I hope my current bosses never look at anything I posted here in 2001.

It's funny how people who forgive all of Trump's bullshit think this is justified. Gotta have rules! But only for everybody else.

I don't tweet or Facebook. I realized the way the world was going years ago so I backed the **** out of that bull. So as long as nobody ever looks at this place, where I've said some pretty ****ed up disgusting shit, I'm gonna be ok.

ROFL

It's like that South Park episode where there's a huge threat to reveal everyone's internet search history and it sends South Park into a mass panic.

Wow are you delusional, or a revisionist history buff.

my former employer knew about this place and that I was BigRedChief. I'm not ashamed of anything posted on here so they were good.

The right is now weaponizing political correctness against celebrities.

Dan Harmon also deleted his twitter after an old video of him mock raping a baby doll was found. So who knows about rick and morty now.

I like GotG and it was good BECAUSE of Gunn... but I can't feel too sorry for him. He's one of many who has supported this climate of calling people out for bad jokes and getting them fired. Hell, I think gunn even agreed with his own firing.

Society is going to get really boring in this snitchy call out culture.

We live in an era of online abuse and trolling, and any young kid who is bored to death and thinks it'll be largely consequence-less if he wants to spend his youth being an asshole on the internet needs to be aware that this behavior is not and is never acceptable.

This has nothing to do with trolling or harassment.

This is about a family friendly company firing someone because he made awful pedophile jokes before they had even hired him.

I personally find pedo jokes offensive, but that doesn't mean they're inherently offensive. The fact that he was engaging with someone convicted of child pornography doesn't help his case in the slightest.

Look, if you're unhappy about political correctness and call out culture I'm with you.

If you're selectively opposed to it when your ox is gored, you're part of the problem.

Bottom line is Trump isn't employed by Disney. I'm sure they would have fired him.

Disney also made a film 24 years ago with a convicted child molester Victor Salva. Powder.

Something is fishy about this whole thing.

It doesn't matter how old it was because most people didn't know.

Now that a hate mob has made it viral, it is what it is.

It's hard to take a position of "Race jokes are bad, but jokes about ****ing kids are acceptable."

That's a hard line to sell anyone with a functioning brain. This call out PC culture is toxic as ****.

People never learn. That is why one of the iron laws of life, particularly when it comes to society and power, is: Me Today, You Tomorrow.

People don't think when breaking societal mores that they just opened it up for their worst enemy in the world to now use that same thing against them.

"What if this power was given to the worst possible person?" is something everyone should consider.

Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. It's as if we've seen that suggested and implemented before.
