It's amazing how the side that Gunn is on will cannibalize themselves.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this comment, but I do know that just like the "would/wouldn't" controversy, context is important.
If you never bother to put the comments in context, and only take it for what it's presented to be, it can mean whatever you frame it to mean. "Would/wouldn't" in context makes absolutely no sense. Roseanne's comments in context are exactly as they appear to be. James Gunn's comments (the tweets at least, I never saw the blog post) in context are clearly extremely perverse humor directed at a very specific audience, that was in line with humor of the crowd he was associated with. Nothing said was meant to be literal, from my understanding at least.
and the fact that it was directly addressed, apologized for, and apparently left on display as a reminder of who he used to be vs who is he is today, makes it kinda shitty that Disney would go all shock and awe when it was pasted as front page news instead of making a formal statement kicking the can down the road to let the dust settle.
I'm not upset that they did it, as I assume it's for a reason (no drama for shareholder vote is my theory).
This is really on Gunn for not erasing it all after formally apologizing for it years ago.
