Yeah defo, but one thing I wonder is how the fandom will react to this. I hope people are smart enough to not boycott Disney and Marvel over this, and look ahead instead, since it's not the first time they've dropped creators. And while he was planned to be a big part of what will happen in phase 4, it's not as big the idea of dropping Feige, and the current phase isn't over yet so they still have time to plan things out and not rush it.

And if the fandom is going to turn on somebody, it should be on the likes of Cernovich who made this happen to begin with, and make sure reactionary elements like the alt-right aren't accepted in their circles.

But the worst thing about this, and I'm not trying to victim blame here, is that it could've easily been avoided on Gunn's part, if he apparently had used a tweet delete service. Although I'm kinda skeptical of that, since I remember last time using something like that on one of my old accounts, certain tweets and images that were old enough couldn't get deleted because they were archived. But I could be wrong on that.
