Or not.
If you have the writer's personal take on the right and wrong of the guy being cut loose in that article, please quote it.
Otherwise, it's largely statement of fact accompanied by laying out Dave's take(which was already tackled in an earlier article). That said supporter started the ball rolling is no more an indictment than "offensive" is.
The writer's twitter indicates he is not a fan of Trump's.

So there's that.
Bautista has F-U money, he made a tidy sum in WWE and left when he wasn't satisfied with it any more and went into MMA and acting with the mindset that it could be fun/challenging and if it's not he can quit without worrying about money. He specificly likes working with Gunn and doesn't like the studio machine so I don't he is too worried about being replaced.
Snowflakes melt in flame wars.
Let's take a look at the quote again.
More context is given to Trump supporters and their motivations than Gunn's "old, offensive tweets". There is no context for what "old, offensive tweets" means in the article. There is context for the motivation of the "Trump supporters."due to Trump supporters resurfacing old, offensive tweets from the filmmaker. Gunn has been a staunch, vocal opposer of the president.
I wouldn't say "it's not there in that article." But that's just my reading of it.

Can we please not act like Pedophilia doesn't have a unique stigma to it. It's the one crime once accused even if falsely it will ruin your life people don't care about therapy, doing your time, or whatever like other crimes they just want you gone even if an accusation just to be safe when it's pedophilia related. Sadly I again 100% believe Gunn was just a provocateur and nothing else but going forward when ever his name is mentioned a large part of the general public will think "Why so many pedophile jokes? You know where there's smoke there's fire" and when you have a brand like Marvel that is being targeted primary at families and kids you don't want pedophilia in the conversation.
Gunn unfortunately goes screwed by the share volume of jokes. I knew who Gunn was when hired I was a fan of his I knew of his Troma days and I get he was he going for trying to get a rise out of "polite" society. Bur most people didn't know who Gunn was before Guardians and most don't research a Director but with all the headlines now they know in his past he made tons of Pedophilia jokes and they ask why? Unlike me and you and many here they don't get his motivations they just wonder why this guy seemed obsessed with Pedophilia.
I feel bad for Gunn and don't like the people who targeted him but I understand Disney's position no company would risk a brand as valuable as Marvel is right now for one person they won't.
