Here are the tweets, which were captured by Fox News:

1. Many people who have followed my career know when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 20, 2018
2. It’s not to say I’m better, but I am very, very different than I was a few years ago; today I try to root my work in love and connection and less in anger. My days saying something just because it’s shocking and trying to get a reaction are over.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 20, 2018
4. For the record, when I made these shocking jokes, I wasn’t living them out. I know this is a weird statement to make, and seems obvious, but, still, here I am, saying it.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 20, 2018
5. Anyway, that’s the completely honest truth: I used to make a lot of offensive jokes. I don’t anymore. I don’t blame my past self for this, but I like myself more and feel like a more full human being and creator today. Love you to you all.

From the people that predicted GB2016 was gonna be a smash hit, it's "Optimistic but Wrong Prediction #1453", now in theatres.

Again, how is it that James Gunn is taking this better than everyone else?

He may not be smart, but at least he's loyal and I find that kinda refreshing.

It's going to be very awkward if there turns out to be a bunch of child rape jokes in the script.

Weinberg is a borderline cow. I followed him for a while back in my Twitter days but he's in with the MovieBob/Faraci circle if I remember right.

Yeah, at one point during the Harry Knowles proto-#MeToo scandal, he chimped out and threatened to sue Lloyd Kaufman for making fun of him.

He's gotten worse since then. I may have to do some research, he might need a thread.

A... Pedophilia-themed costume party. Yeah, things are slowly starting to get weirder, now that people are digging back further and further into his blogs.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: people defend this guy at their own risk.

I'm reminded of Dave chapelles take on the Spacey saga. Can the victims come out after the new GOTG is released pretty please?

I keep hearing rumors that Gunn might get rehired but if those photos start getting shared as fast as I think they will, Disney would be fucking NUTS to rehire him. So far only sites like Breitbart and InfoWars have them up.

Why is this dude so obsessed with pedophilia? I can get a couple jokes here and there but a fucking pedo-themed party? Is that something people do??

Word is Disney isn't going to rehire Gunn. His fans can bitch and moan all they want, but you pretty much hit the nail on the head when you said Disney would be fucking nuts to rehire him.

Speaking of his fans bitching and moaning, good god Bob. Roseanne's fans didn't even go this far to defend her. And given the mental gymnastics being used to defend James Gunn and Sarah Jeong, they'd probably be justified in doing so.

The rumors of Gunn possibly being hired come from Marvel Studios. The subdivision of Disney, run by Kevin Feige, that has been lobbying Disney Corporate hard and publicly to get Gunn back. Then Friday night these pictures dropped. Important lesson there. You DON’T FUCK WITH OR QUESTION THE MOUSE! No really, in case anyone hasn’t figured it out, Disney, ie Alan Horn head of Disney Studios and Bob Iger, CEO have known about these since the tweets were discovered. This is why Gunn instantly became radioactive and fired. And that was that until the Merry Marvel Morons in Marvel Studios started publicly sperging out over it. At which point the Mouse did what the Mouse does and dropped the dossier. Think that will finally shut Bautista up?

I think with these weird ass pictures having come to light that it's safe to assume he's diddled at least one kid at some point.

Or will. As someone said, who in their right fucking mind stages a “let’s pretend to be pedophiles” party? What exactly is the thought process that leads to that? And no “edgy” is not sufficient.

I mean I'm not a pedophile expert but I don't think pedophiles would find adult women dressing like schoolgirls sexy.
