Bobcat Goldthwait Asks Disney To Remove His Voice From A Theme Park Attraction In Protest Of James Gunn?s Firing
https://uproxx.com/hitfix/bobcat-goldthwait-disney-protest-james-gunn-firing/

I love @jamesgunn. He?s a loyal friend, super talented, passionate and kind. I wanted to say something, here it is:

Dear @disney, I would hate for you to come off as hypocritical so I?m suggesting that you remove my voice from an attraction that?s coming to your park. It?s called WORLD OF COLOR ? VILLAINOUS, and I reprise the role of Pain, a role I played in HERCULES. You see here?s the deal, years ago I made a lot of sarcastically shocking and offensive jokes. Many that I?m embarrassed about now, and I?d hate to make you guys look bad seeing that I?m openly critical of the president and his administration, and you seem to be taking your lead from some of his radical fringe supporters. I think James Woods may have recorded a voice for this new attraction, too.

Why not check out some of his whacky past tweets?! They?re a hoot! For the record I do stand with survivors of sexual abuse and I was wondering if you guys are still making money off of your movie POWDER? Asking for a friend. Thanks, Bobcat

I have no issues with people being punished by private employers for their horrible words and/or actions, but this James Gunn situation is really ****ty. His tweets were gross and NOT funny, but Disney was aware of the tweets and he apologized for them YEARS AGO. And Disney was fine with it!

For them to suddenly change their minds and fire him now is absolutely ridiculous. If new allegations from years past had surfaced, then I'd get it. If he posted these tweets last week then yes, I would 100% support Disney's action on this, but that's not what happened. I really hope he gets re-hired.
 
Guardians of the Galaxy star quits Twitter after James Gunn firing
http://ew.com/movies/2018/07/23/guardians-galaxy-cast-james-gunn/

This account will be inactive after today. We're very tired & upset over the ongoing BULL****… neither I nor my rep will use Twitter again. Twitter sucks and I want nothing to do with it.

Thank you to all who gave kind words & support. See you on Instagram.
