Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (2023)

When did Milo ever endorse pedophilia? Didn’t he claim he was the victim in that?

He was conflating pedophilia and homosexuality. He was trying to argue that in the gay community, sex with underage people is more accepted and less of a taboo than it is with straight people, which is totally not true.

You really shouldn't take much of what Milo says very seriously. He's more of a troll than anything. He doesn't come across as very sincere. Just seems like he gets off on playing with people's expectations, "Oh, I'm a gay conservative... look at me!"

I think he could do a lot, he's actually a good actor, he was great in Blade Runner as well.

Never saw it. I wasn't crazy about the original and I heard the new one was a snoozefest, so never bothered. One day i'll catch it.

Its pace was slow, yes, but it wasn't boring.

Anyway, what made the newest BR great were the visuals - really impressive on the big screen.

Neat and it's not worse than the shit I saw Gunn spew(being an edgelord does not net one a pass, and James had more than just a few of these kind of comments so the excuse just plain stops working), and Kevin Williamson? The excuse there is what?

Bottom line: both sides are being held to the same standard. If they do not like this? Well, they need to cut the shit out. Instead of them bending over backwards to excuse it. What I've learned is: this shit is okay if you have the right politics. If you don't? It's much harder to forgive.

Which just is not going to fly anymore. That ship has thankfully sailed. And I say good riddance to it.

Not everything is exactly equal you black and white retard. You act like everything is this simple. The only thing simple here is Surtur’s mind. Your existence is offensive to me and the fact you won’t work makes me disgusted with your parasitic ass.

Not everything is equal, but it simply isn't true to just draw the sort of line where it's "these leftists didn't cross it, but these conservatives did" in the way some seem to want to do.

Okay so this is pointless. It's unlikely James Gunn will be hired back by Disney. At least anytime soon. If I personally could decide his fate? Yeah I'd have him hired back.

I just think people everyone needs to slow down whenever they think someone has said something offensive. Mike Cernovich is a piece of shit. His audience is trolls, but what sustains him more than anything is that people give in. He himself has said messed up shit about kids and rape.

We need to stop letting hurt feelings dictate so much of our lives.

There is no contradiction really. It's all a part of the outrage culture. Things don't need to be 100% equal to result in the same outcome.

So you admit this isn’t anywhere near as bad and agree with me. Gunn needs to be rehired. ASAP.

Ehhhh I think for Gunn it might have been the sheer quantity of them.

I will say yea he should be hired again. But it seems unlikely.

Cernovich went after the creator of Rick and Morty too.

I mean if Disney just refuses to hire him again...DC sure as hell could use someone competent. He could probably make a decent Justice League movie.

^ Alt-righters saying "I want to kill Jews" isn't the same as stupid edgelord jokes from a decade ago.

Bingo

Don't get me wrong, what Gunn said even in jest was gross, but this "it's the same!" equalization tactic is pathetic. The Cult of Trump loves doing that to make themselves look less shitty.
