Edgelords have been known to say all kinds of stupid crap for shock value, especially back in the 2000s. That may be true and that's the problem here added to the fact that James Gunn also looks like a child snatcher doesn't help. As I've said before I'm not going bet my pension on whether he's a pedophile or just an edgelord. You seem convinced he's just an edgelord because you like his movies and his political opinions, but that doesn't convince me either. I don’t have strong opinions on most of his movies. His brand of humor is a mixed bag for me. Also, what does a child snatcher look like?

Considering that it was mostly political move by the Cult of Trump, not really.
Although it did make for a chaotic time on these boards. Even had to condense the conversation into one big mega thread so that the usual suspects didn't flood the forum with the James Gunn drama.

No, he didn’t. He was just being an edgelord. Edgelords try to be edgy not gross. Granted some may confuse the two but that would be impressively stupid. Talking about how a young toddler boy turns you on isn't edgy to me or even close to it. You haven't met many edgelords have you? I've met edgelords who like to joke about rape and suicide all the time. Pedo jokes wouldn't be out of place.

This thread is full of people who immediately jump to "edgelord" as an excuse for someone sounding like a pedophile. America in all its glory. You don't know whether James Gunn is just an "edgelord" or a wannabe pedophile. So leave that to the psychiatrists and continue watching and liking his films.

No dude, this board is simply full of people warning you to not make judgements and assumptions on people you don't know. Especially when all you have to base your assumptions on are their jokes. It's a valid piece of advise that you'd be foolish to ignore.

At the very least it means he has a warped mind (and this shows in his movies--how many people-westerners anyway-find severed dog heads funny? He does).
Making fun of pedophilia like he did is not an edgelord--it means he had a bad taste in humor, out of touch with many people in the audience. Imagine him in a room full of parents and saying some of the things he said on twitter. How would they react? Laugh? The more critical issue is Hollywood had no problem with that-his career is bigger than ever--they rewarded him for his tweets. They could have promoted new talent instead of recycling Gunn now between DC and Marvel. And audiences don't love him--they certainly do not.
BTW speaking of pedos, did Hollywood ever make a movie about the father who shot his son's attacker in the head when he was being brought through a courthouse? He shot him dead and from what I remember, they did not put him on trial--I guess they figured most people would not feel he should be convicted. They should ask the ironically named Gunn how he feels about that case.

And the more you try to convince me the more I'm beginning to think you're a fanboy, so it would be wise of you to quit.

Like your assumption that I claimed James Gunn to be an edgelord (hint: that wasn't me). Or your assumption that I'm a fanboy (outside of GOTG, I don't actually like Gunn's movies). By the way, if you're going to be a spelling nazi then you might want to make sure you spell "patronising" correctly. Kind of a bad look for you to call out others on their spelling when you're making mistakes yourself.

For someone who claims to not be a fan then you might want to tell your comments that then because they're singing a completely different tune. Have a word.

Care to post a link to your supposed spelling standard? I live in Canada and we use pretty similar spelling to the UK, and we still spell it patronizing. In the end, I don't care. I'm not the one calling people out for spelling mistakes as a way to divert a discussion. As for my comments, which comments of mine point to me being a fan? What I've been trying to do is tell people not to pass judgement on someone (especially something as serious as being a pedo) without actual facts on hand. Is that your definition of what makes someone a fan?

Search for patronising then you'll get your answer as for you saying you're not a fan of James Gunn other than his Guardians movies, those films are the only movies he's ever done aside from the latest Suicide Squad so of course you are. Stop making child sex jokes then I won't be rightly suspecting you of being a pedophile, it's really fucking simple.

You have a very weird definition of what a "fan" is. I mean, if your definition of "fan" is this wonky then I don't think you're the best person to define what makes a pedo.

Has James Gunn ever named a specific child in any of his jokes? Has he referred to a specific child by name and called them sexy or horny? And again, I never called him an edgelord. He probably is, but those weren't my words.

There’s no indication that James Gunn’s tweets were anything more than crude jokes that were intended to “shock” people. That would make him an edgelord, not a pedophile.

He probably is, but those weren't my words. He made over 40 indecent jokes he didn't name a child specifically he just spoke sexually of a hyperthetical child or a real anonymous child that he knows. You've said he probably is which means you do think he's an "edgelord". Are we done here? You're clearly a fan and as I said to you earlier stop doing your Clarice Starling impression and just stick to watching his movies.

Would you then agree that you're clearly exaggerating the situation here to make him look worse than he is? And again, do you think me liking 1 movie out of his 17 movies makes me a fan? Funny how you've been avoiding that question.
