BTW, my hubby was a coal miner for a decade...prolly heard every dirty joke out there. I showed him the list and his jaw dropped.

So yeah, spectrum of stupid comments... Gunn is a winner.

I see no evidence he HAS changed, in fact over the weekend all he did was delete thousands of tweets, and make excuses for it. If he were truly sorry he would issue a video explaining why he felt compelled to say such disgusting things and maybe even make donations to the many organizations that help protect children from the shit he basically advocated.

How brain dead do you have to be to advocate pedophilia??? I don't think keeping him from directing one movie is much of a punishment, but it might deter other freaks from doing the same thing. It's clear from reading JSF's post that people listened to him and it had an effect. If the only good thing to come out of social media is that we can collectively take a ruler and smack a dumb adults' hand for misbehavior, we should take it and use it.



BTW....just a point. He didn't remove ANYTHING until it was pointed out. In the last 10 years he never experienced ANY shame about his posts. That tells me more than anything!



No evidence? Apparently you missed all the people who know him personally who have come out saying those tweets don't represent who he is today. I mean Selma Blair doesn't even have any financial self interest in supporting the man and she came out with stories pretty early on in the metoo movement about things she experienced. So, her support seems rather telling to me.

Regardless clearly no one is advocating pedophilia. Comedians and everyday people make jokes about things that they in no way advocate for. That doesn't mean his tweets were ok. They were in poor taste clearly. From what I've read he initially did not delete them as a way of owning his past. He was trying to have a rational discussion and not just hide things. That didn't really work because so many people didn't want to hear anything about the situation beyond the tweets. So, he since deleted the tweets.

A rational and sensible post in a rant thread from BungBetty?

Yep, I've had anal with my husband. I also have a wide range of toys and he knows how to use every one of them. Well.

Still more respectable than a freak like you.

I'll be in my bunk with a man who loves my junk and you'll just be rotting away. You couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fist full of $100s.


Night, JustaStinkyFucker

I have better people ta do now. Buh-bye!

Maybe they can pay him more money. The original contract would have been a bargain.

More evidence against him. This again sounds pretty bad. However, we don't know how long ago this was and whether he has reformed.

Don't know if he is or not; but word is, psychiatrists say pedophiles do not reform.
