shitcanned by jack fuckin posobiec, ouch

sounds like bullshit

but deserved sacking after sequel anyway

was some load of old shit

ugh, revived the other thread without seeing this one

it is truly remarkable that people don't delete all their old tweets the moment they get any kind of success

surprising the film companies don't have policies on this stuff. acquaintance who is a political spin doctor got a promotion and was given a day off before commencing the job to delete/edit any questionable internet content that he may have posted on social media or forums

nobody knows whomst tf I am and I rarely tweet anything particularly inflammatory (and uh certainly nothing approaching what's in those Gunn tweets) and I *still* have them set to auto-delete after like three weeks

whats in the tweets

Examples are in the links above. Pretty bad “Transgressive” rape and pedophilila jokes from 10-12 when there was less of a pushback against that. He was criticizing Trump this week than people like Cernovich and his followers started looking through his past tweets.

He's an ex-Troma guy, right? That makes it *extra* wild to me that he wasn't digitally vetted.

how it got to this is inane. dude wrote Tromeo and Juliet, nobody thought of looking at any of his social media before investing hundreds of millions of dollars in him directing a family friendly franchise for Disney.

what he said

See, this is why I use my govt. name as little as possible online. Can you even imagine how my ILX posts might come back to bite me on the ass, given that I'm the current vice president of the United States? WHOOOOOOOMPS

obviously the bad faith of Jack Posobiecus is off the fucking charts but I can't really go along with everyone on left twitter who is already calling this a clear symptom of gamergate culture because one of those tweets uses the adjective "disgusting" to describe someone who is likened to a "tranny" and if a conservative cultural figure tweeted that these folks would be calling for their head.

I love the idea of mike pence writing that stephen king sex paragraph parody
