Except that this hypothetical left-of-center person wouldn't be bringing those tweets to light for Trump, they'd be bringing them to light for the fact that they're fucking gross
Does this apply to Melissa Barrera as well? An incident you’ve barely commented upon except once where you tried to make it about how you were right for disliking the Scream movies?
"Who your enemies are" matters, or should matter, in the same way that "What have you become or evolved to in the intervening time since?" Should matter. It doesn't always, but if we're human beings and practice empathy then it needs to matter.
I can’t speak on whether the (temporary) firing of Gunn was justified and Mike Cernovich is certainly garbage, but with that said, I’m skeptical that as many people would be defending him if he hadn’t made the funny raccoon movies.
I mean, Gunn was in his 40’s when he made those old tweets. It’s not like he was a child. That begs the question, did Gunn genuinely mature from his old edgelord days, or did he just rebrand himself to avoid getting in trouble again?
Couldn’t you make excuses like this for basically anyone who makes offensive edgelord “jokes” though?
To be clear, I’m not accusing Gunn of being a pedo. I’m just not convinced people would rush to his defense if he hadn’t made some geek movies they liked.

This shouldn't be difficult to parse.
Or the reality show where he psychologically abused actresses for not doing something they were uncomfortable with
