James Gunn Fired


I wonder if there are many people in here who will support the Gunn firing.

I knew of Gunn before he became famous.  The guy was with all those Troma people who always tried to outdo each other with shocking, Anti-PC faux bon mots.  I believe in one of the introductions to a Lloyd Kaufman's book James Gunn went into great detail about how he self pleasured on Kaufman's desk.  So consider that social environment.  It doesn't carry over very well into the DIsney brand in 2018.

Literally ALL the Troma people were constantly saying the most vile shit possible to try to outdo themselves.

If you honestly think that 90s edgelords like Gunn are actual abusers then I fucking don't know what to tell you.

I am getting old because all these idiots just don't understand that actual provocateurs would ACTUALLY say awful things.

Why would he say this?  It's not even a joke?
Yeah back then (Jesus I am getting old) that was the point.
All the Troma people said those things BECAUSE they were vile and disturbing.
Not because they were child abusers/murderers.

It's really strange seeing the younger generation from both political extremes totally smug and justified in their beliefs that someone should get fired because of words with no context that are almost a decade old.

The dream of the Anti-PC 90s is well and truly dead.
