NAMBLA? Yikes.

Always thought he was a weird hire for Disney considering his "edgy" earlier work.

That said, are they going to fire Robert Downey Jr for the stuff he was doing earlier in his career? Doubt it.

If he posted anything bad on Twitter, they might....

They haven't fired Johnny Depp from the Pirates movies for physically abusing his wife.

I’m fine with him getting canned but he apologized for the same tweets 6 years ago and Disney hired him knowing about them. Those are pretty typical of “edgy” jokes at the time and like Gunn said they’re also pretty lame.

However, this was all being pushed by Mike Cernovich who is an alt-right guy, an actual rapist who claims date rape doesn’t exist. He got a guy temporarily fired from MSNBC before they realized they’d been bad and hired him back.

Odd isn't it.

Put it in the "sounds false but true" thread?
