Making a movie about a group of people from history isn’t the same thing. I have gone on record in the past on the other IMDb board as liking the GotG a lot. But then I found out about these tweets (and it’s a lot, not just oneI haven’t watched it since.
I know how it looks, but I’m not being like that. I honestly can’t support someone who makes jokes about people dying in a massive terrorist attack, or AIDS, or raping people while they are asleep etc.
I worked at a Child Advocacy Center for 2 years dealing with kids who have been sexually abused and then I worked as a counselor at a prison with pedophiles. It’s not funny.
Although Hollywood is such a cesspool of degenerates and assholes that I feel like you have to be looking the other way on some things to zero in on Gunn. At least he's just trolling, which is more than I can say for someone like Spacey or anyone who was pals with Epstein.
I personally love offensive humor, though there are limits and sometimes Family Guy and American Dad go a bit too far.
For me humor makes the horrible aspects of life more tolerable and also can draw attention to stuff. The more offensive the humor, the more cathartic it can be.
Speaking of zeroing in on James Gunn, Tom Cruise is worse than James Gunn.
