It's another bout of whatabautism after other people lost their jobs for saying bad stuff online or actually physically committing sexual assault and so on.
It does reveal the difference between the two USAs though. Anyone who is liberal will be shunned and punished for saying bad stuff or harassing people while the conservatives defend their own when the president or someone brags with sexual assault. ...If this whatabautism as well? Probably but the point must be made. Gunn said some horrible stuff as a joke and now he is a persona non-grata for Disney because they fear that their fans will abandon them. Cernovich was the one who dug out these tweets and he has history of making rape jokes and defending rapists (he had a tweet where he told people to go and try to rape women without using force and that when they realize that it can't be done they must accept that "date rape" does not exist because it is impossible to commit a rape without force... Which in my opinion is a lot worse than making horrible jokes.) and clearly does not think that the comments by Gunn are bad. He just thinks that he can prove "lib-cuck" hypocrisy by pointing out that Gunn has said bad stuff as well.
OK, I'd like some evidence that Cernovich said that and meant it.
But more important, I think it might be more about holding people to their own standards. After the Roseanne debacle, Gunn made
this now-deleted tweet:
I wish some of these so-called defenders of liberty would start to understand what freedom of speech is AND isn’t. Roseanne is allowed to say whatever she wants. It doesn’t mean @ABCNetwork needs to continue funding her TV show if her words are considered abhorrent.
He basically preemptively justified his own firing with this tweet, especially since ABC is owned by Disney. And the fact that he deleted it seems to indicate that he knows it too.
