what are we talking about? the pretense was that he was shitcanned for several year old tweets (as in before he was ever hired by disney in the first place) that he also apologized for, at the time, and removed. maybe i'm not in the loop as to the real reason though.

That is why. It was dug up by some righties because he likes to get on his moral high horse and talk shit, namely on Trump but the typical leftist tirades. He's a total fraud, can't be a total fraud and think you can continue to be a beloved member of the Mouse House with those broken toys in the attic.

so he was bullied out of the position, but for a "good cause". it's still bullying. and it wasn't even for the real reason they wanted him kicked out apparently.

How is exposing him bullying? We all have to own up to our actions, and I will give him credit for taking it in stride. Not nearly the same as crying "Not Gay Enough!" when they know fuckall about the person, and in a situation where it matters fuckall.

exposing him for making stupid jokes that he shouldn't have, he apologized for. that disney absolutely knew he'd made before hiring him to the first guardians. or for being critical of trump and trump supporters? because the reason given for his firing was not for being critical of trump/trump supporters.

what i'm calling bullying is the making up a mob to get him fired for the tweet of bad jokes from several years ago. that is not pointing that he's an asshole toward trump. that is bullying him out of the position and under false pretense, as you've since pointed out.

I didn't know Disney knew about it beforehand. If they did, was it the same execs?... Why are we doing this dance? The latter led to wanting to expose him and thus ended up in his firing, we all know this.

bob iger, alan horn. i believe were the same execs from at least the start of the mcu, if not earlier. and yeah i didn't mention feige. but i haven't seen anything publicly from him.

you guys felt it wasn't okay to get roseanne fired for being critical of liberals, under the pretense of a bad joke tweet (a recent tweet) maybe it wasn't okay to get gunn fired for being critical of conservatives under the pretense of a bad joke tweet (a years old bad joke tweet) or maybe it is okay.

They both were exposed for doing dumbass shit in their past, that's the brass tacks. Obviously Disney decided to hold themselves to a higher standard, ironic for a company founded by ol' Walt, I know. Main difference is, everyone already knew Trump was a womanizer and chauvinist, Gunn the fraud tried to pass himself off as some beacon of virtue. People want(ed) both bounced from their House, just a little more difficult with Trump.

if there was accusations of criminal activity by gunn, i'd absolutely be understanding of why he was kicked out. if he actually was what they were implying he was (or maybe outright claiming?) because of the bad jokes he made in the past, then i'd be all for his removal. that doesn't appear to be the case.

I never said I personally think he should have been fired (hint: I don't), what I said was that it wasn't bullying as the catalyst for it.

the catalyst was not the bullying. the catalyst was the reason for the bullying. roseanne was bullied out of her job too, but there was a "catalyst" there as well, to be clear.
