Have you even read the James Gunn tweets? Apparently not, based upon this response and false equivocation. Seth McFarlane has for years called out the degeneracy in Hollywood through humor (i.e. the Kevin Spacey basement joke with Stewie. McFarlane's joke about award nominated actresses not needing to pretend to find Harvey Weinstein attractive anymore). It's certainly not high brow humor, but within the context of family guy, it makes sense and no one is questioning if Seth McFarlane is promoting the acceptance of pedophilia. Not the same with James Gunn.
It's not virtue signalling to call out cringy and downright horrific comments about pedophilia for what they are. What James Gunn wrote on twitter is absolutely disgusting. They're not edgy, they're not funny, there's no context, there's no nuance. It's very interesting how the pedophile defense force has circled the wagons with James Gunn in certain segments of the media and Hollywood.
There are a lot better hills to die on instead of defending someone who talks about climaxing to a video of prepubescent girls touching themselves, a video that was shared with Gunn by a certian Huston Huddleston, a man who is convicted of possessing child pornography.
The bottom line is that if Rosanne Barr making a joke, an albeit bad joke, about Valerie Jarett looking like a character from Planet of the Apes is a fireable offense for Disney; then dozens of tweets about rape and pedophilia should also be a fireable offense for Disney as well. This is not someone being ostracized for political speech or opinion. This is about a company equally applying their own standards in the case of their employees social media presence.

How about Dan Harmon of Rick and Morty and Community pretending to rape a baby? Is this something that we as a society should accept? Is this just sexual preference? Is this something that an employer should be prohibited from taking action against? Should pedophiles be a protected class? If you look at mainstream media articles in publications like Salon....They're arguing the case for the acceptance of pedos in an article which has long since been deleted from their site, but is easily available on a variety of archive websites.
There are objectives truths in this world. Neither Harmon nor Gunn are making some kind of social commentary. This is not a critique of our culture or the current zeitgeist. This is pure degeneracy, and it deserves to be called out for what it is.
