Ja*es G*nn did sexual joke tweet about Justin Bieber when Justin was 16 (James already was 40 years old when he tweeted all these jokes). He also joked about his friend “killed a whore in Mexico” etc. People called J*mes G*nn out for sexism and racism several times in the last years, especially how he treated Mantis and in GotG Gamora is called a “green whore” (there’s several bad sexual jokes in GotG)

Sounds like he was sorry he got caught.

I suspect the fish anon is referring to the idea of Poe being boyfriends with Dumail Ackbar. (Moth)

Ohhh that! I don’t see a problem personally, dumail is a fully sentient person (link). SW doesn’t seem quite as interspecies relationship-happy as Star Trek, but it’s happened in canon esp. with human men and Twi’lek women. I don’t see how it’s any worse than Kanan or Lando having relationships–and in Kanan’s case, a kid–with tentacle-headed women.

That Elevator question from the one anon was weird…. how is a Revan fanboy comparable to Azula apologists and Reylos?! The worst I’ve seen them do is insist that Revan can beat any other Jedi/Sith in a fight (he can’t btw) and get shitty with people who don’t agree

Too much a hard-on for destroying entire planets maybe? I haven’t heard anything about Revan stans on par with those other groups, but I’m not very deep in KOTOR fandom.

An alt-right troll found some really, really, REALLY old tweets of Gunn were he made some edgy jokes and got him fired from Disney. Granted, they tweets were gross but James admitted they were gross and apologized for those tweets many times

Yeah that’s shitty. So like, unrepentent sexual predators can take some of the highest offices in the land but people who apologize and learn from the wrong they did will be summarily fired?

Is it unreasonable to assume the prequels would have been better films (or at least had decent dialogue) if Lucas wasn’t in charge of every goddamn aspect or had people shut him down sometimes?

I think it’s completely reasonable. Starting from OT onward some of the best lines and developments came from other people shutting him down and sometimes actors just outright refusing to say his lines and making up their own. He got too big for people to argue with him in PT, and arguably this started even in RotJ. He’s a great worldbuilder and creator but not the best director or writer, and he should have listened to others to shore up his weaknesses.

“Chuck Wendig says he was removed from the ‘Shadow of Vader’ series with two issues left unwritten over the “negativity and vulgarity” his tweets bring” “Star Wars writer Chuck Wendig claims Marvel fired him for “vulgarity” and “too much politics” on his social media”

I’m kinda happy about that because I don’t like Wendig or his writing a whole lot, but on the other hand I’m wondering if he’s been targeted by right-wing trolls like Gunn was.
