Gunn told some off-color jokes which Disney was well aware of for years before some alt-righters brought them back up as a gotcha. And they got him indeed. But they were obviously jokes, even if they were inappropriate or offensive to some. I for one don't care what somebody's tweeting if they are making awesome movies like GoTG.
I don't see how you can say Gunn "got what he deserved" but then defend Lasseter's behavior in this day and age. Both firings were knee-jerk overreactions IMO, and I'm glad both talented guys are getting opportunities elsewhere.
The man told “jokes” about how he was a pedophile, is friends with multiple convicted pedophiles, and attended pedophile themed parties. Disney simply could not afford for their brand to be associated with him. Lasseter hugged some people.
