn, and who the ones are that are shitting themselves over words people say.

Bury him for it not being funny, sure. But you don't lose your job over a shitty joke, let alone one said a decade ago or whenever it was.

This business will get out of hand. It will get out of hand and we'll be lucky to live through it.

It's already very out of hand and dangerous. But it's just college kids and people on Twitter.

You ran out of ideas really quick this time.

Once again, for like the 15th time, I think you missed the point of that thread.

I really, really think you need to stop obsessing about race so much. It's every day. The conversations never amount to anything, and you just come off as your average angry white guy.

I'm sure your rebuttal will contain the appropriate amount of smarm as usual. So go ahead. Type it out. I'm here reading it.

If you think I'm obsessed with race you are missing the point. Average angry white guy. You are brainwashed.
