The clergy molesting children under organized religion and the higher energy of the divine spirit are two different animals. I will not support a system that covers for the molestation of kids no matter what it calls itself.

Because we live in a 3 dimensional existence in which things such as death and sickness, racism,drugs and war and famine and rape and all the materialism which inspires greed, thievery and using others etc etc...we are subject to the rules here. When you come to the realization that we are trapped here until we can shed the flesh and bone and the prison we call the earth, you will begin a spiritual journey where you recognize your true nature and your purpose. And it doesn't have anything to do with burning incense, reciting mantras, wearing certain garments, fasting,tithing, killing fatted calfs or whatever ritualism man devised.

In order to ascend into a higher plane where the vibrational energy is not dense aka pure love in which the true powerhead creator exists we must overcome this world and exit it and not succumb to fear, hatred and anger materialism etc which are low density and low vibrational and keeps us in an infinite loop where we are fed off of .
Believe it or not there are spiritual vampires who feed on fear and suffering because they turned from the DIRECT energy or the source from which everything came. These entities no longer were sustained by the primary source of creation ie God, so they need to create a push and pull AC /DC alternating current system of dualism ie love and hate, day and night, sickness and health, man and woman, war and peace, truth and lies ..etc etc . That is why the world has ALWAYS been about survival, and
the obstacles that come with the task to survive daily.
We procreate to feed the machine and depending on how we progress spiritually we either continue in generational ignorance or we awaken, work to become more advanced and transcend the "matrix" we live in and begin to free others through awakening them. This can scientifically be described as entropy. Every energy transfer increases the disorder of the universe. The second law of thermal dynamics.
At the very top of the food chain, top of the pyramid are some of the most vile "humans" who sacrifice people, molest children,horde wealth, facilitate constant war, create perpetual fear and enslave people with debt. It is every individual's choice to either serve this pathetic, false and dysfunctional system where we are processed like food or to abandon it and reunite with the powerhead like the Prodigal son who left his father's loving home became impoverished,hungry,without friend and sleeping in a pig sty covered in sh!t.

So, like I said, makes you wonder why people send their kids to Church, huh?

I wouldn't suggest it.
I also would not suggest the worship of idols like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence, Beyonce, etc etc etc.... depraved people like Gunn who find amusement in the freakish debasing of children.
Energy flows where the attention goes. Placing your attention and energy into positive self improvement through meditation or higher learning via studying ,researching or devoting time for others to help elevate themselves is much more attune to the higher power of what humans should aspire to so they can break their spiritual bondage here on Earth.

There’s a rumor WB might hire him for DC movies. F**k. As a primarily DC fan, I hope he stays away from DCEU.

Hollwood is a a cess pool of child abusers. As a father I'd think you should be at least somewhat concerned. Imagine if your daughter was abused as you placed your trust in some perverted predator in film land. It happens ALL OF THE TIME!

People simply look the other way as in Kevin Spacey's case...all of the people in Hollywood knew and it was even a gag at one point on Family Guy. Then there is Corey Feldman and Corey Haim being abused and speaking openly about it. How about Bryan Singer drugging and raping 15 to 17 year old boys at parties? Glee star "Puck" Dan Salling being charged with possession of 100s of images of child porn.

All of the victims of these scum are very real and yet Dan Harmon creator of rick and Morty makes a video of himself sneaking into the window and actually having sex with a baby and that wasn't his only perverse red flag of being a pedo, his work is FILLED with references to children being raped. Watch at the 1:00 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=ftp9xlnUIjA

As far as I'm concerned anyone trying to downplay this is ignorant or complicit in the effort to normalize predators having sex with children. I can see if Gunn made an off color remark or two...but it was so many that it was fairly obvious he has a proclivity for pedophilia and in Hollywood where that behavior is acceptable where a guy like Roman Polanski who drugs and rapes a 13 year old, and fled the country getting away with it could be applauded.

Or what about Woody Allen who's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow claims he molested her when she was a child?
Allison Mack and NXIVM where she was luring young girls to become sex slaves?
Martin Weiss a very prominent Manager for Child Actors who was busted for having sex with minors who appeared on Disney and Nickelodeon.
Casting Director James Murphy who was arrested for kidnapping an 8 year old AFTER he was out on bail for molesting the child previously.
Jason Michael Handy production assistant and registered sex offender at Nickelodeon who was convicted of abusing children. These people prey on children's high hopes of becoming stars and fulfill their own sick desires and what's worse is many of the parents are fully aware and opt for the big money potential of selling their kids for cash.

Victor Salva director of Powder and Jeepers Creepers, video taped himself and the 12 year old boy giving him a B10wj0b.
Huston Huddleston, James Gunn's pal who was also found in posession of child porn?
How about the FBI pages that detail the abuse of Macaulay Culkin?
Then you have Rose McGowan who came out with her own story of the cult she escaped, the same one that Joaquin Poenix and River Phoenix were in and their life of sexual abuse and being raped as a 15 year old and how Hollywood covers up for Pedos.

I can keep going and going connecting Ped-dots but the real point here is if anyone here is making this situation out to be something less than what it is they are cowards and they are in part responsible for the types of horrid acts being perpetrated on kids by way of apathy and out of their own selfishness to place entertainment above the well being of innocent minors. Hollywood has a very serious Pedo problem and I don't think making excuses for it is going to fix the problem. It's sick and people should be ashamed of themselves.

That's still a large stretch between telling shocking and distasteful jokes and being caught with child pornography or having someone accuse you of raping them.

To say he's guilty because of other people being guilty makes no sense... It's like saying if you had a friend who had child pornography on his computer and he got caught your guilty also because you associated with him even though you probably didn't know anything about it...

Obviously it's a topic close to armitage, however this article makes a good point that Gunn did not breach his contract as all this was done prior to his hiring.

It also states that he is still in demand:

James Gunn in Demand for Major Studio Movies After Disney Firing

The 'Guardians' director has been approached by several top producers and executives dangling big film projects.

James Gunn may have been fired by Walt Disney Studios from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but many in Hollywood are looking to work with the controversial filmmaker.

Gunn, who was fired July 20 after past offensive tweets came to light, has been approached by several top producers and executives at major studios dangling big film projects, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

"I’d work with him in a heartbeat," says one senior executive at a rival studio. Like the dozen or so execs and producers THR spoke with, this exec asked to remain anonymous because Gunn is not permitted to entertain other offers while his negotiation to exit Disney is ongoing.

“I’ve been advised that we can’t bring anything to him until the Disney matter is 100 percent resolved,” says another studio executive. Major players said to be interested in Gunn’s services run the gamut from studios, including Warner Bros., which has its Disney/Marvel rival superhero movies via DC Entertainment, to Oscar-winning producers.

The interest makes sense given the outpouring of industry support for Gunn in the wake of his firing, including from the Guardians cast, which issued a joint letter calling for his reinstatement citing “little due process in the court of public opinion.” Actor Dave Bautista went so far as to say he would quit the franchise if Gunn’s script weren’t used.

But any major studio hiring Gunn likely would face immediate criticism from the same people who bombarded Disney with calls for Gunn’s firing after the conservative website The Daily Caller resurfaced tweets Gunn sent from 2008 to 2011 that joked in racist and homophobic fashion. Then again, the Disney brand is often held to a higher standard than, say, Warners or Lionsgate, which don’t tout a specific family-friendly brand to consumers. Some execs and producers are mulling a cooling-off period of several months before making any official announcements.

Multiple sources say that Gunn, repped by UTA and attorney Andrew Hurwitz, remains locked in complicated negotiations with Disney over his exit settlement. He has written the script for Guardians 3 and was to have directed the third installment of a franchise whose first two entries (also written and directed by Gunn) grossed $773 million and $863 million, respectively.

Sources say that Gunn, while under contract for the third movie, likely was not "pay or play,” a status that would require Disney to pay him his full fee regardless of whether his services are actually used. Filmmakers typically reach pay-or-play status when a movie is officially greenlighted or eight weeks prior to the start of production, neither of which had occurred. But Gunn is not said to have breached his contract because the offensive tweets were sent years before he first signed with Disney’s Marvel Studios.

Some experienced talent reps estimate that due to the unique situation, Gunn could receive a payout of $7 million to $10 million, if not potentially higher. And, more importantly, he would be free to take on another project immediately. Also affecting the negotiations is that Disney plans on using Gunn's script for the third Guardians pic, according to sources.

Disney, Marvel and reps for Gunn declined to comment.

There may be an unexpected twist to the story. Two sources say there is a hope through the talks that Gunn could return in some fashion, even if it’s to develop and direct another Marvel movie. “An end-all verdict hasn’t been issued and conversations with Marvel are still ongoing,” says one source familiar with the proceedings.

That leaves Gunn and his potential suitors waiting to see the outcome of the talks. “Most people feel his comments were coming out of his brand of comedy [at the time he made them],” says another studio exec. “Having an inappropriate sense of humor shouldn’t be a crime.”

I have no idea what he does in his spare time nor do you. I am not saying he does or does not own graphic images of child porn, or that he's guilty of ever abusing someone. I do personally feel in spite of the overwhelming evidence of the trend in Hollywood with children his tweets numerous as they were were beyond poor taste and most likely an indicator that he seems obsessed with the subject of minors and the sexualizing thereof. Here's a tweet of his...tell me how you justify this KNOWING he's making all these references and leaving them up publicly.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you guys – last night I did a reading with a convicted pedophile.”-GUNN


Like attracts like. I can honestly say if I found out my friend was into molesting kids I would find other friends and I sure as hell would NOT make fun of it.
I guess a MY LITTLE PONY animator named Tom Wysom, found with over 60,000 images of child porn and over 1000 videos could be funny if you are a degenerate pervert who like the idea of hurting kids and making money off the photos/vids by selling them to creeps. That is just hilarious! is it not!!? Big money in it from what I understand. Which is why a guy like Coach Jerry Sandusky can nail 10 and 12 year olds right in the gym locker room at Penn State for YEARS and get away while everyone looked the other way.

As though it were if making numerous jokes regarding that subject is an attempt to fly a flag and see who salutes/approves or at the least to minimize/normalize the idea of pedophilia. That's just my opinion based on observations I've concluded the
agenda being, sexualization of children through music,movies, advertising,gaming and clothing.
I can give hundreds of examples over the course of many years.
Anyhow the point being, I personally choose not to patronize a person who continually made reference to pedophilia even if it were jokes in poor taste. I have no problem and I mean NO PROBLEM offending people.

I respect edgy humor and "offensive material", I don't mind boundary pushing at all, I''ve always always been in favor of free speech. In light of all the reports and evidence though and history of horrible acts committed on children, as well as being a father I do take child abuse very very seriously. I think society needs to protect the most innocent among us which are our children and ensure they don't grow into monsters themselves and perpetuate the negative aspects of our society and victimization of the weak.

As many people who are on this site who all parade their love of heroes through comics,movies,cartoons and statues, yet when it comes to REAL LIFE they turn their blind eye to things like child abuse?! WTF is that? Heroes are supposed to protect the weak are they not?! Who is MORE helpless,innocent and vulnerable than a CHILD?

If Gunn had made a couple jokes like he did I'd have thought it was crude and he was making an effort to be fringe, I could have blown it off but given the amount and the fact even AFTER he did it and apologized he left the tweets up, tells me exactly all I need to know. And given the history in Hollywood
Seems to me any normal person would have immediately deleted those posts if they truly meant the apology they had given. Anyway it's just my two cents. I understand other people see things differently so they may not agree with me and I have no problem with that. If someone presents an argument with actual facts that change my opinion I'm open to that as well.

[built2shred]

So what's the connection between James Gunn and Tom Wysom? I tried googling their names together but nothing comes up.

I like how you now equate people wanting actually evidence against Gunn before convicting him to people turning a blind eye to child abuse.

Nobody is saying what he posted was right, it's obviously wrong and messed up, but before we convict someone of being a pedophile or a rapist lets see some actually evidence or at the very least some witnesses/victims accusing him of it...

Also If I remember the article right Gunn did take down those tweets years ago but the "far right" dug them up on backup servers.

If there's evidence against Gunn being a pedophile then yeah throw his ass in prison, I have no problem with that, but I'm not going to convict a guy because of the "History of Hollywood" which seems to be your basis for your whole argument. Your mindset is guilty until proven innocent...

I love DC, but thus far outside of Wonder Woman I'm fine with taking chances and new directions. I'd be perfectly fine with him doing a Green Lanterns movie. I'd trust him to do better than the prior attempt at it (I know that wasn't technically DCEU).
